Garden Song
John Denver
Garden Song 歌詞
Inch by inch, row by row
寸復一寸,行複一行
Gonna make this garden grow
要讓這個花園成長
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
而這一切只要一耙一鋤
And a piece of fertile ground
和一塊肥沃的土地
Inch by inch, row by row
寸復一寸,行複一行
Someone bless these seeds I sow
生者為我播下的種子祈福
Someone warm them from below
逝者從土地下面溫暖它們
Till the rain comes tumblin down
直到甘霖如期降臨
Pullin ****s and pickin stones
拔除雜草,揀起石頭
Man is made of dreams and bones
人是由夢想和骨頭組成
Feel the need to grow my own
我發覺需要讓自己成長
Cause the time is close at hand
因為很快我就要擔起責任
Rainful rain, sun and rain
綿綿細雨燦爛千陽
Find my way in natures chain
在自然法則中找到自己的生活
Tune my body and my brain
調整我的身軀,我的頭腦
To the music from the land
感受來自土地的音樂
Plant your rows straight and long
長長地直直地一行行播種
Temper them with prayer and song
用祈禱和唱頌使它們和諧
Mother Earth will make you strong
地球母親讓你們逐漸成長
If you give her love and care
如果你給予她的愛與關懷
Old crow watchin hungrily
老烏鴉在飢腸轆轆地望著
From his perch in yonder tree
從它所棲息的遠方的樹上
In my garden Im as free
在我的花園裡,我自由自在
As that feathered thief up there
就像那如插雙翼的小偷一樣
Inch by inch, row by row
寸復一寸,行複一行
Gonna make this garden grow
要讓這個花園成長
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
而這一切只要一耙一鋤
And a piece of fertile ground
和一塊肥沃的土地
An inch by inch , row by row
寸復一寸,行複一行
Someone bless these seeds I sow
生者為我播下的種子祈福
Someone warm them from below
逝者從土地下面溫暖它們
Till the rain comes tumblin down
直到甘霖如期降臨
