Old Friends, Bookends Theme

Old friends, old friends
老朋友老朋友
Sat on their park bench like bookends
鎮紙般靜棲在公園的長椅
A newspaper blown through the grass
一張報紙掠過草坪
Falls on the round toes
落在他們
Of the high shoes of the old friends
高靴子的圓尖上
Old friends, winter companions, the old men
老朋友，冬日里的伙伴垂暮之人
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sun
迷茫地包裹在大衣裡等待著太陽

The sounds of the city sifting through trees
城市的喧囂穿過樹林
Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends
如塵埃般飄落在老朋友的肩上

Can you imagine us years from today?
多年前你曾想像過今天嗎
Sharing a park bench quietly
我們靜靜地同坐一張長椅
How terribly strange to be seventy70
年是多麼驚人的改變
Old friends, memory brushes the same years
老朋友，記憶沖蝕盡同樣綿長的歲月
Silently sharing the same fears
靜默的分擔同樣的恐懼

Time it was and what a time it was, it was
時光啊時光韶華如水般

A time of innocence, a time of confidences
純真無邪的時光滿懷信心的時光

Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
定是很久以前了我有一張相片
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you
留存著對你的回憶那是關乎你留下的全部回憶
