Million Years Ago是由英国流行歌手Adele演唱的一首歌曲,是其第三张专辑《25》中的第9首歌曲。在第二张专辑发行过后,Adele便考虑退出音乐行业。然而,在2012年初,她又宣称自己只是处于暂休状态,因为她需要一点时间和生活空间来继续工作。同年10月,当Adele的第一个儿子出生后,Adele便说是她的儿子激发了她重新开始创作音乐的决心,因为她想要让儿子知道自己在做什么。与此同时,Adele也表示自己在工作之前做了一个慎重的决定,就是不试着创作出一张与《21》拥有相同概念的专辑,于是便有了《25》这张专辑。
I only wanted to have fun
我只是想享受韶光
Learning to fly, learning to run
学奔跑学飞翔
I let my heart decide the way when I was young
当我年少的时候一切都随心而行
Deep down I must have always known
然而我早已明白
That is would be inevitable
万事皆注定
To earn my stripes I'd have to pay
一身荣耀,一身红尘
And bear my soul
而无处安放我心
I know I'm not the only one
我知道我并非一人
Who regrets the things they've done
后悔曾经做过的事
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
有时又隐约感觉唯独我
Who can stand the reflections that they see
不再符合曾经的形象
I wish I could live a little more
我希望我的时日足够长久
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
仰天远眺,放下执念
I feel like my life is flashing by
我为人生过眼云烟而彷徨
And all I can do is watch and cry
如今能做的只有观望与感伤
I miss the air, I miss my friends
我怀念当时的气息,我思念我的挚友
I miss my mother
我想念我的母亲
I miss it when life was a party to be thrown
我怀念绚烂的人生篇章
But that was a million years ago
然而往事却已留在风中
When I walk around all of the streets
当我重走所有的街巷
Where I grew up and found my feet
那里是我成长的地方
They can't look me in the eye
现在人们不愿与我直视
It's like they're scared of me
陌生恐慌
I try to think of things to say
我尝试与他们闲聊
Like a joke or a memory
笑谈风浪
But they don't recognize me now
但他们已认不出我的模样
In the light of day
哪怕艳阳如常
I know I'm not the only one
我知道我并非一人
Who regrets the things they've done
后悔曾经做过的事
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
有时又隐约感觉唯独我
Who never became who they thought they'd be
担当起了意料之外的角色
I wish I could live a little more
我希望我的时日足够长久
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
仰天远眺,放下执念
I feel like my life is flashing by
我为人生过眼云烟而彷徨
And all I can do is watch and cry
如今能做的只有观望与感伤
I miss the air, I miss my friends
我怀念当时的气息,我思念我的挚友
I miss my mother
我想念我的母亲
I miss it when life was a party to be thrown
我怀念绚烂的人生篇章
But that was a million years ago
然而那已经是逝去的时光
A million years ago
遥远的曾经
