时间只知道我们必须付出代价;
如果我能告诉你我愿意让你知道。
如果小丑的表演让我们想哭,
如果乐队的演奏使我们惶然无措,
时间不言语但说我已经告诉过你。
没有金玉良缘,但我一如从前,
因为我爱你胜过我说我爱你,
如果我能告诉你我愿意让你知道。
风肯定来自某个方向然后吹走,
树叶萎顿残败肯定自有道理 ;
时间不言语但说我已经告诉过你。
可能玫瑰很想长大,
梦幻真愿驻足停留 ;
如果我能告诉你我愿意让你知道。
试想群狮全站起来走动,
所有的河流和士兵逃跑 ;
时间不言语但说我已经告诉过你 ?
如果我能告诉你我愿意让你知道。。
If I could tell
you
Time will say nothing but I told you so,
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
If we should stumble when musicians play,
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
There are no fortunes to be told, although,
Because I love you more than I can say,
If I could tell you I would let you know.
The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,
There must be reasons why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
Suppose the lions all get up and go,
And all the brooks and soldiers run away;
Will Time say nothing but I told you so?
If I could tell you I would let you know.
