The Circle Game

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
昨日一个孩子无比惊喜
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
只因将一只蜻蜓捕入瓶罐
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
响雷滚滚时瑟瑟发抖
And tearful at the falling of a star
星空璀璨时含泪相望
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
如今十六载春夏已逝
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
人仰马翻直至城镇
And they say take your time
人们只会象征性地说一句慢慢来
Take your time, it won't be long now
别着急，现在那已经淡出视线
Untill you drag your feet to slow the circles down
直至你拖着疲惫的双脚放慢圈速
And the seasons they go round and round
这是个人们缠绵悱恻的季节
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
小马驹欢快的活泼可爱
Were captive on the carousel of time
怀念乘坐旋转木马的时光
We can't return we can only look behind
岁月不待人，只剩细品矣
From where we came
从我们的起点出发
And we go round and round
重蹈覆辙
And we go round and round and round
周而复始
In the circle game
在这个循环游戏里
So the years spin by and now the girl is twenty
因此这些年无法走出来，而现在她已兜转一圈
Though her dreams have lost some grandeur
尽管她的梦想不再熠熠生辉
Coming true
但复得返自然
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
可能更加壮丽雄伟的新梦想即将诞生
Before the last revolving year is through
在最后一个旋转年度之前
And the seasons they go round and round
在这个人们环环相绕的时节
And the painted ponies go up and down
小马驹欢快的活泼可爱
Were captive on the carousel of time
怀念乘坐旋转木马的日子
We can't return, we can only look behind
时节如流只可翘首以望
From where we came
从我们开始的地方
And we go round and round
重蹈覆辙
And we go round and round and round
周而复始
In the circle game
沉迷其中
And we go round and round
重蹈覆辙
And we go round and round
周而复始
And we go round and round
沉湎其中
And we go round and round
无法自拔
And we go
不要救赎
