一首脍炙人口的家乡歌:《Green,Green Grass Of Home 青青家乡草

 美国乡村音乐《Green,Green Grass Of Home 青青家乡草》

演唱：波特·瓦格纳 Porter Wayne Wagoner 

The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train

当我步下火车时，我看到家乡一如往昔

And there to meet me are my mamma and my poppa

妈妈和爸爸来车站接我

Down the read I look, and there runs marry, hair of gold, lips like cherries

沿路望去，我看到我那金发樱唇的玛利正向我跑来

It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

走在家乡的绿草地上真好

Yes, they’ll all come to meet me

是的，他们都会来看我

Arms a reaching, smiling sweetly

张开我双臂迎接我，对我甜甜的微笑

It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

走在家乡的绿草地上真好

The old house is still standing

那座老屋仍旧矗立在那里

Though the paint is cracked and dry

虽然上面的油漆已经干裂

And there’s that old oak tree that I used to play on

那是我小时候长在上面玩耍的老橡树

Down the lane I’ll walk with my sweet marry, hair of gold and  lips like cherries

我和我那金发樱唇的玛利一起沿着小巷漫步

It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

走在家乡的绿草地上真好

Then I awake and look around me at the four gray walls that surround me

我一觉醒来，环顾四周还是那四面灰墙

And I realize, yes, that I was only dreaming

噢，我知道我只是在做梦

For there’s a guard and a sad old padre

典狱长和老神父来了

Arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak

我们手挽手走着，在黎明时分

And at last I’ll touch the green, green grass of home
