Verse 1第一段
Dust danced on that road.塵土在鄉間小路上飛揚,
The sun warmed our backs.陽光將我們的背影拉長。
We were young and wild.那時我們年少又輕狂,
With no heavy loads.心頭沒有煩憂的重量,
Just a creek so mild.只有一條溪水潺潺。
Pre-Chorus 1預副歌 1
That water gave me dreams.那流水曾贈予我夢想,
Those pebbles felt like gold.掌心石暖,燦若金芒。
The old tree shared its secrets,老樹分享了它的秘藏,
And never seemed to grow old.而它自己,彷彿從未歷經滄桑。
Chorus副歌
Take me back, back to that creek side,帶我歸鄉,回到那溪畔,
Where the dragonflies shone like jewels.那裡蜻蜓飛舞,閃爍寶石的光芒。
We built our world from mud and sunlight,那裡有我們,用泥巴和陽光搭建的殿堂。
And time forgot all the rules.而時間,遺忘了所有的規章。
The trees sang sweetly, slowly.樹木吟唱,甜美而悠揚。
Oh, country creek, you flow…噢,故鄉的溪流,
Straight to my soul.徑直流入我的心房。
Verse 2第二段
We skipped the flat stones.石片點水飛翔,
They hopped across the stream.躍過潺潺溪床。
You drew maps in the wet sand,你於沙上作畫
I made a wish, a dream.我於夢裡祈願。
The world felt a giant,世界如巨人沈默,
But we, a marching band!但我們,如行進的樂隊,聲勢昂揚!
Pre-Chorus 2預副歌 2
That summer made us brothers.那年夏天,斜風細雨,
The air smelled like rain.我們,情如同袍。
You handed me a twig, a token arcane,你遞來枝杈為盟,
A sword against the mundane.那是持劍少年,仗劍天涯的倚靠。
Chorus副歌
Take me back, back to that creek side,帶我歸鄉,回到那溪畔,
Where the dragonflies shone like jewels.那裡蜻蜓飛舞,閃爍寶石的光芒。
We built our world from mud and sunlight,那裡有我們,用泥巴和陽光搭建的殿堂。
And time forgot all the rules.而時間,遺忘了所有的規章。
The trees sang sweetly, slowly.樹木吟唱,甜美而悠揚。
Oh, country creek, you flow…噢,故鄉的溪流,
Straight to my soul.徑直流入我的心房。
Bridge橋段
Now the roads are paved and straight.如今道路筆直,
The city lights are bright.都市燈火輝煌。
But sometimes in the quiet,然,於萬籟中,
I miss that different light.我依然懷念,故鄉的那束光。
Then I hear the water…我聽見流水,
It calls my childhood name.聲聲呼喚我舊日的模樣。
That country creek still whispers,那故鄉的溪流,輕輕吟唱:
“You can find your way.”「歸來吧,別再流浪。」
Final Chorus最終副歌
So take me back, back to that creek side!帶我歸鄉,回到那溪畔!
Where the dragonflies shone like jewels!那裡蜻蜓飛舞,閃爍寶石的光芒!
We built our world from mud and sunlight!那裡有我們,用泥巴和陽光搭建的殿堂!
And time forgot all the rules!而時間,遺忘了所有的規章!
The trees sang sweetly, slowly!樹木吟唱,甜美而悠揚!
Oh, country creek, you flow…噢,故鄉的溪流,
Straight to my soul.徑直,
You flow straight to my soul.流入我的心房。
Outro尾聲
Dust dances…小路綿長…
Sun beams…光陰徜徉…
The creek flows…溪水流淌…
Take me home…帶我歸鄉…
