The End of The Innocence - Don Henley

Remember when the days were long
記得當時的長日漫漫
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
在深藍色的天空下 我們翻滾著
Didn't have a care in the world
在這個世界裡 無憂無慮
With mommy and daddy standing by
媽咪和爹地都相伴著我
When "happily ever after" fails
當“從此過著幸福快樂的日子”開始幻滅
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
我們已被這些童話故事毒害
The lawyers dwell on small details
律師們在小細節上盤算著
Since daddy had to fly
自從爹地不得不遠走高飛之後

But I know a place where we can go
但我知道一個地方 我們可以去
That's still untouched by man
那個地方還沒有被人發現
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
我們可以坐著 看天上的白雲飄過
And the tall grass waves in the wind
高高的青草在風中搖擺
You can lay your head back on the ground
妳可以整個人躺下來
And let your hair fall all around me
讓妳的頭髮垂落在我的身上
Offer up your best defense
盡妳的全力守護這裡
But this is the end
但這是終點
This is the end of the innocence
這是純真歲月的終點

O' beautiful, for spacious skies
喔 美麗的 寬闊的天空
But now those skies are threatening
但現在那些天空也變得險惡
They're beating plowshares into swords
他們正把那些鋤頭打成刀劍
For this tired old man that we elected king
為了這個我們推選他為國王的疲憊老人
Armchair warriors often fail
坐著扶手椅上的戰士總是失敗
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
而我們已被這些童話故事毒害
The lawyers clean up all details
律師們整理出所有細節
Since daddy had to lie
自從爹地不得不說謊之後

But I know a place where we can go
但我知道有一個地方 我們可以去
And wash away this sin
並且洗淨這些罪惡
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
我們可以坐著 看天上的白雲飄過
And the tall grass waves in the wind
高高的青草在風中搖擺
Just lay your head back on the ground
妳就整個人躺下來吧
And let your hair spill all around me
讓妳的頭髮散落在我身上
Offer up your best defense
盡妳的全力守護這裡
But this is the end
但這是終點
This is the end of the innocence
這是純真歲月的終點

Who knows how long this will last
誰知道這將會持續多久
Now we've come so far, so fast
現在我們已進步地太遠，太快
But, somewhere back there in the dust
但是 這些飛揚塵土後的某處
That same small town in each of us
那個如昔的小鎮就在我們每個人的心中
I need to remember this
我必須記得這個
So baby give me just one kiss
所以寶貝 就給我一個吻吧
And let me take a long last look
讓我最後一次好好地看著妳
Before we say good bye
在我們說再見之前

Just lay your head back on the ground
妳就整個人躺下來吧
And let your hair fall all around me
讓妳的頭髮垂落在我身上
Offer up your best defense
盡妳的全力守護這裡
But this is the end
但這是終點
This is the end of the innocence
這是純真歲月的終點
