I Thought I Was a Child
Jackson Browne
I Thought I Was a Child 歌词
It's such a clever innocence
你施展着你的魔法
with which you do your sorcery
带着如此狡黠的纯真
As if somehow the years just bow
仿佛在小女孩的面前
and let that young girl go free
时间也已退却
I thought I was a child
我以为我是个小孩
until you turned and smiled
直到你微笑着出现
I thought I knew where I was going
我以为这旅途曾有方向
until I heard your laughter flowing
直到听见你的笑声流淌
And came upon the wisdom in your eyes
双眼射出智慧的目光
Surprise--
如此惊喜
I've spent my whole life running 'round
我的一生都在四处流浪,追逐着歌谣
Chasing songs from town to town
在通往下一个小镇的路上
Thinking I'd be free so long
以为我会永远自由
as I never let love slow me down
只要告别那位花房的姑娘
So lonely and so wild
孤独又疯狂
until you turned and smiled
直到你微笑着出现
By now I should have long been gone
我本应该现在就逃走
But here I am still looking on
可又无法控制自己的目光
As if I didn't know which way to run
无处逃遁
It's such a clever innocence
带着如此狡黠的纯真
with which you show myself to me
你向我展现出自己
As if you know how it feels
仿佛你清楚地知道那是什么感觉
to never be who you wanted to be
无法成为自己想成为的样子
I thought I was a child
我以为我是个小孩
until you turned and smiled
直到你微笑着出现
I thought that I was free
我曾以为我无拘无束
but I'm just one more prisoner of time
可我只是又一个时间的囚徒
Alone within the boundaries of my mind
困在自我思想的牢笼里
I thought I was a child
我以为我只是个小孩
