The Old Diamond
Back when I was just a barefoot child, chasing dust down a country mile.
还记得我还是个赤脚孩童,追着尘土,跑过乡间那长长的一段路。
They used to stand that summer night like a dream I couldn't quite define.
那些夏夜的画面静静伫立,像一场我难以言明的梦境。
Old town talk when you walk by like the sun that dropped from the sky.
你走过时,小镇便为之低语,你如同从天而降的太阳。
Boys would stare and men would lose their way.
少年为你驻足凝望,成年人为你迷失方向。
You were beauty in its purest form.
你是最纯粹无瑕的美好。
Didn't know then what it all meant, just knew you were heaven sent.
那时我不懂这一切意味着什么,只知道你是天赐的礼物。
You were the only one shining bright.
你是世间唯一耀眼的光芒。
Even time couldn't steal your light.
就连岁月也偷不走你的光芒。
Through the years and the lines, it's true.
历经岁月流转与皱纹爬上脸庞,的确如此。
I still see the best in you.
我依旧能看见你最美好的模样。
They might say that the shine is faded, but they never saw what I did.
他们或许说你的光彩已褪去,可他们从未见过我眼中的你。
'Cause some things don't lose their glow, they just turn into something more.
因为有些事物不会黯淡无光,只会沉淀成更动人的模样。
I see you on the porch in the dust,
我看见你在尘土中的门廊旁,
silver in your hair, hands warm from trust.
发丝已染银霜,双手因真诚而温暖。
I still carry that same old fire, just a little softer, a little wiser.
我心中依旧怀揣着当年的热忱,只是多了几分温柔,几分从容。
You smile when you saw me there.
你看见我时,露出了笑容。
Like you knew I still care.
仿佛你早已知道,我依旧在乎。
Said you've grown into a man just fine, but I still saw you frozen in time.
你说我已然长成顶天立地的男子汉,可我眼中的你,依旧定格在当年。
World moves on, but something stay, in a heart that won't fade away.
世界不停向前,可有些东西始终留存,在心底永不褪色。
You're still that diamond in my eyes, no matter how all the years go by.
在我眼中,你依旧是那颗钻石,任凭岁月如何流转。
They can count the wrinkles, count the days,
他们可以细数皱纹,细数流年,
but they can't take what never changed.
却带不走那些从未改变的东西。
You are more than a passing flame, more than just a pretty name.
你不只是转瞬即逝的火焰,也不只是一个动听的名字。
Some beauty don't come and go, it just runs deeper than we know.
有些美好不会转瞬即逝,它扎根心底,远比我们所知更加深沉。
Funny how the world forgets what the heart still won't neglect.
可笑的是,世人早已淡忘,可内心却始终无法放下。
They chase gold that fades too fast. Miss the ones that truly last.
人们追逐转瞬即逝的浮华,却错过了真正永恒的美好。
Still you're that old diamond strong and true.
你依旧如那颗历经岁月的钻石,坚定而真挚。
Time just carved the best in you.
时光只雕琢出你最好的模样。
And if they don't see what I still see, this is more about them than me.
倘若他们看不见我眼中的你,那便是他们与我的差距。
'Cause I remember who you are, and I see you clearer now.
因为我记得你最初的模样,如今也比以往看得更加清晰。
Some lights don't burn out with age, they just learn to glow somehow.
有些光芒不会随岁月熄灭,反而会学着以另一种方式闪耀。
Sun went down, but you still shine.
太阳已然西沉,可你依旧闪耀。
Like a memory locked in time.
如同一段定格在时光里的回忆。
To me, you'll always be that old diamond I still see.
对我而言,你永远是,我心中那颗永不褪色的钻石。
