Текст и перевод песни Cheng Bi - 樹啊樹

樹啊樹

人一旦活久了些
因為記憶的緣故
某些詞彙就變得
變得不再那麼單純

小時候看樹就是樹
爬上面 迎風
麥浪滾滾俯瞰
俯瞰整個華北平原

可惜啊 時間啊
漸漸被成長佔據
耐心啊 變沒有
路過匆匆一瞥

後來有一位戀人
不經意慢慢出現
聲音渾厚 明朗歡樂
他的名字叫做樹啊樹

和他走過一段路
和他說過很多話
以為會留住些什麼
卻很快就說了再見

可惜啊 一轉眼
所有都成了記憶
樹啊樹 站在那
什麼都沒有變化

很多年 過去了
我們也都老去
樹啊樹 還在那
似乎歲月未經過

Tree Oh Tree

My eternity is encrusted
Within the amber of memory
Where certain words have decayed
And taken on a diseased complexity

As a child a tree was just a tree
Whose limbs carried me into the breeze
Where the wind orchestrated the wheat
And the North China Plain rippled beneath my feet

But time and its horrors
Have exacted their cost
And I now lack the patience
For anything less than a gallop past

Then came a lover
Whose sonorous voice
Filled me with laughter and joy
For his name was Tree Oh Tree

Our paths intertwined
And our words were uncounted
I thought our bond was unbreakable
Yet too soon it unraveled and frayed

The years have passed so quickly
And everything has become a memory
Tree Oh Tree remains the same
As though time’s passage has had no sway

The years have aged us
But Tree Oh Tree remains unchanged
It stands impervious
To the years that have ravaged our bodies and brains
