Flying down the street on my American Ace 飞快地沿着街道上的我的美国王牌

I was fast on my feet or flat on my face, 我是在我的脸上很快我的脚或持平，

Testing my freedom from that day on 从那天起测试我的自由

Runnin' down the wind all the way back home 飞奔下来的风一路回家

That bike you gave me was one of my favorite things 那辆你给我的是我最喜欢的事情之一

That day I discovered you'd given me roots and wings. 那一天，我发现了你给我的根和翅膀。

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Roots and wings, gifts of love 根和翅膀，爱的礼物

Holding me strong and lifting me up 抱着我坚强和提升了我

Child of the earth and a rider of the wind 地球的孩子，风的骑手

A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings. 梦的夹在根和翅膀之间。

   

You weren't standing in my way when I was 18 你不站在我的方式，当我18岁

Letting your heart break and letting me leave 让你的心脏休息一下，让我离开

I was headin' my Chevy for the great unknown 我航向我的雪佛兰在很大的未知数

Knowing you'd be waiting at the end of that road 知道你会守候在那条路的尽头

   

Sometimes you've doubted the wisdom of my foolish dreams 有时候，你怀疑我的愚蠢梦想的智慧

You never once denied me my roots and wings. 你从来没有一次拒绝我，我的根和翅膀。

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Roots and wings, gifts of love 根和翅膀，爱的礼物

Holding me strong and lifting me up 抱着我坚强和提升了我

A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings. 梦的夹在根和翅膀之间。

   

Now part of me wants to stay close to the ground 现在，我的一部分要贴近地面

And part of me wants to never come down. 和我的一部分要回不来了。

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Roots and wings, gifts of love 根和翅膀，爱的礼物

Holding me strong and lifting me up 抱着我坚强和提升了我

A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings... 梦的夹在根和翅膀之间...
