Castle On The Hill 山丘上的城堡

When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down

六歲時
為了要從我哥和他的朋友們之間逃跑
我跌斷了腿
並在滾下山坡時
初嚐了青草的芬芳


I was younger then
Take me back to when
I found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long
I know I've grown
But I can't wait to go home

那時我還年少
回想當時
我找到了心儀和心碎的對象
我交到朋友
並在多年來陸續失去他們的音訊
好久好久沒再見到那個些個小時候撒野的地方了
如今我長大了
卻等不及要回到小時候成長的地方


I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way
You make me feel
And it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

我正在回家的路上
車子在鄉間小路以時速九十英哩穿行
口中哼著"Tiny Dancer"
那時我們一起看著夕陽在山丘上的城堡落下
你給我的感覺
如此真實
現如今仍令我懷念



Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night
I don't reckon that I did it right

十五歲時
抽著手捲香煙
在鄉野間被警察追著跑
與狐朋狗友一起買醉
在某一週五晚上獻上初吻
表現的有點糟糕


I was younger then,
Take me back to when


We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long
Oh, how we've grown
But I can't wait to go home

那時我還年少
回想當時
我們會在週末找兼差工作
一拿到薪水
就去買便宜的烈酒
直接把自己灌醉
如今我們好久好久沒有吐的亂七八糟了
瞧瞧我們是怎麼長大啊
可是我還是等不及要回到那個成長的地方



I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way
You make me feel
And it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

我正在回家的路上
車子在鄉間小路以時速九十英哩穿行
口中哼著"Tiny Dancer"
那時我們一起看著夕陽在山丘上的城堡落下
你給我的感覺
如此真實
現如今仍令我懷念
在山丘上的城堡
在山丘上的城堡


One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
But these people raised me
And I can't wait to go home

朋友當中
一個離鄉去賣衣服
一個在海邊工作
一個有兩個孩子卻獨居
一個的兄弟重度藥物成癮
一個再婚有了第二個太太
一個財務困難勉強度日
生活或有不順遂
他們都是伴我成長的哥們
我真等不及要回到那個成長的地方

And I'm on my way
I still remember these old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way
You make me feel
And it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

我正在回家的路上
我仍記得那些鄉間小路
仍記得那些跌跌撞撞尋找人生答案的日子
那時我們一起看著夕陽在山丘上的城堡落下
你給我的感覺
如此真實
現如今仍令我懷念
在山丘上的城堡
在山丘上的城堡
