歌词
Look back to long ago
回到那历史鸿沟，
To a little town so calm and slow
一个乡村如此宁静肥沃。
The days and months and years just kinda slipped on by
那日啊月啊年啊就这样流逝，
你学习那些古典乐器，
You learned to play those ancient strings
当世界听著其他旋律。
While the world listened to other things
直到你终于坐下并哭泣，
Until you finally just sat down to cry
所以你打包并道珍重，
并且没回头直到你走远后
So you packed a bag and said so long
前往某个城市需要你演奏，
And you didn't look back till you were long gone
因为你属于那里。
Headed to the city to play your song
你的父母每天都担心着你，
Cause that's where you belong
朋友都说你选错了路，
但那有关财富、名声的承诺
Your parents worried 'bout you every day
让你无法回头。
All your friends said you chose wrong
你在这冰冷城市的朋友只有琴和弓，
But the promises of fame, success and fortune
低头走过大雨淋下的街道和巷弄，
Were just too strong
而当空气渐渐冻结、雨也变成雪，
你对自己说：
Your only friend in the cold cruel city are your strings and bow
“世上每只小马都该认识我”
“世上每只小马都该认识我”
Keep walking through the rainy streets with your head down low
抬起头，别闷着说；
And as air gets colder and the rain turns to snow
Whisper to yourself
你闪耀的时刻已到来；
I'm the type of pony everypony should know
束起你的领带并拴紧你的弓；
并向这世界演奏一首流传千世的序曲。
I'm the type of pony everypony should know
别贱卖你的梦；
Octavia,
Chin up now, don't look so glum
夜晚将由你保留；
Octavia, (Octavia)
The time for you to shine has come
只要深呼吸往深处探去；
Octavia, (Octavia)
并向这世界演奏一首催眠的摇篮曲。
Straighten up your tie and rosin up your bow
你开始爱上这座不夜城。
And play the world an overture they'll remember for years to come
当表演如此明亮，灯光如此闪亮，
你发现这里就是属于你的地方——
Octavia, (Octavia)
到处都是你的名子和面孔。
Don't sell your dream so cheap
当你走过，人们不断注视，
Octavia, (Octavia)
而你假装把他们都无视。
This night is yours to keep
所以你致电给一位
Octavia, (Octavia)
友谊应该持续到永久的老朋友，
Just take a breath and reach down deep
你想知道她这些年过得怎么样，
And play the world a lullaby to send us off to sleep
“现在不方便，忙着创作一首全新的歌”
或这只是谎言，而这段对话最终以泪水终结。
You've grown to love this sleepless city
为何我遗忘，遗忘她如此长久？
With the shows so bright, and the lights so pretty
我本以为这没有关系但最终失去了一切...
You feel that this is where you're meant to be
我很抱歉，
很抱歉，
Your name and face are everywhere
我正试着振作，
When you walk by, they stop and stare
世上每只小马都应该认识我，
And you pretend like you just never see
但我表现出来的却都不是我。
而当我走过那寒冷的雪，
So you called a friend back from the past
我感到如此失落。
A relationship that's meant to last
You wonder how she's been all these years
抬起头，
别闷著说；
Can't talk now, busy making a brand new song
Or is she faking, the conversation broke you down to tears
你闪耀的时刻已到来；
Why did I forget about her for so long
束起你的领带并拴紧你的弓；
I thought it wouldn't really matter but it's all just gone so wrong
并向这世界演奏一首催眠的摇篮曲。
I'm sorry,
So sorry,
别贱卖你的梦；
I'm trying to be strong
夜晚将由你保留；
I'm the type of pony everypony should know
But who I am inside isn't what I show
只要深呼吸往深处探去；
And as I walk through the cold and snow
并向这世界演奏一首催眠的摇篮曲。
I feel so low
我们在家乡想着你；
Octavia,
Chin up now,
当你决定离开这里；
Don't look so glum
Octavia,(Octavia)
我们以为再也见不到你；
The time for you to shine has come
但我们唯一知道的消息就是你选择了正确的道路。
Octavia, (Octavia)
Straighten up your tie and rosin up your bow
我们在家乡想着你；
And play the world an overture they'll remember for years to come
Octavia, (Octavia)
当你决定离开这里；
Don't sell your dream so cheap
Octavia, (Octavia)
你会不会回来并向
This night is yours to keep
我们展示你就是那个我们一直熟悉的提琴手？
Octavia, (Octavia)
Just take a breath and reach down deep
And play the world a lullaby to send us off to sleep
Octavia, (Octavia)
We all miss you here at home
Octavia, (Octavia)
When you left us all to roam
Octavia, (Octavia)
We never thought we'd see you again
But the only thing we hear from you is you were right again
Octavia, (Octavia)
We all miss you here at home
Octavia, (Octavia)
When you left us here to roam
Octavia, (Octavia)
Will you come back home to show
All of us what's become of the cellist we used to know
