土仔DD事

上星期在電台節目玩玩星期天聽到一個小朋友唱這首歌，
雖然不是唱得很好，但感覺卻很好。
他說這是他跟爸爸聽得多而學懂的。
這首歌有夠舊了！1970年的作品！！

剛剛又在Uncle Ray的節目中響起同樣的歌，
這首歌確實不錯，老歌就是老歌！
邊聽邊留意歌詞實在不錯！ ^^~

The Circle Game by Joni Mitchell

Yesterday a child came out to wonder,
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar.
Fearful when the sky is full of thunder,
And tearful at the falling of a star.

* And the seasons, they go round and round,
　And the painted ponies go up and down.
　We’re captive on the carousel of time.
　We can’t return, we can only look behind from where we came,
　And go round and round and round in the circle game. *

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons,
Skated over ten clear frozen streams.
Words like “when you’re older” must appease him,
And promises of someday make his dreams.

Repeat *

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now,
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town.
And they tell him, “Take your time, it won’t be long now,
Till you drag your feet to slow the circle down.”

Repeat *

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty,
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true.
There’ll be new dreams, maybe better dreams, and plenty.
Before the last revolving year is through.

Repeat *
