Paradise - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When I was a child my family would travel
童年时光里 常随家人远行
Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born
前往肯塔基西部 父母的故乡
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
那座古老的小镇总被追忆
So many times that my memories are worn
记忆反复摩挲 已渐渐模糊
And daddy won't to take you back to muhlenberg county
父亲曾想带你回穆伦伯格郡
Down by the green river where paradise lay
去往格林河畔 那片天堂乐土
Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
孩子啊很遗憾 你问得太迟
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
皮博迪的煤车 早已将它带走
Well sometimes we'd travel right down the green river
我们曾沿着碧波荡漾的格林河顺流而下
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrienne hill
来到阿德里安山脚下废弃的旧监狱旁
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
空气中弥漫着蛇腥味 我们举着手枪射击
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
却只打碎几个空汽水瓶当作消遣
And daddy won't you take me back to muhlenberg county
爸爸 带我回穆伦伯格县吧
Down by the green river where paradise lay
去往格林河畔 那片天堂乐土
Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
孩子啊很遗憾 你问得太迟
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
皮博迪的煤车 早已将它带走
And the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
煤炭公司带着巨型铲车轰然而至
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
他们摧残森林 将大地剥蚀殆尽
Well they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
疯狂采掘直至土地满目疮痍
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
却将这一切都标榜为人类进步
And daddy won't you take me back to muhlenberg county
爸爸 带我回穆伦伯格县吧
Down by the green river where paradise lay
去往格林河畔 那片天堂乐土
Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
孩子啊很遗憾 你问得太迟
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
皮博迪的煤车 早已将它带走
And daddy won't you take me back to muhlenberg county
爸爸 带我回穆伦伯格县吧
Down by the green river where paradise lay
去往格林河畔 那片天堂乐土
Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
孩子啊很遗憾 你问得太迟
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
皮博迪的煤车 早已将它带走
