The book I bought yesterday 这本书我昨天买了

I started to read 我开始阅读

I found a small marigold 我发现了一个小万寿菊

Pressed between leaves 叶之间的压

   

And in that small marigold, 而在小金盏花，

Well, I found a note 好吧，我发现了一张纸条

Saying, "Please won't you write to me 他说：“请你不给我写信

'Cause I'm so alone" 因为我很孤独“

   

So I'm going to write back today 所以我今天要回写

Yes, I'm going to write right away 是的，我会写的时候了

   

I started "Dear Marigold," 我开始“亲爱的万寿菊， ”

Not knowing her name 不知道她的名字

"I just had to write to you “我只是给你写信

'Cause I feel the same 因为我有同样的感觉

   

"You sound like the marigold “你听起来像万寿菊

That I found today 我今天发现

The beauty was there to be found 的美在那里被发现

But fading away 不过，渐行渐远

   

"So I'm writing to you today “所以，我今天写信给你

Yes, I'm writing to you right away 是的，我给你写信的时候了

   

As I started writing, 当我开始写，

Well what can I say 好吧我能说什么

I got to thinking 我一想到

Where are you today 今天你在哪里

   

Brown leather cover, 棕色皮套，

Ripped, tattered, and torn 撕开，破烂，和蹂躏

It's been such a long, long time 它已经这么长，很长一段时间

Since the flower was born 由于花诞生

   

There's no need to write back today 有没有必要在今天写回

I'm not going write right away 我不打算写的时候了

   

Just like a swan she is gliding, 就像一只天鹅，她的滑翔，

Drifting from here unto there 漂流从这里那里有

She has no thoughts of dying, 她没有想法死亡，

Winter does not mean despair 冬天并不意味着绝望

   

Warm summer nights left behind her, 离开了她的身后温暖的夏夜，

Thinking of things that she's done 事情以为她做了

Once were her friends all around her, 曾经是她的朋友们都围着她，

But now she is only one 但现在她只一个

   

Swan, swan keep your feet off the ground 天鹅，天鹅保持你的双脚离地

Keep flying around 保持周围飞

It's lonely you've found 这是寂寞的，你已经找到

You were left on your own 你留在自己的

You didn't do right 你没做对

Not to take off and fly 不起飞和飞行

When your friends left that night 当你的朋友离开了那一夜

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Someday I know you'll see something 有一天，我知道你会看到什么

That will bring back the memories of gold 这将带回的黄金记忆

You'll meet the friends that did leave you 你会满足朋友们都离开你

No more to be left in the cold 没有更多的要留在冷

   

And just like a swan you'll be gliding, 就这样一只天鹅，你会滑翔，

Drifting from here unto there 漂流从这里那里有

You'll have no thoughts of dying 你有没有想法死亡

'Cause winter did not mean despair 因为冬天并不意味着绝望
