Joni Mitchell – The Circle Game Lyrics
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
昨日 一個孩子來到世上漫遊
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
捕一隻蜻蜓 裝在廣口瓶中
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
天空的雷聲隆隆 使他感到恐懼
And tearful at the falling of a star
而流星的殞落 則使他泫然欲泣

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
然後這個孩子 度過了十個寒與暑
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
滑過了十次清澈的 結冰的溪流
Words like, when you're older, must appease him
「等你長大些」之類的話 一定使他感到滿意
And promises of someday make his dreams
而未來的期望 組成了他的夢想
And the seasons they go round and round
季節不停地轉換再轉換
And the painted ponies go up and down
五彩繽紛的木馬 上下起伏
We're captive on the carousel of time
我們被困在時光的旋轉木馬上
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
我們不能回去 只能回首眺望來時的路
And go round and round and round
繼續不停的 不停的往前轉了又轉
In the circle game
在這圈圈的遊戲裡

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
如今十六個春天 十六個夏季已經過去
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
穿梭在鎮上的 已經從馬車變成了汽車
And they tell him,
Take your time, it won't be long now
而人們則告訴他 慢慢來 那一天很快就會到來
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
你會拖著你的腳步 減緩圈圈轉動的速度
And the seasons they go round and round
季節不停地轉換再轉換
And the painted ponies go up and down
五彩繽紛的木馬 上下起伏
We're captive on the carousel of time
我們被困在時光的旋轉木馬上

We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
我們不能回去 只能回首眺望來時的路
And go round and round and round
繼續不停的 不停的往前轉了又轉
In the circle game
在這圈圈的遊戲裡

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
歲月就這樣流去 而今這個男孩已經二十
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
雖然他的夢想 在實現的過程中失去了些許的顏色
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
但是在那輪迴的最後一年轉完之前
Before the last revolving year is through
他還會有更新 甚至更好、更多的夢想出現

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
