I awake on a chilly Christmas morning í一个寒冷的圣诞节早晨醒来的

Watching choirs singing carols on TV 看着合唱团演唱的电视颂歌

I gaze out through my window at a dozen other windows 我凝视了从我的窗户，在其他十几个窗口

Then I plug in my artificial tree 然后，我插上我的人造树

And like a dream I begin to remember every Christmas I used to know 而像一个梦我开始记得每一个圣诞节，我用了才知道

A thousand miles away, a million years ago 千里之外，一百万年前

I remember sky. 我记得天空。

It was blue as ink, 它是蓝色的墨水，

Or at least I think 或者至少我认为

I remember sky 我记得天空

I remember snow, soft as feathers, sharp as thumbtacks 我记得雪，柔软如羽毛，锋利的图钉

Coming down like lint 下来像棉绒

And it made you squint when the wind would blow 它让你眯着眼睛的时候风会吹

And ice like vinyl on the streets 和冰一样乙烯街头

Cold as silver, white as sheets 冷如银色，白色床单

Rain like strings and changing things 雨像字符串和改变的东西

Like leaves 像叶子

I remember leaves 我记得叶

Green as spearmint 绿色的薄荷

Crisp as paper 脆如纸

I remember trees 我记得树

Bare as coatracks, spread like broken umbrellas 裸视coatracks ，传播像破伞

And parks and bridges, ponds and zoos 和公园，桥梁，水池和动物园

Ruddy faces, muddy shoes 红润的面孔，泥泞的鞋

Light and noise and bees and boys 光线和噪音，蜜蜂和男孩

And daaaaays, oh! 和daaaaays哦！

I remember days or at least I try 我记得天或至少我尝试

But as years go by, they're a sort of haze 但是，随着岁月的流逝，他们是一种阴霾

And the bluest ink isn't really sky. 而蓝的墨水是不是真的天空。

And at times I think I would gladly die 而且有时我想我会很乐意死

For a day of SKY! 对于天空的一天！
