seven

Please picture me In the trees
请将我涂绘于丰茂丛林间
I hit my peak at seven feet
年仅七岁 而我将秋千荡向最高处
In the swing Over the creek
双脚于溪涧之上来回摆荡
I was too scared to jump in but I, I was high
我畏惧纵身腾起 但我却已
In the sky
跃入苍穹之上
With Pennsylvania under me Are there still beautiful things?
倘若我俯瞰宾夕法尼亚州 是否美景依旧

盛夏时节 甘甜醇美的茶
Sweet tea in the summer
内心发誓不再告知他人 即便你的面孔于我脑海已模糊
Cross your heart, won’t tell no other And though I can’t recall your face
我仍然全心深爱于你
I still got love for you
你发髻犹如特殊图案卷曲
Your braids like a pattern
我对你的爱穿梭于银河日月间 犹如民谣悠扬传颂
Love you to the moon and to Saturn Passed down like folk songs
这份爱绵延不绝 永恒亘古
The love lasts so long
我内心欲向你吐露 我认为你的房屋被魂灵纠缠

原因或许是因为你的父亲总是勃然大怒
And I’ve been meaning to tell you I think your house is haunted
我认为 你应该携手我们前往此地 来扮演海盗角色
Your dad is always mad and that must be why
这样你也不会躲避在壁橱里 黯然神伤地抽泣
And I think you should come live with me and we can be pirates
犹如民谣悠扬传颂
Then you won’t have to cry Or hide in the closet
我们的爱也将永远流传
And just like a folk song
请将我涂绘于丛生荒草间
Our love will be passed on
在我习得仪礼前 我曾经总是发出刺耳尖叫

无论何时 只要我想
Please picture me In the weeds
盛夏时节 甘甜醇美的茶
Before I learned civility I used to scream Ferociously
内心发誓不再告知他人 即便你的面孔于我脑海已模糊 我仍然全心深爱于你
Any time I wanted
捡拾好你的玩偶以及毛线衫

我们将永远移居印度 犹如民谣悠扬传颂 我们的爱也将绵延不绝 永恒亘古
Sweet tea in the summer
Cross my heart, won’t tell no other And though I can’t recall your face I still got love for you
Pack your dolls and a sweater
We’ll move to India forever Passed down like folk songs Our love lasts so long
