The Way We Were

The Way We
Were memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me - would we? Could we?
Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it is the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
So it is the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were.



往日的我们



记忆
像心的角落
往日的我们
留在水彩般的
记忆中，



蒙蒙如雾
散落的照片
有我们往日的笑容

那些相逢时
真心会意的笑容
也许过去
就这样单纯
或许时间改变了一切？
假如我们会重新开始
告诉我，还会吗？

记忆
不妨是美好的
太痛苦的往事
我们只得忘记

所以每当想起
往日的我们
是朗朗的笑声
回荡在我们的记忆

所以每当想起
往日的我们
是朗朗的笑声
回荡在我们的记忆

后记。这是电影‘The Way We Were’里的音乐和歌曲。这么多年来。它是我的最爱之一，每年都可能重看一次，次次感动。先生昨日高兴把他的中译文给我传来。愿它也打动你的心。
