The fool on the hill

Day after day alone on a hill
the man with the foolish grin 
is keeping perfectly still,
but nobody wants to know him.
They can see that he’s just a fool
and he never gives an answer.
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning ‘round.

Well on the way, head in a cloud
the man of a thousand voices
talking perfectly loud,
but nobody ever hears him,
or the sound appears to make,
and he never seems to notice.
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning ‘round.

And nobody seems to like him.
They can’t tell what he wants to do
and he never shows his feeling,
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning ‘round.

He never listens to them,
and he knows that they’re the fool.
They don’t like him,
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down

and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning ‘round.



嘿，今天是4/1愚人节，节日快乐？现在，我又发现自己是多么愚蠢！我竟然如此愚蠢，竟然想不出一些愚人节的玩笑来，于是只好又提起笔来，但是我竟然如此愚蠢，以至于竟然不知该写一些什么才好，而只好抄了甲壳虫乐队的一首关于愚人的歌的歌词给你看看。此时，我竟然如此愚蠢，以至于不能完全看懂这些歌词，否则我本该把它们完全翻译出来给你一读的。

唉，很不幸，也许我们都已成为歌中那个“愚人”眼中的愚人了，而且恐怕已经不可救药啦！世界在不停地旋转着，我们无法keep perfectly still。但是我想，我们仍然应该感到高高兴兴的，因为我们平安而快乐地生活着。
