The Circle Game

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
昨日那孩童出于好奇
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
在那罐中捉了只蜻蜓
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
漫天雷声时感到恐惧
And tearful at the falling of a star
又含泪看着坠落的星
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
十六载春夏都已逝去
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
轿车轮更替手推车轮遍布城区
And they say take your time
而他们说慢慢来吧
Take your time, it won't be long now
不要急，用不了多久了
Untill you drag your feet to slow the circles down
直到你慢下脚步让这循环渐缓
And the seasons they go round and round
而这四季总在更迭轮回
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
而这彩绘马驹起伏兜圈
Were captive on the carousel of time
被名为时间的旋转木马所限制
We can't return we can only look behind
我们无法归去 我们只能回头看
From where we came
自所来之处回头看
And we go round and round
而我们来回兜着圈
And we go round and round and round
我们来来回回 总在绕圈
In the circle game
就身处于这绕圈游戏中
So the years spin by and now the girl is twenty
于是岁月轮转 如今女孩步入二十
Though her dreams have lost some grandeur
即便她的梦失了些高贵姿态
Coming true
没能宏伟壮丽的成真
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
仍旧会有崭新的梦想，或许更加厉害 数量也不少
Before the last revolving year is through
在那最后的循环年结束以前
And the seasons they go round and round
而这四季总在更迭轮回
And the painted ponies go up and down
而这彩绘马驹起伏兜圈
Were captive on the carousel of time
被名为时间的旋转木马所牵制
We can't return, we can only look behind
我们无法归去 我们只能回头看
From where we came
自所来之处回头看
And we go round and round
而我们来回兜着圈
And we go round and round and round
我们来来回回 总在绕圈
In the circle game
就身处于这绕圈游戏中
And we go round and round
而我们来回兜着圈
And we go round and round
而我们不断兜着圈
And we go round and round
而我们总来回不息
And we go round and round
而我们仍周而复始
And we go
我们还
