Beneath the Old Oak Tree
作词:时刻爱生活
作曲:时刻爱生活
Sunlight dappled through the leaves a giant friend to me (阳光透过树叶斑驳洒落像位巨人朋友陪伴着我)
That old oak stood so tall and proud my own world's canopy (那棵老橡树立得高大骄傲是我小小世界的穹顶)
I'd trace the bark with little hands secrets safe to keep (我用小手轻抚树皮纹路将秘密妥帖收藏)
Dreamt of dragons castles grand while the world was fast asleep (在世界沉沉睡去时梦见巨龙与宏伟城堡)
Paper planes against the blue launched with hopeful glee (纸飞机冲向蓝天载着满心欢喜与期待)
Scuffed up knees and muddy shoes wild and fancy-free (膝盖蹭出伤痕鞋子沾满泥土自在又狂野)
That tire swing my pirate ship sailed on summer breeze (那轮胎秋千是我的海盗船在夏日微风中远航)
King of all I surveyed beneath those rustling trees (在沙沙作响的树下我是自己王国的国王)
Ooh the seasons turn the leaves let go time's a river running free (哦季节流转树叶飘落时光如河流自由奔淌)
Ooh whispered tales the wind does know beneath the old oak tree (哦风知晓的低语故事都藏在老橡树下)
Little hands reaching high touching clouds it seemed to me (小手高高举起仿佛能触到云端在我记忆里)
Oh how the years go flying by beneath the old oak tree (哦岁月如何飞逝而过……在老橡树下)
Autumn came with fire hues a blanket on the ground (秋天带着火焰般的色彩为大地铺上层毯子)
We raked up piles jumped right in laughter was the sound (我们堆起落叶纵身跃入笑声满溢)
Winter sketched its frosty lace on every naked limb (冬天在光秃的枝桠上勾勒出霜花蕾丝)
I'd press my nose against the glass waiting for spring's sweet hymn (我把鼻尖贴在玻璃上等待春天的甜美颂歌)
First kiss stolen shy and quick right there by that trunk (就在那树干旁偷来青涩仓促的初吻)
Promises made fragile and thick as teenage hearts were sunk (许下的诺言脆弱又浓烈少年心事沉沉)
Then packed the car waved goodbye chasing roads unknown (后来打包行李上车挥手告别奔向未知前路)
Looked back once with a heavy sigh feeling far from home (回头望了一眼轻叹一声满心漂泊)
Ooh the seasons turn the leaves let go time's a river running free (哦季节流转树叶飘落时光如河流自由奔淌)
Ooh whispered tales the wind does know beneath the old oak tree (哦风知晓的低语故事都藏在老橡树下)
Little hands reaching high touching clouds it seemed to me (小手高高举起仿佛能触到云端在我记忆里)
Oh how the years go flying by beneath the old oak tree (哦岁月如何飞逝而过……在老橡树下)
(Shh-shh shh-shh)(沙沙沙沙)
Years rolled on like tumbleweeds cities concrete steel (岁月如滚草般流逝城市、水泥、钢铁围拢)
That childhood magic fades and bleeds feels hard now to feel (童年的魔力渐渐褪色消散如今难以感受到)
Got the job the house the name ticking boxes fine (有了工作、房子、身份按部就班完成生活)
But sometimes whispers call my name down that old dirt line (可有时低语会唤我的名字……沿着那条旧土路)
What's it worth this hurried race What was left behind(这场匆忙的追逐有何意义?遗失了什么在过往?)
Is there still a sacred space living in my mind(我心里是否还藏着一块圣地……不曾遗忘?)
Ooh the seasons turn the leaves let go time's a river running free (哦季节流转树叶飘落时光如河流自由奔淌)
Ooh whispered tales the wind does know beneath the old oak tree (哦风知晓的低语故事都藏在老橡树下)
Little hands reaching high touching clouds it seemed to me (小手高高举起仿佛能触到云端在我记忆里)
Oh how the years go flying by beneath the old oak tree (哦岁月如何飞逝而过……在老橡树下)
