中文翻譯對照

I was a wayward child

With the weigh of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn’t know
我從小就是個倔強奇怪的孩子，
小小的心裡卻裝著大大的世界；
而生活宛如一條曲折的道路，
教給我許多一個孩子本不該懂得的現實。
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time’s rolled by
Still feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
可是啊，
我還是會穩穩地立於大地之上，
然後閉上眼睛，
抬起頭來“仰望”天空——
時光荏苒，
而我依然是那個傻傻看著月亮的孩子。
也許，
我成長得太過匆忙吧……
Funny how one can learn
To grown umbtothemadness
And block it away
Ileft the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget
有點可笑吧，
我們都因為生活的瘋狂而漸漸遲鈍，
漸漸學會了逃避；
我將那些糟糕至極的事情咽回肚子，
從不訴說，
好將它們通通拋之腦後。
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time’s rolled by
Still feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
可是啊，
我還是會穩穩地立於大地之上，
然後閉上眼睛，
抬起頭來“仰望”天空——
時光荏苒，
而我依然是那個傻傻看著月亮的孩子。
也許，
我成長得太過匆忙了……
Nearing the edge
Obvious I almost
Fell rightover
Apart of me
Will never be quiteable
To feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on thevergeoffading
Thankfully I
Woke up in time
誰能視而不見呢？
在邊緣掙扎的我曾狠狠摔倒；
內心的一個角落，
從不曾被陽光的溫柔垂憐。
那個看似早成長為女人的孩子在我心中跌倒，
幾乎就要失去蹤跡——
感謝上天，
我及時清醒了過來……
Guardian angel
Sail away on an ocean
With you by myside
Orange clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you’re still alive
(You’re always alive)
守護的天使，
你陪伴我在無垠的海上顛簸；
慘澹的愁雲隨風而逝，
然後燃成了你的摸樣。
而你，
依然在我身邊，
（永遠在我身邊）……
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time’s rolled by
Still feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon

可是啊，
我會穩穩地立於大地之上，
然後閉上眼睛，
抬起頭來“仰望”天空——
時光荏苒，
而我依然是那個傻傻看著月亮的孩子。
也許，
我成長得太過匆忙……

歌詞

Close my eyes[Mariah Carey演唱的歌曲]

Close My Eyes (by Mariah Carey)

I was wayward child

With the weight of the world

That I held deep inside

Life was a winding road

And I learned many things

Little ones shouldn’t know

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

And though time’s rolled by

Still feel like that child

As I look at the monn

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

Funny how one can learn

To grow numb to the madness

And block it away

I left the worst unsaid

Let it all dissipate

And I try to forget

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

And though time’s rolled by

Still feel like that child

As I look at the monn

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

Nearing the edge

Obvious I almost

Fell right over A part of me

Will never be quite able

To feel stable

That woman-child falling inside

Was on the verge of fading

Thankfully I

Woke up in time

Guardian angel I

Sail away on an ocean

With you by my side

Orange clouds roll by

They burn into your image

And you’re still alive

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raise my head to the sky

And though time’s rolls by

Still feel like that child

As I look at the monn

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon
