When the World Was Young

It isn't by chance I happen to be
这不是机缘巧合，而是命中注定

林荫道如同巴黎的祝福
A boulevard the toast of Paris
为了逃避噪音或交谈或烟雾

我大笑或喝酒或与周围的人开玩笑
For over the noise the talk and the smoke
我走在一个房间里或派对或舞会

有人说，过来坐下吧
I'm good for a laugh a drink or a joke
为Messieur和我俩干杯

但是多少次我陷入回忆
I walk in a room a party or ball
噢，苹果树

清风中的盛放
Come sit over here somebody will call
我们并肩而行

我们躺在干草垛上
A drink for Messieur a drink for us all
昔日令我们眷恋的游戏

伴着一首首歌曲反复进行
But how many times I stop and recall
恍如昨日，春水初生

无论我去往何处人们都提及我的名字
Ah the apple trees
在某种程度上说，名字也是荣誉的一部分

来喝一杯吧，我们玩个游戏
Blossoms in the breeze
无论我去哪里都欣然接受

谈话愉快，聚会顺心
That we walked among
笑声，灯光，魅惑，美酒

美丽的女孩们，其中不乏曾与我交欢的
Lying in the hay
然而，异常的光时常闪过眼中

苹果树
Games we used to play
闪光的回忆

吊床兀自荡着
While the rounds were sung
我们只静静躺着

凝视天空
Only yesterday when the world was young
直到如同被线串起的星星们点亮夜空

恍如七月，春林初盛
Wherever I go they mention my name

And that in itself is some sort of fame

Come by for a drink we're having a game

Wherever I go I'm glad that I came

The talk is quite gay the company fine

There's laughter and lights and glamour and wine

And beautiful girls and some of them mine

But often my eyes see a different shine

Ah the apple trees

Sunlit memories

Where the hammock swung

On our backs we'd lie

Looking at the sky

Till the stars were strung

Only last July when the world was young
