Perhaps things and people are all different now.
可是 随着岁月的荡涤
But as time ripples away,
在我 一个远方游子的心头
they are becoming clearer to me,
却日渐清晰起来
a wanderer far away from home.
我所经历的大事 也不算少了
Though I've lived through several significant events,
可都被时间磨蚀了
they were all eroded by the time.
然而这些童年的琐事
It's these trifles in my childhood
无论是酸的 甜的 苦的 辣的
no matter the sweets or the bitters of life
却永久 永久地刻印在我的心头
that remain in my mind forever and ever.
每个人的童年
Isn't everyone's childhood
不都是这样的愚騃而神圣吗
unfailing and sublime like this?
