音乐咖啡厅:Days On My Past《过去的日子》英文版童年
英文歌词
I recall 1 when I was young. Oh I will play and always having fun
With the neighbours 2 next to me and we'll play until the setting 3 sun
Try to be the best among the others in a game call the "spider battle"
It doesn't matter who is the best now. Those were the days of my past
A few years later when I got to school and was late for lesson all the time
Always day dreaming in the class, till I don't even know the lesson's done
Then my teacher always tell me never ever be lazy again
What can I do now? What can I say now? Those were the days of my past
As the days go on and on I grew up and had my first love
Candel light and sandy beach finally give away my first kiss
Mother said I was too young to fall in love and then I will one day regret 4
So love was over, but I do miss her. Those were the days of my past
Just when I left my high school and got my first job as salesmen
Working hard all day and night. No one there to lend a helping 5 hand
Dady told me not to worry and said that l should go on step by step
What can I say now? What can I do now? Those were the days of my past
Then once day I settled 7 down with the only one I really love
Got a small family with two kids that is what I'm always hoping for
But I still remember having fun with all my friends when I was young
I miss my home town. I miss my old friends, those the days of my past
Oh I miss my home town I miss my old friends. When will I see them again?

附录：中文原版《童年》歌词
池塘边的榕树上，知了在声声叫着夏天
草丛边的秋千上，只有蝴蝶停在上面
黑板上老师的粉笔,还在拼命叽叽喳喳写个不停
等待着下课，等待着放学，等待游戏的童年
福利社里面什么都有，就是口袋里没有半毛钱
诸葛四郎和魔鬼党，到底谁抢到那支宝剑
隔壁班的那个男孩，怎么还没经过我的窗前
嘴里的历史，手里的漫画，心里初恋的童年
总是要等到睡觉前才知道，功课只做了一点点
总是要等到考试后才知道，该念的书都没有念
一寸光阴一寸金，老师说过寸金难买寸光阴
一天又一天，一年又一年，迷迷糊糊的童年
没有人知道为什么，太阳总下到山的那一边
没有人能够告诉我，山里面有没有住着神仙
多少平日记忆总是一个人，面对着天空发呆
就这么好奇，就这么幻想，这么孤单的童年
阳光下蜻蜓飞过来，一片片绿油油的稻田
水彩蜡笔和万花筒，画不出天边那一条彩虹
什么时候才能像高年级的同学，有张成熟与长大的脸
盼望着假期，盼望着明天，盼望长大的童年
一天又一天，一年又一年，盼望长大的童年
