[00:27.30] | The boy sits in a field tall grass above his head |
[00:32.38] | And he’s thinking of the path that his ancestors did tread |
[00:36.66] | And as he’s dreaming of the future a mist does descend |
[00:41.23] | And he wonders if this is the beginning or this is the end |
[00:45.52] | And out of the mist a tall creature does appear |
[00:49.57] | His eyes are wide and friendly, his face is full of years |
[00:53.94] | He says “we’re going on a journey in my hot air balloon |
[00:58.23] | And the time is now so we must get going soon” |
[01:02.51] | They flew over the houses and the streets they used to know |
[01:06.82] | Over trains going fast and people going slow |
[01:11.37] | There were snow on the mountains and boats on the sea |
[01:16.16] | And there were lovers in the forest carving their names into a tree |
[01:20.33] | The boys says “where are we going, where are we going to |
[01:24.87] | I’m scared of the future and I’m mildly scared of you |
[01:29.67] | The creature looked down and said “don’t be scared of the unknown” |
[01:34.48] | We’re going to a place in which I have grown |
[01:38.26] | With a sudden gush of wind the balloon fell from the sky |
[01:42.57] | And the boy shut his eyes and hoped he wouldn’t die |
[01:47.12] | The creature was calm, he had done this before |
[01:51.66] | So he landed the balloon and he opened the door |
[01:57.12] | The boy walked out and he couldn't believe his eyes, |
[02:03.19] | A flock of sheep was floating through the skies |
[02:08.51] | Followed by a shepherd going along for the ride |
[02:14.08] | The boy wondered what was going on |
[02:20.38] | So he walked through this land with the creature by his side; |
[02:24.93] | To his left was a painter, painting the tides, |
[02:28.99] | And to his right a pack of wolves did cry |
[02:33.28] | To the rise and fall of the moon |
[02:37.06] | And they entered the forest and the trees they hung low, |
[02:41.11] | Everything was dark and nothing there did grow |
[02:45.42] | Apart from a single yellow rose |
[02:49.73] | That the boy put in his hair |
[02:53.53] | And out of the forest, the snow it did fall, |
[02:57.56] | The creature held the boy away from the storm |
[03:02.37] | As out from the snow appeared an empty platform, |
[03:07.19] | And they waited patiently for a train |
[03:11.93] | And from far in the distance a train did arrive, |
[03:16.24] | A thousand polar bears were passengers inside |
[03:20.82] | And the creature said to the boy, "Are you ready for the ride?" |
[03:24.88] | And the boy said, "Yes, I think I am" |
[03:28.68] | So they sped through the hills and over mountains they did go, |
[03:33.02] | Over old wooden bridges withered from the cold |
[03:37.83] | And the boy stared out of the window |
[03:42.11] | And smiled at all he could see |
[03:47.04] | And they travelled through the desert to the setting sun, |
[03:51.61] | Over streams and rivers to where it all begun |
[03:56.14] | And through the wind and the rain until the days were done, |
[04:00.19] | They rode through the land |
[04:04.73] | And all of a sudden the train it did stop, |
[04:10.29] | The creature said to the boy, "This is where we both get off" |
[04:15.62] | And all the polar bears climbed to the top of the train |
[04:21.69] | To wave their goodbyes |
[04:25.48] | Alone they walked through a featureless land, |
[04:30.32] | No blade of grass, no grain of sand |
[04:35.36] | And on the horizon a great sea did stand, |
[04:39.93] | And creature said, "This is where I must go" |
[04:45.99] | And at the water's edge nothing more was said, |
[04:51.05] | The boy looked at the creature, not a single tear was shed |
[04:56.63] | And the creature laid his hand upon the boys head, |
[05:02.70] | And gave him a wink of his eye |
[05:07.50] | And the creature turned around and walked slowly to the sea, |
[05:13.57] | To go to a place where forever he would be |
[05:18.16] | And with one great leap he leapt into sea, |
[05:25.51] | And in the blink of an eye he was gone |
[05:32.34] | The boy stood still, alone now on the shore, |
[05:38.55] | He stared into the distance and hoped there would be more |
[05:45.13] | The yellow rose, it fell to the floor |
[05:51.71] | And drifted away on the wind |
[00:27.30] | The boy sits in a field tall grass above his head |
[00:32.38] | And he' s thinking of the path that his ancestors did tread |
[00:36.66] | And as he' s dreaming of the future a mist does descend |

[05:45.13] | The yellow rose, it fell to the floor |
[05:51.71] | And drifted away on the wind |
[00:27.30] | 那个男孩坐在田野里 茂盛的草丛遮住了他的脑袋 |
[00:32.38] | 他默默地思考着他的祖先们亲自踏过的道路 |
[00:36.66] | 他也在想象着一个薄雾笼罩的朦胧未来 |
[00:41.23] | 他也在好奇 这一切究竟是开始还是结束 |
[00:45.52] | 他漂浮的思绪之外 一个高大的人忽然出现 |
[00:49.57] | 他的双眼深邃而友好 他的脸庞已然满是岁月的痕迹 |
[00:53.94] | 他说:“我们将要踏上一段旅程,就坐在我的热气球里 |
[00:58.23] | “就是现在出发,所以我们必须马上动身。” |
[01:02.51] | 他们飞过许多熟知的房子与街道上空 |
[01:06.82] | 飞过快速奔驰的火车和缓慢行走的人们 |
[01:11.37] | 山峦披着洁白的雪 海水托着悠然的船 |
[01:16.16] | 森林里有热恋中的情侣 将他们的名字刻在树上 |
[01:20.33] | 男孩问:“我们要去哪里?” |
[01:24.87] | “我有点害怕未来,同时有一点怕你。” |
[01:29.67] | 那个人一直低头看着下方,说着:“不要害怕未知的事物。” |
[01:34.48] | “我们将去一个我长大的地方。” |
[01:38.26] | 忽然的一阵强风 将气球在空中掀翻 |
[01:42.57] | 男孩紧紧闭着双眼 他并不想死 |
[01:47.12] | 那个人很冷静 因为他以前经历过这种事 |
[01:51.66] | 所以他镇定地让气球落地 然后打开了门 |
[01:57.12] | 男孩走了出来,他不敢相信自己的眼睛 |
[02:03.19] | 一群绵羊在空中自如地漂浮 |
[02:08.51] | 还有一个牧羊人跟随它们的旅途 |
[02:14.08] | 男孩想知道到底发生了什么 |
[02:20.38] | 所以他和那个人一起 走过这片土地 |
[02:24.93] | 他的左边是一位画家 画着日复一日的潮汐 |
[02:28.99] | 他的右边是一群灰狼 |
[02:33.28] | 对着月亮的升起和落下 嚎叫着 |
[02:37.06] | 然后他们进入了一片森林 树木低低地垂着 |
[02:41.11] | 周遭一片灰暗 没有东西生长 |
[02:45.42] | 除了一朵孤零零的黄玫瑰 |
[02:49.73] | 男孩把他插到了头发上 |
[02:53.53] | 走出森林 雪飘飘洒洒 |
[02:57.56] | 那个人保护着男孩免受风暴 |
[03:02.37] | 走出这片雪 出现了一个空无一人的站台 |
[03:07.19] | 他们坐着 耐心地等待车来 |
[03:11.93] | 远处 一列火车真的来了 |
[03:16.24] | 里面的乘客是很多的北极熊 |
[03:20.82] | 那个人问男孩:“你准备好这趟旅程了吗?” |
[03:24.88] | 男孩回答:“我觉得我准备好了。” |
[03:28.68] | 他们坐上车 越过重重高山 |
[03:33.02] | 跨过有些瑟瑟发抖的老木桥 |
[03:37.83] | 男孩向窗外看去 |
[03:42.11] | 对他看到的一切欣然微笑 |
[03:47.04] | 他们从沙漠一直行到落日的边上 |
[03:51.61] | 越过溪水河流到它们发源的地方 |
[03:56.14] | 风吹雨打 直到旅程结束 |
[04:00.19] | 他们历经整片土地 |
[04:04.73] | 然后突然地 火车停下 |
[04:10.29] | 那个人对男孩说:“这里是我们下车的地方。” |
[04:15.62] | 所有的北极熊都爬上了车顶 |
[04:21.69] | 为他们挥手送别 |
[04:25.48] | 他们一同漫步在这片荒凉的土地 |
[04:30.32] | 没有一根草 没有一粒沙 |
[04:35.36] | 但在地平线处 静静地躺着一片湛蓝的海 |
[04:39.93] | 那个人说:“这里是我必须到的地方。” |
[04:45.99] | 在海水的边上 没有更多的话语 |
[04:51.05] | 男孩看着那个人 一滴眼泪都没有流下 |
[04:56.63] | 那个人把手放在男孩的头上 |
[05:02.70] | 眨了眨他的眼睛 微微一笑 |
[05:07.50] | 然后那个人转身 慢慢地走向那片海 |
[05:13.57] | 走向他终究要到的去处 |
[05:18.16] | 纵身一跃 他跳进了那片海水 |
[05:25.51] | 一眨眼便消失不见 |
[05:32.34] | 男孩静静地站着 一个人在海边 |
[05:38.55] | 他看向远方 希望能有更多 |
[05:45.13] | 他头上那朵黄玫瑰 颓然落地 |
[05:51.71] | 又被风轻轻托起 |
