Greenfields 綠野 (02:57) Brothers Four

四兄弟合唱團 Terry Gilkyson - Rich Dehr - Frank Miller

Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun.

Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run.

Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above.

Once they were part of an everlasting love.

We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.

Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run.

Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart.

Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart.

Where are the green fields, that we used to roam ?

I'll never know what, made you run away.

How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day.

I only know there's, nothing here for me.

Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see.

Still I'll keep on waiting, until you return.

I'll keep on waiting, until the day you learn.

You can't be happy, while your heart's on the roam,

You can't be happy until you bring it home.

Home to the green fields, and me once again

Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun.曾有一片被陽光親吻過的綠野

Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run.曾有一片山谷，河水潺潺流過

Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above.曾有一片藍天，白雲高掛天上

Once they were part of an everlasting love.它們都曾是永恆的愛的一部分

We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.我倆正是漫步穿過綠野的戀人

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.綠野已不再，被太陽晒成焦黃

Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run從潺潺河水曾經流過的山谷中消失

Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart.隨著吹進我心裡的寒風消失

Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart.隨著讓夢想分道揚鑣的戀人消失

Where are the green fields, that we used to roam ?我倆曾漫步其中的綠野如今何在？

I'll never know what, made you run away.我永遠無法得知你為何要離開？

How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day.當烏雲蔽日，我該如何找尋？

I only know there's, nothing here for me.我只知道此地已無容身之處

Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see.天地之大，已沒有屬於我的景色

Still I'll keep on waiting, until you return.我依然在等待，等你回來

I'll keep on waiting, until the day you learn.我會等下去，等到你回心轉意

You can't be happy, while your heart's on the roam,你不可能快樂，當你的心仍在漂泊

You can't be happy until you bring it home.你不可能快樂，除非你的心已歸來

Home to the green fields, and me once again再度回到這片綠野，和我身邊

Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun.

Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run.

Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above.

Once they were part of an everlasting love.

We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.

Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run.

Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart.

Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart.

Where are the green fields, that we used to roam ?

I'll never know what, made you run away.
