Текст и перевод песни 黄宏墨 - 怪老樹

怪老樹

在很久很久以前
有棵大树被砍倒在大河边
那一年起了大风雨
河水都涨上了草原
树林被淹盖在水里
鱼虾把鸟窝当家园
漂啊漂啊漂向大海
大海却是那么的遥远
漂啊漂啊漂向大海
大海却是那么的遥远
过了好久好久以后
水位下降大树再也游不动
没几年大河变小溪
岸上的草木又繁衍
树林也开始了生气
蝴蝶鸟兽重返家园
飞啊飞啊飞向大地
大树却是枯萎的叹息
飞啊飞啊飞向大地
大树却是枯萎的叹息
过了好久好久以后
阳光暖暖照射平静的水面
又几年泥土又丰美
树根努力往河床伸
吐放新叶吮吸滋养
泥土落叶慢慢堆积
堆啊堆啊堆起生命大树
就此又有了生机
堆啊堆啊堆起生命大树
以为有了生机
漂啊漂啊漂向大海
大海却是那么的遥远
漂啊漂啊漂向大海
大海却是那么的遥远
漂啊漂啊漂向大海
大海却是那么的遥远
漂啊漂啊漂向大海
大海却是那么的遥远

Withered Old Tree

Long, long ago
A big tree was felled by a riverbank
That year a great storm arose
And the river flooded the grasslands
The forest was submerged
Fish and shrimp made their homes in birds' nests
It drifted and drifted towards the sea
But the sea was so far away
It drifted and drifted towards the sea
But the sea was so far away
Many, many years later
The water level dropped and the tree could drift no more
In a few years, the river became a stream
And the vegetation on the banks grew again
The forest began to thrive once more
And butterflies, birds, and animals returned to their homes
It flew and flew towards the land
But the tree sighed, withered
It flew and flew towards the land
But the tree sighed, withered
Many, many years later
Sunlight gently shone upon the calm water
And after a few more years, the soil was fertile again
The tree's roots extended into the riverbed
And new leaves emerged, absorbing nourishment
Soil and fallen leaves slowly accumulated
It piled and piled, creating a living tree
And so it came to life again
It piled and piled, creating a living tree
And it seemed to have life again
It drifted and drifted towards the sea
But the sea was so far away
It drifted and drifted towards the sea
But the sea was so far away
It drifted and drifted towards the sea
But the sea was so far away
It drifted and drifted towards the sea
But the sea was so far away
