seven

Please picture me In the trees
請將我塗繪於豐茂叢林間
I hit my peak at seven feet
年僅七歲而我將鞦韆盪向最高處
In the swing Over the creek
雙腳於溪澗之上來回擺盪
I was too scared to jump in but I, I was high
我畏懼縱身騰起但我卻已
In the sky
躍入蒼穹之上
With Pennsylvania under me Are there still beautiful things?
倘若我俯瞰賓夕法尼亞州是否美景依舊

盛夏時節甘甜醇美的茶
Sweet tea in the summer
內心發誓不再告知他人即便你的面孔於我腦海已模糊
Cross your heart, won't tell no other And though I can't recall your face
我仍然全心深愛於你
I still got love for you
你髮髻猶如特殊圖案捲曲
Your braids like a pattern
我對你的愛穿梭於銀河日月間猶如民謠悠揚傳頌
Love you to the moon and to Saturn Passed down like folk songs
這份愛綿延不絕永恆亙古
The love lasts so long
我內心欲向你吐露我認為你的房屋被魂靈糾纏

原因或許是因為你的父親總是勃然大怒
And I've been meaning to tell you I think your house is haunted
我認為你應該攜手我們前往此地來扮演海盜角色
Your dad is always mad and that must be why
這樣你也不會躲避在壁櫥裡黯然神傷地抽泣
And I think you should come live with me and we can be pirates
猶如民謠悠揚傳頌
Then you won't have to cry Or hide in the closet
我們的愛也將永遠流傳
And just like a folk song
請將我塗繪於叢生荒草間
Our love will be passed on
在我習得儀禮前我曾經總是發出刺耳尖叫

無論何時只要我想
Please picture me In the weeds
盛夏時節甘甜醇美的茶
Before I learned civility I used to scream Ferociously
內心發誓不再告知他人即便你的面孔於我腦海已模糊我仍然全心深愛於你
Any time I wanted
撿拾好你的玩偶以及毛線衫

我們將永遠移居印度猶如民謠悠揚傳頌我們的愛也將綿延不絕永恆亙古
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
