Round, 圆圆的
Like a circle in a spiral
像螺旋纹里的圆圈
Like a wheel within a wheel
像环里的另一个环
Never ending or beginning
没有开始也没有结尾地
On an ever-spinning reel
像个旋转不停的轮轴
Like a snowball down a mountain
像滚下山坡的雪球
Or a carnival balloon
或像个嘉年华会的汽球
Like a carousel that's turning
像转动着的旋转木马
Running rings around the moon
环绕着月球来运行
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
像时钟的指针
Past the minutes on it's face
走过钟面上的刻度
And the world is like an apple
而地球就像个苹果
Whirling silently in space
在太空中无声地转动
Like the circles that you find
像你找到的圆圈
In the windmills of your mind
在你心灵里的风车里找到的圆圈
Like a tunnel that you follow
像你走着的隧道
To a tunnel of it's own
把你带进属于隧道里的另一隧道
Down a hollow to a cavern
就像从一个空洞进入另一个洞穴
Where the sun has never shone
一个阳光照不到的洞穴
Like a door that keeps revolving
像一扇不停地转动的门
In a half-forgotten dream
在几被遗忘的梦境里的一扇不停转动的门
Like the ripples from a pebble
像被扔进溪流里的小石子形成的涟漪
Someone tosses in a stream
有人扔到溪流里的小石子
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
像时钟的指针
Past the minutes on it's face
走过钟面上的刻度
And the world is like an apple
而地球就像个苹果
Whirling silently in space
在太空中无声地转动
Like the circles that you find
像你找到的圆圈
In the windmills of your mind
在你心灵里的风车里找到的圆圈
Keys that jingle in your pocket
在你口袋里叮当作响的钥匙
Words that jangle in your head
在你脑海里喧哗着的话语
Why did summer go so quickly?
夏天为何走得如此匆促？
Was it something that I said?
是否我说错了什么话？
Lovers walk along a shore
恋人们在海边漫步
And leave their footprints in the sand
在沙滩上留下了足迹
Was the sound of distant drumming
那是否遥远的鼓音？
Just the fingers of your hand?
抑或是你的弹指之声？
Pictures hanging in a hallway
悬挂在长廊里的一些照片
Or the fragment of a song
抑或是一首歌的片段
Half-remembered names and faces
那些已经印象模糊的名字与容颜
But to whom do they belong?
它们究竟属于谁？
When you knew that it was over
当你明白一切已成过去
Were you suddenly aware
你是否会猛然察觉到
That the autumn leaves were turning
秋叶已逐渐变色
To the colour of her hair?
变成了她头发的颜色？
Like a circle in a spiral
像螺旋纹里的圆圈
Like a wheel within a wheel
像环里的另一个环
Never ending or beginning
没有开始也没有结尾地
On an ever-spinning reel
像个旋转不停的轮轴
As the images unwind
当画面慢慢地展开
Like the circles that you find
像你找到的圆圈
In the windmills of your mind
在你心灵里的风车里找到的圆圈”
