十年樹木 - 關楚耀 перевод на английский

十年樹木

放學了便種樹 和它勾一勾尾指
暗地裡陶醉 傻頭小子心生愛意
發誓每日照料 八十歲後也願意
藏泥土的意思 從來不講也知

花燦爛微笑 花也無言飄落了 變改不少
天氣時常轉 風雨和晴天 我緊守了約定 而你厭倦了 早意料

嘀噠 嘀噠 再看交往日誌
沒有 被愛 男孩也不介意
對象卻隨意 和某人 去培養情意
原來偏差至此 為何不忍終止

花燦爛微笑 花也無言飄落了 變改不少
經數年纏繞 不再如情痴 看友誼變質 傷口也不淺

專心偏心栽種 永沒悔改 結果一早不存在
怎麼天真的我 卻沒法看開

花燦爛微笑 花也無言飄落了 世界都已經改變
早已投降了 不再如情痴 立志等多四千天

Ten Years of Tree Planting

After school, we planted a tree and made a pinky promise
Secretly intoxicated, a silly boy's heart was filled with love
Vowing to take care of it every day, even after the age of eighty
The hidden meaning of the soil, I knew it without even saying

The flowers smiled brilliantly, the flowers silently fell, there were many changes
The weather often changed, from wind and rain to clear skies, I kept my promise, while you got tired of it, as I had expected

Tick, tock, looking at the dating diary again
There was no love, the boy didn't mind
The subject changed casually, to someone else, to cultivate feelings
So the deviation was so great, why couldn't I bear to end it?

The flowers smiled brilliantly, the flowers silently fell, there were many changes
After years of entanglement, I'm no longer infatuated, watching our friendship change, the wounds are no less deep

I planted it with devotion and partiality, and I never regretted it, but the result was never there in the first place
How could I, so naive, fail to see it?

The flowers smiled brilliantly, the flowers silently fell, the world has changed
I surrendered long ago, I'm no longer infatuated, I'm determined to wait another four thousand days
