Time passes slowly up here in the mountains

此处的山间时光流得迟缓，

We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains

我们常坐桥边，漫步在泉水畔，

   Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream

　抓野生鱼儿－它们在河川浮动，

   Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream 

   时光缓缓流逝－当你沉湎迷梦。

Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin'

我曾有个爱人，长得纤巧、耐看， 

We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin'

我们坐在灶间，她妈妈在煮餐－ 

　Stared out the window to the stars high above

　凝视着窗外高悬的星星，　 

　Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love

　时光流得缓慢－当你寻觅爱情。 

Ain't no reason to go in a wagon to town

并非没来由地搭货车到城里， 

Ain't no reason to go to the fair

并非没来由地要去赶集。 

   Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down

   并非没来由地奔东走西， 

   Ain't no reason to go anywhere

   并非没来由地去往各地。

Time passes slowly up here in the daylight

此处的白昼时光过得迟滞， 

We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right

我们朝前方直视，力免差池， 

　Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day

　就像夏日里开花的玫瑰，

　Time passes slowly and fades away

　时光缓缓流逝，一去不回。
