Neverland - Darren Hayes

Bản dịch của: lucky

Long ago
When mercury descended high on the moon
Far below
When little hands are making shapes in the room
The shadows they dance
And they cheer up this place
The face
That's staring through the tiny crack in the door
Eyes so wide
He's never seen a women fall on the floor

I swear daddy's killed her this time
Should I made a rocket
Should I tried to fly away
Should I made a hammer
Should I tried to smash his face
Should I make a bullet
Should I tried to shoot the gun
I'm sure the judge will let me off real soon

Long ago
When saturn tried to find a way past the sun
Deep inside
A little boy is turning pain into fun
The pencils, the crayons, the paint colors run
The plans
Are forming slowly made with scissors and glue
Eyes so wide
He's telling mommy all the things he can do
He'll sketch a contraption to save them for sure

He can draw an alien
He can come and take them home
He can draw a cartoon
He can draw a safety hatch
He can draw a hot bath
He can plug a toaster in
And wait till daddy's nice and warm
Toss it in

And then when he's gone
There's a neverland of fun

Take a loaded gun
Take the shot oh well
Take the poison away
There's a lesson in that
No more costing fists
No more face to hits
No more bloody nose
Or apologetic notions

Long ago
When mercury descended high on the moon
Should I made a rocket
Should I tried to fly away
When little hands are making shapes in the room
The shadows they dance
Should I made a hammer
Should I tried to smash his face

Long ago
When I sat and try to find a way past the sun
Deep inside
Should I draw a cartoon
Should I draw an alien
A little boy is turning pain into fun
Should I draw a hot bath
Should I plugged a toaster in 		Lâu rồi trước đây
khi thủy ngân vẫn còn nhiều trên mặt trăng
Xa xôi dưới đây
Khi những đôi bàn tay nhỏ bé đang tạo hình dáng trong phòng
Bóng tối nhảy múa
Và chúng cổ vũ cho chốn này
Khuôn mặt
Đang nhìn chằm chằm qua khe nứt trên cửa
Đôi mắt mở to
Cậu bé chưa từng nhìn thấy một người phụ nữ ngã trên sàn
