Plastic Flowers (Solo)

Plastic Flowers - Neil Young

在那夏日時光我們一同見證危機來臨

它會傷及我們所愛的一切
In the summertime, we met to see a threat
隨著時光流逝我們爭論不休
That came to harm something we both loved
最終迎來分手那一刻
And as the hours past, we talked until at last
我也算善始善終我自以為她喜歡我這一號
It came the time to part
自然不會想太多

但至少度過了漫長的時光
I was doing well, and I though she liked my style
我已一一兌現了承諾但在天父到來之前
I had no business thinking like that
我把一束塑料花獻給了大地的女兒
But it lasted quite a while
她手捧花瓶迷離的眼神讓這些花煥發活力
I got my promises made, but before the timeless father
我目瞪口呆她轉向我眼中含淚
I show plastic flowers to Mother Nature's daughter
我們互致謝意漫步在河岸邊

望著水面汩汩流動
She held a vase, her misty gaze brought them to life
她抓了一把河中的沙粒緊緊握在手中
I was amazed, she turned to me with a tear in her eye
即興唱起了歌

我們望著水位線從古至今一直都在
We went to give our thanks, along the river banks
我看到沙子從她指間簌簌滾落
And watched the water flow as it rolled along
滾落在這乾枯的岸邊
She scooped some river sand and held it in her hand
我也算善始善終我自以為她喜歡我這一號
And sang a little song
自然不會想太多

但至少度過了漫長的時光
We saw the water lines, left there from ancient times
我已一一兌現了承諾但在天父到來之前
I watch the sand falling through her fingers
我把一束塑料花獻給了大地的女兒
On the shore so dry

I was doing well, and I though she liked my style
I had no business feeling like that
But it lasted quite a while
I got my promises made, but before the timeless father
I show plastic flowers to Mother Nature's daughter
