Plastic Flowers (Solo) - Neil Young
In the summertime,
那个夏日
we met to see a threat
我们都遇见那凶兆
That came to harm
伤害我们都
something we both loved
曾喜爱的一切
And as the hours past,
随着时间的流逝
we talked until at last
我们不停谈论直到最后
It came the time to part
是离别的时候
I was doing well,
我控制得很好
and I though she liked my style
虽然她喜欢我的个性
I had no business thinking like that
但我无暇这样想着什么
But it lasted quite a while
但这在我脑海里存在了很久
I got my promises made,
我许下承诺
but before the time was farther
在那时光远离之前
I show plastic flowers
我向大自然母亲的女儿
to mother nature's daughter
展示那束塑料花
She held a vase,
她举着花瓶
her misty gaze brought them to life
她迷离的眼神让这些花恢复生机
I was amazed,
我很吃惊
she turned to me with a tear in her eye
她转向我眼里却饱含泪水
We went to give our thanks,
我们给予他们我们的感谢
along the river banks
沿着河岸
And watched the water flow
看着端急的水流
as it rolled along
随其一起向前奔涌
She scoops some river sand
她舀了一些河沙
and held it in her hand
捧在手心
And sang a little song
唱了一首歌
We saw the water lines,
我看到那水柱
left there from ancient times
久远之前就已流走
I watch the sand falling through her fingers
我看沙子从她的指间落下
On the shore so dry
在干涸的岸边
I was doing well,
我控制得很好
and I though she liked my style
虽然她喜欢我的个性
I had no business feeling like that
但我无暇这样想着什么
But it lasted quite a while
但这在我脑海里存在了很久
I got my promises made,
我许下承诺
but before the time was farther
在那时光远离之前
I show plastic flowers
我向大自然母亲的女儿
to mother nature's daughter
展示那束塑料花
