第17章 这是我的歌

天为什么这么蓝?

星为什么这么亮?

心儿为什么这么欢愉?

这是因为我遇到了你?

为了我们的幸福欢笑,

花儿在尽情开放,

开放得如此美丽,

为了世界上的我和你。

整个世界都在欢笑,

笑得如此开心,

听那古老的故事,

永远在世上传递。

亲爱的,这是我的歌,

是我献给你的小夜曲。

如果有了你,

这世界会更美丽。

我不管世人怎么说,

没有你这生活就无法过。

爱是我的歌,

是我献给你的小夜曲。

我不管世人怎么说,

没有你这生活就无法过。

爱是我的歌,

是我献给你的小夜曲。

Green Fields

Once there were green fields kissed by the sun,

Once there were valleys where rivers used to run,

Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above,

Once there were part of an everlasting love,

We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.

Green fields are gone now parched by the sun,

Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run,

Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart,

Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart,

Where are the green fields that we used to roam?

I‘ll never know what made you run away,

How can I keep searchin’

When dark clouds hide the day?

I only know there‘s nothing here for me,

Nothing in this wide world left for me to see.

But I’ll keep on waiting‘till you return,

I’ll keep on waiting until the day you learn.

You can‘t be happy while your heart’s on the roam,

You can‘t be happy until you bring it home.

Home to the green fields and me once again.
