Castles Made of Sand

Down the street, you can hear her scream, 'You're a disgrace'
在街上你能聽見她的咆哮，“你真讓我感到羞恥！”
As she slams the door in his drunken face
接著她猛地關上了門回絕了他的一副醉顏
And now he stands outside
現在的他呆站在門外
And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool
領教鄰居們的閒言碎語
He cries, 'Oh girl, you must be mad
他哭喊道，“親愛的，一定有什麼誤會
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?'
我們之間這美麗的愛情到底是怎麼了？”
Against the door he leans and starts a scene
倚靠在門上他開始黯然神傷
And his tears fall and burn on the garden green
他的淚水不停滴落灼傷蒼翠的葉子
And so castles made of sand
於是沙做的城堡啊
Fall in the sea
沉入海裡
Eventually
了無踪跡
A little Indian brave who before he was ten
一個小小的印第安勇士在他不到十歲的時候
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
跟他的伙伴在樹林裡面玩作戰遊戲
And he built a dream that when he grew up
當時的他就夢想著長大成人後
He would be a fierce warrior Indian chief
要成為一名驍勇的印第安戰士將領
Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong
月升月落他的夢想也日漸堅定穩固
Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song
明天他就要唱響他的第一曲戰歌
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong
打響他漂亮的第一戰但是糟糕的事發生了
Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
不曾想突襲就將他在睡夢裡殺死
And so castles made of sand
於是沙做的城堡啊
Melts into the sea
融入海裡
Eventually
瞬息湮滅
There was a young girl whose heart was a frown
那個女孩她的心靈萎縮成一團
Because she was crippled for life, and she couldn't speak a sound
就因她終生殘廢而且發不出一點聲音
And she wished and prayed she could stop living
她祈求早日結束她這委屈的一生
So she decided to die
她決定去死
She drove her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
她搖著輪椅到了岸邊
And to her legs she smiled, 'You won't hurt me no more'
看著她的腿她笑著，“你再也阻礙我不了再也不。”
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
但令她震驚得幾乎躍起的是眼前從未出現過的景象
'Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way'
“看撲搧著金色翅膀的船正從那兒駛過”
And it really didn't ever stop
實際它根本不曾停下來
It just kept on going
而且只會駛向更遠
And so castles made of sand
於是沙做的城堡啊
Slips into the sea
一旦滑入海裡
Eventually
就被吞沒不見
