Round like a circle in a spiral 圆形像一个螺旋圆

Like a wheel within a wheel 像一个车轮内的轮

Never ending on beginning 永不落幕的开始

On an ever-spinning reel 上不断旋转卷线筒

Like a snowball down a mountain 就像滚雪球下来山

Or a carnival balloon 或气球嘉年华

Like a carousel that's turning 就像一个旋转木马的转动

Running rings around the moon 跑来跑去月亮环

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping 像时钟的手被横扫

Past the minutes on its face 过去在表面上的分

And the world is like an apple 而世界就像是一个苹果

Whirling silently in space 在太空中默默婆娑

Like the circles that you find 这样你会发现圆

In the windmills of your mind 在你的心中的风车

   

Like a tunnel that you follow 如您按照隧道

To a tunnel of its own 自身的隧道

Down a hollow to a cavern 倒空到一个洞穴

Where the sun has never shone 当太阳照不到

Like a door that keeps revolving 就像一扇门，保持旋转

In a half-forgotten dream 在半被遗忘的梦

Or the ripples from a pebble 或从卵石涟漪

Someone tosses in a stream 有人扔在流

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping 像时钟的手被横扫

Past the minutes on its face 过去在表面上的分

And the world is like an apple 而世界就像是一个苹果

Whirling silently in space 在太空中默默婆娑

Like the circles that you find 这样你会发现圆

In the windmills of your mind 在你的心中的风车

   

Keys that jingle in your pocket 那叮当口袋中的钥匙

Words that jangle in your head 话争吵在你的脑袋

Why did summer go so quickly? 为什么夏天如此迅速去了？

Was it something that I said? 是什么事情，我说的吗？

Lovers walk along a shore 情侣散步沿着海岸

And leave their footprints in the sand 并留下他们的足迹在沙滩上

Was the sound of distant drumming 是遥远的击鼓声

Just the fingers of your hand? 你的手只是手指？

Pictures hanging in a hallway 照片挂在走廊

Or the fragment of a song 或一首歌曲的片段

Half-remembered names and faces 半记住名字和面孔

But to whom do they belong? 但谁也属于？

When you knew that it was over 当你知道一切都结束了

Were you suddenly aware 是你突然意识到

That the autumn leaves were turning 那叶秋翻了

To the color of her hair? 到了头发的颜色？

   

Like a circle in a spiral 就像一个螺旋圆

Like a wheel within a wheel 像一个车轮内的轮

Never ending or beginning 上房或开始

On an ever-spinning reel 上不断旋转卷线筒

As the images unwind 由于图像放松

Like the circles that you find 这样你会发现圆

In the windmills of your mind 在你的心中的风车
