Yesterday a child came out to wonder 昨天一个孩子出来不知道

Caught a dragonfly inside a jar 抓蜻蜓罐子里

Fearful when the sky was full of thunder 恐惧时，天空布满雷鸣

And tearful at the falling of a star 并含泪在下降的一颗新星

   

And the seasons they go round and round 和季节，他们周而复始

And the painted ponies go up and down 和涂小马有涨有跌

We're captive on the carousel of time 我们俘虏在时间的旋转木马

We can't return we can only look 我们无法回报，我们只能看

Behind from where we came 从我们背后传来

And go round and round and round 走了一圈又一圈又一圈

In the circle game 在游戏圈

   

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons 那么孩子搬到十倍一轮季节

Skated over ten clear frozen streams 滑冰十清晰冰冻溪流

Words like when you're older must appease him 也就是说，当你长大一样必须安抚他

And promises of someday make his dreams 有一天许诺让他的梦想

   

And the seasons they go round and round 和季节，他们周而复始

And the painted ponies go up and down 和涂小马有涨有跌

We're captive on the carousel of time 我们俘虏在时间的旋转木马

We can't return we can only look 我们无法回报，我们只能看

Behind from where we came 从我们背后传来

And go round and round and round 走了一圈又一圈又一圈

Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town 侧手翻转向车轮通镇

And they tell him take your time it won't be long now 他们告诉他，把你的时间也不会很长，现在

Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down 直到你拖你的脚减缓圈

   

And the seasons they go round and round 和季节，他们周而复始

And the painted ponies go up and down 和涂小马有涨有跌

We're captive on the carousel of time 我们俘虏在时间的旋转木马

We can't return we can only look 我们无法回报，我们只能看

Behind from where we came 从我们背后传来

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty 所以，这些年来通过旋转而现在的男孩20

Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true 虽然他的梦想已经失去了一些庄严成真

There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty 还会有新的梦想，也许更好的梦想和充足

Before the last revolving year is through 在过去的一年周转通过

We're captive on the carousel of time 我们俘虏在时间的旋转木马

We can't return we can only look 我们无法回报，我们只能看

Behind from where we came 从我们背后传来

And go round and round and round 走了一圈又一圈又一圈

And go round and round and round 走了一圈又一圈又一圈
