Green leaves of summerThe Brother Four

A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer are calling me home
Was so good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping as high as the sky

A time just for planting
A time just for plowing
A time to be courting a girl of your own
Was so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
And to stand by your wife at the moment of birth

A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
A time just for living
A place for to die

*Was so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer are calling me home*

夏日绿叶　四兄弟合唱团

有收割的时节
有播种的时节
夏日的绿叶在呼唤我回家
那时候，年轻是多么美好的事
当丰收的季节里
鲶鱼跃起像天一样高的时候

有栽种的时节
有耕耘的时节
还有追求心仪女子的时光
那时候，年轻是多么美好的事
如此的亲近大地
还有陪同妻子迎接新生儿的那一刻

有收割的时节
有播种的时节
在努力活过之后
有安享天年的地方

那时候，年轻是多么美好
如此与大地亲近
如今，夏日的绿叶呼唤着我回家
