罗大佑那首广为传唱的《童年》的英文版：回到那懵懂童年，会和邻居家的孩子在小小的游戏里一争高下；回到那青涩过往，烛光晚会、海边沙滩就这样送出了自己的初吻；回到那刚出茅庐的岁月，初尝生活的艰辛，爸爸告诫说慢慢来……直到有了自己的小家、有了孩子，“多么想念我的家乡，多么想念那过去的日子”，可这一切已经过去了……相同的旋律，不同的语言，别有一番风味，很亲切的。

 

Days On My Past

 

I recall when I was young. Oh I will play and always having fun

With the neighbours next to me and we'll play until the setting sun

Try to be the best among the others in a game call the "spider battle"

It doesn't matter who is the best now. Those were the days of my past

 

A few years later when I got to school and was late for lesson all the time

Always day dreaming in the class, till I don't even know the lesson's done

Then my teacher always tell me never ever be lazy again

What can I do now? What can I say now? Those were the days of my past

 

As the days go on and on I grew up and had my first love

Candel light and sandy beach finally give away my first kiss

Mother said I was too young to fall in love and then I will one day regret

So love was over, but I do miss her. Those were the days of my past

 

Just when I left my high school and got my first job as salesmen

Working hard all day and night. No one there to lend a helping hand

Dady told me not to worry and said that l should go on step by step

What can I say now? What can I do now? Those were the days of my past

 

Then once day I settled down with the only one I really love

Got a small family with two kids that is what I'm always hoping for

But I still remember having fun with all my friends when I was young

I miss my home town. I miss my old friends, those the days of my past

Oh I miss my home town I miss my old friends. When will I see them again?
