Well in 1941 a happy father had a son
1941年 一位幸福的父亲喜得贵子
And by 1944 the father walked right out the door
1944年 父亲却离家出走再无踪迹
And in '45 the mom and son were still alive
1945年 母子相依为命尚存人间
But who could tell in '46 if the two were to survive
1946年 谁又能知他们能否熬过难关
Well the years were passing quickly
岁月如梭飞逝
But not fast enough for him
对他却漫长难捱
So he close his eyes through '55
1955年 他闭眼逃离现实
And he opened them up again
再度睁眼已是沧海桑田
When he looked around he saw a clown
当他环顾四周 看见一个小丑
And the clown seemed very gay
那小丑看起来快乐无忧
And he set that night to join that circus clown and run away
那晚他决定追随马戏团的小丑 远走他乡
Well he followed every railroad track
他沿着每一条铁路轨道
An every highway sign
循着每一个公路标识
And he had a girl in each new town
在每个新城镇都有个姑娘
And the towns he left behind
而那些城镇 他全都抛在身后
And the open road
漂泊之路
Was the only road he knew
是他唯一熟悉的归途
But the color of his dreams
但梦的色彩
Slowly turning into blue
渐渐褪成忧郁的蓝
The he met a girl the kind of girl
直到遇见那个女孩
He wanted all his life
他一生渴望的模样
She was soft and kind and good to him
她温柔善良待他如初
So he took her for a wife
于是他许她一生相伴
And they got a house not far from town
他们在城郊安了家
And in a little while
没过多久时光
The girl had seen the doctor
姑娘去看医生
And she came home with a smile
回家时笑靥如花
Now in 1961 a happy father had a son
1961年 幸福的父亲迎来麟儿
And by 1964 the father walked right out the door
1964年 父亲却转身离去
And in '65 the mom and son were still around
1965年 母子仍在人世浮沉
But what will happen to the boy
男孩的命运将会如何
When the circus comes to town
当马戏团来到小镇时
