Written by:Shel Silverstein
A long time ago when the Earth was green
很久以前,当地球还是一片绿意盎然
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
动物种类繁多,超乎你的想象
And they'd run around free when the Earth was being born
它们自由奔跑,在地球初生之时
And the loveliest of 'em all was the unicorn
而其中最美丽的,便是那独角兽
There was green alligators and long necked geese
有绿色的鳄鱼和长颈的鹅
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
有驼背的骆驼和活泼的猩猩
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
有猫、老鼠和大象,但毫无疑问
The loveliest of all was the unicorn
最美丽的依然是那独角兽
Well God seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain
上帝目睹罪恶 心中充满痛苦
And he said stand back I'm going to make it rain
他说退后 我要让大雨倾盆
He said hey brother Noah I'll tell you what to do
他对诺亚说 兄弟 我来告诉你该怎么做
Build me a floating zoo
为我建造一座漂浮的动物园
And take some of them
带上一些
Green alligators and long necked geese
绿色的鳄鱼和长颈鹅
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
有驼背的骆驼和活泼的猩猩
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
有猫、老鼠和大象,但毫无疑问
Don't you forget my unicorns
请不要忘记我的独角兽
Old Noah was there to answer the call
老诺亚响应了召唤
He finished makin' the ark just as the rain started to fallin'
他刚造好方舟,雨就开始倾盆而下
He marched in the animals two by two
他让动物们成双成对地进入
And he sung out as they went through
当它们通过时,他高声唱道
Hey Lord
嘿,主啊
I got your green alligators and long necked geese
我带来了绿色的鳄鱼和长颈鹅
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
有驼背的骆驼和活泼的猩猩
Some cats and rats and elephants but Lord I'm so forlorn
有些猫、老鼠和大象,但主啊,我感到如此凄凉
I just can't see no unicorns
我就是看不到独角兽
There Noah looked out through the driving rain
诺亚透过倾盆大雨向外望去
The unicorns were hiding playing sally games
独角兽们躲藏着,玩着捉迷藏的游戏
Kickin' and splashin' while the rain was pourin'
在雨中踢水花,溅起水花
Oh the sally unicorns
哦,那些顽皮的独角兽
There was green alligators and long necked geese
有绿色的鳄鱼和长颈的鹅
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
有驼背的骆驼和活泼的猩猩
Noah cried close the door 'cause the rain is pourin'
诺亚喊着关上门,因为大雨倾盆而下
And we just cannot wait for no unicorn
我们不能再等待独角兽了
The ark started moving and it drifted with the tide
方舟开始移动,随潮水漂流
And the unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
独角兽从岩石上抬头,泪水滑落
And the waters come down and sort of flooded them away
洪水席卷而来,将它们冲走
That's why you never seen a unicorn to this very day
这就是为什么你至今从未见过独角兽
You'll see green alligators and long necked geese
你会看到绿色的鳄鱼和长颈鹅
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
有驼背的骆驼和活泼的猩猩
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
有猫、老鼠和大象,但毫无疑问
You're never gonna see no unicorn
你再也见不到独角兽
