歌词
They paved paradise
他们铺平了乐园
Put up a parking lot
建了一个停车场
With a pink hotel, a boutique
情趣酒店，时装店
And a swinging hot spot
还有一个供人们挥洒热汗的歌舞厅
Don't it always seem to go
乐土就这样一点点被蚕食
That you don't know
直到它彻底消失
what you've got till it's gone?
人们才会幡然醒悟
They paved paradise
他们铺平了乐园
Put up a parking lot
建了一个停车场
They took all the trees
他们伐倒所有树木
Put 'em in a tree museum
用它们造了一间林木博物馆
And they charged the people
还收取观光费
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
标价一刀五十分
Don't it always seem to go
乐土就这样一点点消失
That you don't know
直到它彻底消失
what you've got till it's gone?
人们才会幡然醒悟
They paved paradise
他们铺平了乐园
Put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer
嘿，老伯老伯
Put away the DDT now
别再喷洒DDT了
Give me spots on my apples
蛀虫的苹果又无妨
But leave me the birds
那些小鸟和蜜蜂
and the bees, please
请你放过他们！
Don't it always seem to go
乐土就这样一点点消失
That you don't know
直到它彻底消失
what you've got till it's gone?
人们才会幡然醒悟

Late last night
昨天深夜
I heard the screen door slam
纱门砰的一声
And a big yellow taxi
一辆黄色出租车
Took away my old man
就这样结束了我那老头子的生命
