Garden Song
Inch by inch, row by row
渐渐地,整齐地
Gonna make this garden grow
小小花园快长大
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
只需一只耙子和一把锄头
And a piece of fertile ground
还有一片肥沃的土壤
Inch by inch, row by row
一寸寸,一排排
Someone bless these seeds I sow
有东西在祝福着我播洒下的种子
Someone warm them from below
还有东西在地底下温暖着它们
Till the rain comes tumblin down
直到大雨哗啦啦地掉下
Pullin weeds and pickin stones
拔掉杂草,拨开石头
Man is made of dreams and bones
人是用骨肉与梦想铸成的
Feel the need to grow my own
你会感受到学会独立的重要
Cause the time is close at hand
因为自己种出的瓜最甜
Rainful rain, sun and rain
雨绵绵,太阳雨
Find my way in natures chain
在大自然的怀抱中找回自我
Tune my body and my brain
调整我的身心
To the music from the land
感受大地的乐曲
Plant your rows straight and long
种下一排排植物,直直的,长长的
Temper them with prayer and song
用一个小小的祈祷,一首轻轻的音乐作肥料
Mother earth will make you strong
“只要你为地球妈妈奉献爱心和关怀,
If you give her love and care
她就会把你们照顾得好好的。”
Old crow watchin hungrily
一只乌鸦在远处的树枝上
From his perch in yonder tree
看着花园里的果实流了口水
In my garden Im as free
在我小小的花园里,我就像树枝上
As that feathered thief up there
那只长羽毛的小偷一样自由自在
Inch by inch, row by row,
渐渐地,整齐地
gonna make this garden grow.
美丽的花园成长起来啦
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and apiece of fertile ground.
你只需要细细的耙子,小小的锄头,和一块窄窄的空地
Inch by inch, row by row,
一寸寸,一排排
Someone bless the seeds I sow.
有东西在祝福我播洒下的种子
Someone warm them from below,
还有东西在地底下温暖着它们
'til the rain comes tumbling down.
直到绵绵细雨轻轻飘下
Inch by inch, row by row
渐渐地,整齐地
Gonna make this garden grow
小小花园快长大
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
只需一只耙子和一把锄头
