第10章 Green Fields绿色的田野

Once there were part of an everlasting love,

We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.

Green Fields

songwriter\composer: Unknown

singer:The Brothers Four

Once there were green fields kissed by the sun,

Once there were valleysvalley n.(山)谷, 流域 where rivers used to run,

Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above,

Once there were part of an ever lasting love,

We were the lovers who strolledstroll v.闲逛, 漫步, 跋涉于 through green fields.

永恒的爱情曾与它并存,

我和她曾在这绿色的田野漫步。

绿色的田野

作词\作曲:佚名

演唱: 四兄弟演唱组

阳光的亲吻曾使田野碧绿,

河水的奔流曾使山谷欢乐,

白云曾在高高的蓝天上飘扬,

永恒的爱情曾与它并存,

我和她曾在这绿色的田野漫步。

Green fields are gone now parchedparched adj.炎热的 by the sun,

Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run,

Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart,

Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart,

Where are the green fields that we used to roamroam v.漫游, 闲逛, 徜徉 ?

Ill never know what made you run away,

How can I keep searching

When dark clouds hide the day?

I only know theres nothing here for me,

Nothing in this wide world left for me to see.

碧野被阳光灼烧成焦土,

山谷失去了河流,

冷风刺穿了我的内心,

情人的离去也打碎了我的梦,

我和她曾漫步的绿色田野今在何方?

我不知道什么原因使你离开,

乌云蔽日让我如何寻觅?

我只知道我已无处寻觅,

这个世上已经没有令我留恋的东西了。

But Ill keep on waiting till you return,

Ill keep on waiting until the day you learn.

You cant be happy while your hearts on the roam,

You cant be happy until you bring it home.

Home to the green fields and me once again.

但我会一直等待你的归来,

我会一直等待你的消息。

漂泊的心灵不能使你幸福,

只有回归才能使你快乐。

再次回到我的身边和绿色的田野。

故乡给我们留下的是一段斩不断的情缘,故乡给我们留下的是一段抹不去的记忆。故乡的山,故乡的水,故乡的月,故乡的风,故乡的人,还有故乡的一切一切。

然而,世事沧桑,山河变迁,当眼前已物是人非,当眼前已面目全非,当眼前的一切都已改变,都已不复存在的时候,我们的心头不免苦涩,我们的眼睛不免湿润,我们的喉咙不免哽咽。这时,我们就会低沉缓慢的,满怀思念的,极为伤感的唱起曾经是我们的“绿色的田野”。
