"Green, Green Grass Of Home"

The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
And there meet me is my Mama and my Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry,
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Then I awake and look around me, to the four grey wall that surround me
And then I realize that I was only dreaming.
There's a guard and sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all meet together in the shade of that old oak tree
As we neath indeed the green, green grass of home.

        Green, green grass of home   Tom Jones
       
        The old home town looks the same
        As I step down from the train
        And there to meet me is my mamma and poppa
        Down the road I look, and there runs Mary
        Hair of gold and lips like cherries
        It's good to touch the green,

green grass of home
       
        Yes, they'll all come to meet me
        Arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly
        It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
       
        The old house is still standing
        'Though the paint is cracked and dry
        And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
        Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
        Hair of gold and lips like cherries,
        It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
       
        Then I awake and look around me
        At the four gray walls* that surround me
        And I realize that I was only dreaming
        For there's a guard and a sad old padre
        Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
        And at last I'll touch the green green grass of home

 碧草如茵的家園   湯姆瓊斯
       
        古老的故鄉依舊
        當我步下火車
        迎接我的是我的雙親
        我向馬路望去，瑪麗正跑過來
        她一頭金髮，唇似櫻桃
        能觸摸到碧草如茵的家園真好
       
        是的，他們全都會來看我
        敞開雙臂，笑容燦爛
        能觸摸到碧草如茵的家園真好
       
        老家依然矗立著
        雖然油漆已經斑駁剝落
        還有那棵老橡樹，從前我常在那裡玩耍
        在巷子裡，我會和心愛的瑪麗散步
        她一頭金髮，唇似櫻桃
        能觸摸到碧草如茵的家園真好
       
        然後我醒來，看看四週
        圍繞著我的是個棺木
        才發覺自己在作夢
        警衛和悲傷年邁的軍中牧師
        手牽著手，在破曉時刻前進
        最後，我將會觸碰到碧草如茵的家園


           樂友dreamsdona來信提供另一種看法，請各位樂友參考：
     
           針對Green Green Grass Of Home的翻譯，提出另外一個版本的說法；
           這個是我在常春藤抒情老歌精選卡帶所附的歌本裡看到的翻譯，
           最後一段的部分，與您在網路上的版本稍有出 入。
     
           他還有一小段說明：本曲乃敘述一名死囚在黎明槍決前，夢見自己的家鄉，
           一切都如此的美好，而夢醒時，卻發現原來自己還是在灰暗的囚室中，等待
           槍決的來臨。
     
           然後在英文歌詞的部分除了第一段的greet，它是用meet代替；還有And I
           realize that I was only dreaming中的that，他是用yes以外；
           剩下都沒有不一樣的地方。

           我也不知道哪個才是對的，所以您不妨參考看看。
