The River-Kyla La Grange

[00:08.410]When I was 10 years old I always needed to be told
小时候总被告知 [00:12.010]That I should not be frightened by the fact that we grow old
长大后就不再恐惧现实 [00:15.970]But as the days slipped by I felt the pressing need to cry
但日子总在重压之下流走 [00:19.890]And I quickly understood exactly why they'd had to lie
才明白他们为什么撒谎 [00:26.880]In the daylight I could cope, because the sun seemed full of hope
在阳光带来的希望之下我还可以勉强对付白天 [00:30.850]I laughed enough for two grown men and learnt I could tell jokes
笑够了成人也学会了开玩笑 [00:34.710]But sadness has a subtle face and then it came to gloat
但悲伤却在幸灾乐祸中隐现 [00:38.720]We heard about the girl and boy hung by their skipping rope
男女因感情羁绊在一起 [00:45.490]Isn't it too hard to conceive
这岂不是很难想像 [00:49.230]Doesn't it bring you to your knees?
难道没有带来过失望吗 [00:53.790]And all I want to do
我只想 [00:57.750]is to float with the river so free.
随着河流自由漂泊 [01:03.350]Now, fear is not a gentle thing although it has no fists
恐惧总是冷峻地与你对峙 [01:07.670]It crawls down from your thoughts and ties you by your skinny wrists
它占据你的思想、缚住你孱弱的身躯 [01:11.680]Death will take your lips from you so that you cannot kiss
死亡夺走你的朱唇让你不能亲吻 [01:15.550]But fear will leave you screaming out for all the love you'll miss
恐惧则让你嘶喊出心中所爱 [01:22.590]And I had a friend who thought he knew exactly where he stood
我一朋友自认为知道他在哪 [01:26.610]A place in heaven's safe for him as long as he did good
只要表现卓著便获得如天堂般的安宁 [01:30.570]But life and love ran through his veins and opened up his mind
但生活与爱穿透他的血脉 扯碎他的思绪 [01:34.550]Now he's got his gun but a new terror sings at night
他拿起武器 新的恐惧却悄然升起 [01:41.320]Isn't it too hard to conceive
难以想像 [01:45.240]Doesn't it bring you to your knees
他带来的失望 [01:49.410]And all I want to do is to float with the river so free
而我只想随河流自由漂泊 [01:59.400]And Larkin is the master in this poetry of fear
拉金是恐惧诗词的大师 [02:03.430]But he could never capture what cried darkly in his ears
却从未捕获音乐深处的哀痛 [02:07.390]And he would understand that though I wrote these words to sing
他能理解我的歌唱 [02:11.320]These petty verses cannot hope to tell you anything
这些小诗韵不会给你带来什么 [02:18.100]Isn't it too hard to conceive
难以想像 [02:22.020]Doesn't it bring you to your knees
他带来的失望 [02:26.190]And all I want to do is to float with the river so free
而我 只想随河流自由漂泊 [02:36.190]So everyday I'll stop these thoughts before they'll take a hold
我想停止这些想法并掌控他们 [02:40.260]Lying in my bed pretending that I won't grow old
赖在床上 假装永远不会长大 [02:44.280]And maybe when I'm 84 I'll sit and sing this song
等我老去 我仍会哼唱这首歌 [02:48.300]Just hope that if I do then this fear is dead and gone
只望那时恐惧已远去 [02:55.020]Isn't it too hard to conceive
难以想像 [02:59.000]Doesn't it bring you to your knees
他带来的失望 [03:03.160]And all I want to do is to float with the river so free
而我只想随河流自由漂泊 [03:03.890]And all I want to do is to float with the river so free
随河流自由漂泊 [03:11.590]Isn't it too hard to conceive
难以想像 [03:15.000]Doesn't it bring you to your knees
他 带来的失望 [03:27.590]Is to float with the river so free
而我只想随河流自由漂泊 [03:31.540]Is to float with the river so free
随河流自由漂泊
