Village Green

Out in the country,
在鄉下
Far from all the soot and noise of the city,
遠離所有煙塵和噪音的城市
Theres a village green.
有一個綠色村莊
Its been a long time

Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple

Down by the village green.

Twas there I met a girl called Daisy
在那兒我遇見一個叫黛西的姑娘
And kissed her by the old oak tree.
並在老橡樹旁親吻了她
Although I loved my Daisy,I saw fame,
儘管我愛黛西卻被名望所誘惑
And so I left the village green.

And all the simple people.

And now all the houses
