Are you there? Can you hear me? Somewhere near me? 你在那里吗？你能听到我吗？地方靠近我？

In the morning, long ago, had to hold you so close, had to never let go. 当天上午，不久前，只好抱着你如此接近，不得不绝不放过。

Time on the river sliding on by. Hard to believe, wink of an eye. 时间在河上滑动的。很难相信，一个眼睛的眨眼。

   

Where'd you go, Baby Buffalo? What's become of old Cotton Eyed Joe? 你去哪儿了，宝贝水牛？什么是人老珠黄棉眼乔？

Hold up, lying low, long gone come-a summertime snow. 抱起来，趴低，长了进来，夏令雪。

   

Talk to your doctor, making her rounds. Ninety-six tears, one thousand clowns. 告诉你的医生，让她弹。九十六眼泪，千小丑。

There they are, shining bright. True creation, pure delight. 在那里，他们是，闪亮亮。真正的创作，纯粹的喜悦。

They go on, so do you. On and on, maybe me too. 他们去，所以你。在与上，也许我也一样。

   

Long ago Baby Buffalo, what's become of old Cotton Eyed Joe? 前不久婴儿水牛，这是怎么变老棉眼乔？

Hold up, lying low, long gone come-a summertime snow. 抱起来，趴低，长了进来，夏令雪。

   

Hold on to now till you have to let go. Easy through your fingers, ever so. 持有到现在，直到你不得不放手。容易通过你的手指，永远如此。

I'm just guessing, I don't know. Maybe it's a blessing, I sure hope so. 我只是猜测，我不知道。也许这是一个祝福，我当然希望如此。
