Mermaid Smiled (Remastered 2001) 歌詞
From pools of xylophone clear
從木琴池裡
From caves of memory
從記憶的洞穴中
I saw the children at heart
我從心底里看到了孩子們
That we once used to be
那就是我們曾經的樣子
Borne on foaming seahorse herd
生於泡沫四溢的海馬群
Compose with trumpeting shell
用吹號的貝殼組成
From lines across their hands
從他們手上的線
A song as new as new moon
一首歌像新月一般新
As old as all the sands
像沙灘一樣老
Shrank to stagnant from Atlantic wild
從大西洋荒地萎縮到停滯
Lost that child 'til mermaid
失去了童真,直到美人魚
Smiled
微笑
Summoned by drum rolling surf
被海浪拍打的鼓聲召喚
As laughing fish compel
笑著的魚
The young boy woken in me
迫使我內心的小男孩甦醒了
By clanging diving bell
通過敲響潛水鐘
Breakers pillow fight the shore
浪花猛擊海岸
She wriggles free in the tide
她在海浪中自由舒展
I'm locked in adult land
我被禁錮在成年人的岸
Back in the mirror she slides
她滑回到鏡子裡
Waving with comb in hand
手中揮舞著梳子
I was lucky to remain beguiled
我很慶幸能夠沉醉其中
Grown to child since mermaid
重回童年,因為美人魚
Smiled
微笑了
