I was lookin' for greener pastures 我追寻的择木而栖

When I left my old Kentucky home 当我离开我的老肯塔基

I was chasin' after dreams I thought I'd master 我追赶的梦想，我想我会掌握后

So I left the one that loved me all along 所以，我离开了那个爱我一直一个

Thinkin' only of myself and doin' better 想的只有我和乐队好

Didn't care about the grief I left behind 不关心我所留下的悲伤

Didn't even make a card or write a letter 甚至没有一张卡或写信

So sure I'd be successful in no time 所以，相信我会成功的，在任何时间

Now I'm heading for bluer pastures 现在我走向更蓝牧场

And back to the one who's heart I broke 再换一个谁的心脏我分手

To the bluegrass state of Kentucky 肯塔基兰草状态

Where he waits with open for me I hope 在那里，他将等待开放对我来说，我希望

   

Ain't it funny how you are when you're younger? 是不是很可笑，你怎么样，当你年轻的？

How what you have is never good enough 如何你有什么是永远都不够好

How the years will find you searchin' through your plunder 如何在年会找你Searchin的通过你的掠夺

Lookin' for the treasures you gave up 追寻的宝藏，你就放弃了

Well the seasons came, they went 以及季节来了，他们就

The dreams all shattered 所有破碎的梦

While the grass just stayed a lonely shade of brown 而草就留褐色孤独的绿荫

Then I realized I'd lost all that had mattered 然后我意识到我失去了一切都无所谓

So with foolish pride aside, I'm homeward bound 因此，与愚蠢的骄傲之余，我归去来兮

   

Now I'm heading for bluer pastures 现在我走向更蓝牧场

And back to the one who's heart I broke 再换一个谁的心脏我分手

To the bluegrass state of ole Kentucky 对OLE肯塔基兰草状态

Where he waits with open for me I hope 在那里，他将等待开放对我来说，我希望

Now I'm heading for bluer pastures 现在我走向更蓝牧场

Where the bluegrass waves sweetly in the wind 凡甜甜地在风中禾浪

Where the bluegrass music's always playin' 当蓝草音乐总是在玩“

To the haunting sound of Monroe's mandolin 梦露的曼陀林的声音萦绕

I'm heading for bluer pastures 我走向更蓝牧场
