Take Me Home, Country Roads
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees:
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
All my memories gather round her,
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
I hear her voice in the morning hours,
She calls me.
The radio reminds me of my home Far away,
And driving down the road,
I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
Take me home,country roads.
Take me home, country roads.
西弗吉尼亞,簡(jiǎn)直就象天堂一樣——在那里可以看到藍(lán)嶺及雪蘭多河。那里的生活源遠(yuǎn)流長(zhǎng),比大樹悠久,比高山年少,如微風(fēng)漸進(jìn)。鄉(xiāng)村路,請(qǐng)帶我回到屬于我的家——西弗吉尼亞,鄉(xiāng)村路,請(qǐng)帶我回家。
我一直想著我媽媽,她是個(gè)礦工的太太從來沒有見過大海。礦場(chǎng)上的灰塵總是將天空染成黑色。在回憶中,我仿佛品嘗到了以前常喝的家里自制的酒。想到這些,不禁潸然淚下。
我聽到她在早晨呼喚我。收音機(jī)的聲音使我想起遠(yuǎn)方的家鄉(xiāng)。就在我開車回家的路上,我有一種早就該回家的感覺

like a breeze:像微風(fēng)一樣
例如: Smile is like sunshine and like a breeze. It makes others happy.
微笑如陽光,又如微風(fēng),令人高興。
這一節(jié)大概意思是:那里生活久遠(yuǎn),指很早便有生命存在,與樹比,比樹老,與山比,則比山年輕,徐徐生長(zhǎng)如清風(fēng)。
