The Circle Game - Buffy Sainte-Marie

Lyrics by：Joni Mitchell

Composed by：Joni Mitchell

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
昨天一个小孩儿出来探索世界
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
抓了一只蜻蜓装进瓦罐
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
害怕布满天空的雷电
And tearful at the falling of a star
为坠落的星星而泪流满面
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
孩子随着十载岁月成长
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
滑过一条条明净冰冻的河流
Words like when you're older must appease him
年长者的话会使他满足安宁
And promises of someday make his dreams
还有几时的承诺去圆他的梦想
And the seasons they go round and round
四季不停循环
And the painted ponies go up and down
儿时的木马转啊转
We're captive on the carousel of time
我们是时间的俘虏
We can't return we can only look behind
我们回不到过去 只能回望
From where we came
我们来时的地方
And go round and round and round
就这样一直在人生的
In the circle game
圆圈游戏中循环
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
十六个春夏过去了
Cartwheels cross to car wheels thru the town
马车变成了汽车 开在小镇的街道上
And you tell him
告诉他
Take your time it won't be long now
抓紧时间 你的时间没有多长了
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
直到你加快脚步 让时间的轮子循环的慢一点
So the boy who dreamed tomorrow now is twenty
时间飞逝 现在男孩已经二十
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
虽然他的梦想已经失去了那份壮丽
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams a plenty
但是会有新的梦想出现 可能更美好更丰富
Before the last revolving year is through
在最后的一个人生循环之前
And the seasons they go round and round
四季不停循环
And the painted ponies go up and down
儿时的木马转啊转
We're captive on the carousel of time
我们是时间的俘虏
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
我们回不到过去 只能回望我们来时的地方
And go round and round and round in the circle again
就这样一直在人生的圆圈游戏中循环
And go round and round and round in the circle again
就这样一直在人生的圆圈游戏中循环
And go round and round and round in the circle again
就这样一直在人生的圆圈游戏中循环
And go round and round and round in the circle again
就这样一直在人生的圆圈游戏中循环
And go round and round and round in the circle again
就这样一直在人生的圆圈游戏中循环
And go round and round and round
不停循环
