Chinese Translation

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I sailed a wild, wild sea

climbed up a tall, tall mountain

I met a old, old man

beneath a weeping willow tree

He said now if you got some questions

go and lay them at my feet

but my time here is brief

so you'll have to pick just three

And I said

What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart

and how can a man like me remain in the light

and if life is really as short as they say

then why is the night so long

and then the sun went down

and he sang for me this song

See I once was a young fool like you

afraid to do the things

that I knew I had to do

So I played an escapade just like you

I played an escapade just like you

I sailed a wild, wild sea

climbed up a tall, tall mountain

I met an old, old man

he sat beneath a sapling tree

He said now if you got some questions

go and lay them at my feet

but my time here is brief

so you'll have to pick just three

And I said

What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart

and how can a man like me remain in the light

and if life is really as short as they say

then why is the night so long

and then the sun went down

and he played for me this song
