I Was Always Young - Don McLean

I Was Always Young - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)

I was always young the picture means so much now
我还是那么青春年少 这些照片对我意味深长
Photos of those friends that we knew
里面也有我们老朋友的照片
Who said they'd keep in touch
他们说过会常保持联系
But they never called us much
但他们再也了无音讯
I'm doing very well while my looks have gone to hell
我的身体健康无恙 虽然我曾目睹死神亲临
But what's really strange is how little you have changed
但真正令我感到陌生的是 你几乎毫无变化一如从前
I've grown old missing you grown old stuck in the past
我已老得时常追忆起你 一直活在过去的罅隙中
The future must have stopped somewhere
未来一定会在某处停滞不前
Maybe it was never there
也可能在此之前便戛然而止
But I've grown old at last
但我终究会长大成人
You were always young
而你总是那么青春年少
Your picture stays so faithful
照片上的你总是自信满满
I never saw those friends that
我再也没见过我们那些老朋友
We knew who called out of the blue
有天他们突然打来电话
They asked how they could reach you
他们问我如何才能联系上你
They said they're doing very well
他们说他们已经仁至义尽
While our friendship went to hell
然而我们的友谊早已烟消云散
But I couldn't bear to say
但我忍不住脱口而出
That I missed you every day
我每天都在想念你啊
I've grown old missing you
人越长大我越想你
Grown old stuck in the past
活在过去的罅隙中
The future must have stopped somewhere
未来一定会在某处停滞不前
Maybe it was never there
也可能在此之前便戛然而止
But I've grown old at last
但我终究会长大成人
Your picture never speaks
你的照片默默无言
It never gets much clearer
它也会泛黄最后模糊不清
When magnified it never brings you nearer
即便将之放大也无法凑近你一分一毫
Through all those empty years watermarked with tears
穿越无数空虚的岁月 泪水一遍遍浸润了水印
It's held up very well while my life has gone to hell
它会一直保存完好 而我终有一天魂归地府
But what's really strange is how little I have changed
但真正令我感到陌生的是 你几乎毫无变化一如从前
I've grown old missing you
人越长大我越想你
Grown old stuck in the past
一直活在过去的罅隙中
The future must have stopped somewhere
未来一定会在某处停滞不前
Maybe it was never there
但也可能在此之前便戛然而止
But I've grown old at last
但我终究会长大成人
