寧願有夢

LYRICS

When I was six years old I broke my leg

那年我只有六歲，摔斷了腿

I was running from my brother and his friends

那時我在逃離我的哥哥和他的朋友

Tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down

從山丘上滾下來，嘗過了青草的香甜

I was younger then, take me back to when I

當年我還年輕，現在請帶我回到

Found my heart and broke it here

第一次找到了愛，又打破了它的此地

Made friends and lost them through the years

交了朋友，又隨時間變改而錯失了他們

And I’ve not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know, I’ve grown

久遺了這個年少時狂歡之地，我便感嘆，我長大了

But I can’t wait to go home

但我無法放下對家鄉的思念

I’m on my way, driving at 90 down those country lanes

在回家路上，以時速90公里在郊區小道上飛馳

Singing to Tiny Dancer

哼唱著Tiny Dancer

And I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real

懷念著妳帶給我的溫馨感覺，皆為真情實意

When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

我們一起欣賞日落，靜坐在那山丘上的城堡

Fifteen years old and smoking hand rolled cigarettes

十五歲已經學會吸食手卷香煙

Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends

逃離警察追捕，和朋友把酒言歡

Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don’t reckon I did it right

在周五夜獻出初吻，我也不知道我是否吻對了

I was younger then, take me back to when we found

當年我還年輕，現在請帶我回到

Weekend jobs when we got paid

第一次找到兼職，第一次領薪

We’d buy cheap spirits and drink them straight

我們買了廉價烈酒，一飲而盡

Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we’ve grown

我和朋友們已有好一段時間沒有因酒而吐，似乎我們長大了

I can’t wait to go home

此刻我只想飛奔至家

I’m on my way, driving at 90 down those country lanes

在回家路上，以時速90公里在郊區小道上飛馳

Singing to Tiny Dancer

哼唱著Tiny Dancer

And I miss the way you make me feel, it’s real

回憶著妳給我甜蜜的感覺，確切和難忘

When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

我們沉淪於日落之美，在那山丘上的城堡

Over the castle on the hill

那難以忘懷的城堡

Over the castle on the hill

充滿動人回憶之山丘

Over the castle on the hill

我們成長的地方

One friend left to sell clothes

有位朋友離鄉去賣衣服

One works down by the coast

有位朋友在海岸工作

One had two kids but lives alone

有位養著兩個小孩卻是單身

One’s brother overdosed

有朋友的兄弟服藥過量而死亡

Ones already on his second wife

有的朋友已經結了兩次婚

Ones just barely getting by

有的朋友生活坎坷

But these people raised me

但這些人曾伴我成長

And I can’t wait to go home

想到這裡，我急不及待回到家鄉

And I’m on my way, and I still remember these old country lanes

飛馳在回家路上，仍然記得這些老舊小道的蜿蜒

When we did not know the answers

當我們迷惘困惑

And I miss the way you make me feel, it’s real

我仍眷戀妳帶給我的感覺，最真摯之情

When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

我們陶醉在暮輝之中，從那山丘上的城堡

Over the castle on the hill

難以忘懷的昔日

Over the castle on the hill

我們成長的地方
