音乐咖啡厅:Days On My Past《过去的日子》英文版童年(在线收听

罗大佑那首广为传唱的《童年》的英文版:回到那懵懂童年,会和邻居家的孩子在小小的游戏里一争高下;回到那青涩过往,烛光晚会、海边沙滩就这样送出了自己的初吻;回到那刚出茅庐的岁月,初尝生活的艰辛,爸爸告诫说慢慢来……直到有了自己的小家、有了孩子,“多么想念我的家乡,多么想念那过去的日子”,可这一切已经过去了……相同的旋律,不同的语言,别有一番风味,很亲切的。

英文歌词
I recall when I was young. Oh I will play and always having fun
With the neighbours next to me and we'll play until the setting sun
Try to be the best among the others in a game call the "spider battle"
It doesn't matter who is the best now. Those were the days of my past

A few years later when I got to school and was late for lesson all the time
Always day dreaming in the class, till I don't even know the lesson's done
Then my teacher always tell me never ever be lazy again
What can I do now? What can I say now? Those were the days of my past

As the days go on and on I grew up and had my first love
Candel light and sandy beach finally give away my first kiss
Mother said I was too young to fall in love and then I will one day regret
So love was over, but I do miss her. Those were the days of my past

Just when I left my high school and got my first job as salesmen
Working hard all day and night. No one there to lend a helping hand
Dady told me not to worry and said that l should go on step by step
What can I say now? What can I do now? Those were the days of my past

Then once day I settled down with the only one I really love
Got a small family with two kids that is what I'm always hoping for
But I still remember having fun with all my friends when I was young
I miss my home town. I miss my old friends, those the days of my past
Oh I miss my home town I miss my old friends. When will I see them again?

附录:中文原版《童年》歌词

池塘边的榕树上,知了在声声叫着夏天
草丛边的秋千上,只有蝴蝶停在上面

黑板上老师的粉笔,还在拼命叽叽喳喳写个不停
等待着下课,等待着放学,等待游戏的童年

福利社里面什么都有,就是口袋里没有半毛钱
诸葛四郎和魔鬼党,到底谁抢到那支宝剑

隔壁班的那个男孩,怎么还没经过我的窗前
嘴里的历史,手里的漫画,心里初恋的童年

总是要等到睡觉前才知道,功课只做了一点点
总是要等到考试后才知道,该念的书都没有念

一寸光阴一寸金,老师说过寸金难买寸光阴
一天又一天,一年又一年,迷迷糊糊的童年

没有人知道为什么,太阳总下到山的那一边
没有人能够告诉我,山里面有没有住着神仙

多少平日记忆总是一个人,面对着天空发呆
就这么好奇,就这么幻想,这么孤单的童年

阳光下蜻蜓飞过来,一片片绿油油的稻田
水彩蜡笔和万花筒,画不出天边那一条彩虹

什么时候才能像高年级的同学,有张成熟与长大的脸
盼望着假期,盼望着明天,盼望长大的童年
一天又一天,一年又一年,盼望长大的童年
