Tong Lian - 蔡國權 traduction en anglais

Tong Lian

葉片片 伴空秋千
夏日炎午裏有蜜蜂飛過
沒有我在歡聲高歌
運動場上課鐵閘下了鎖
真可惜先生不會懶惰
放學有數不清的幾套功課
千斤的書包載滿了書籍
童年時就如此經過
合作社食品真多
硬幣財富卻每日得一個
下了課幻想多多
望著牆壁去發夢樂趣多
真可惜初戀心裏對象
每日見她都不敢傾訴清楚
知不知之間載滿了心事
童年時就如此經過
夜已晚就趕緊功課
但爲何每次到夜都抄錯
就似我大考的一天
樣樣題永遠發現做錯咗
惜光陰 爸爸千遍教導
每日我聽他心中衹覺囉嗦
不知匆匆中已到了今日
童年時就如此飄過

話咁快就到了今天
舊陣時我變了今天的我
沒有了童真的心
又突然發覺美夢未有多
想當初仿佛好似昨日
往事我一一心中都記清楚
衹可惜當天太快已消逝
童年時就如此飄過
莫笑我又想起當初
夏日炎午再有蜜蜂飛過
但我也未肯高歌
就像人故意裏面下了鎖
心深中衹想起那故舊
那稚氣種種今天改變得多
匆匆的當天太快已消逝
童年時就如此飄過
匆匆的當天太快已消逝
童年時就如此飄過

Leaves flutter by the empty swing
In the hot summer afternoon, bees buzz by
Without me, the laughter is missing
On the playground, the gate has been locked
It's a shame, the teacher won't be skipping
After school, endless piles of homework await
A heavy backpack, filled with books
That's how my childhood passed by
The co-op has so many snacks
But my daily allowance is only a dime
After class, my mind is filled with dreams
Staring at the walls, lost in imagination
It's a shame, my first crush
Every day I see you, but I can't bring myself to speak
Unbeknownst to me, my heart fills with longing
That's how my childhood passed by
When night falls, it's time to rush through homework
But why do I always make mistakes at night?
It's like the day of my big exam
Every question I get wrong
My father always taught me to cherish time
But every day, I just thought he was nagging
Unknowingly, time has flown by
That's how my childhood slipped away

In the blink of an eye, here I am today
The boy I was is gone
My innocence is lost
And suddenly, I realize my dreams remain unfulfilled
It seems like yesterday
I remember it all so clearly
But it's a shame, it's gone so quickly
That's how my childhood slipped away
Don't laugh, I often think of those days
In the hot summer afternoon, bees still buzz by
But I no longer sing
As if someone has locked me inside
My heart remembers only the past
My childhood innocence has long since changed
Time has flown by, leaving me behind
That's how my childhood slipped away
Time has flown by, leaving me behind
That's how my childhood slipped away
