归去来兮辞 x Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[King-of-Infinite-Space]

注：Goodbye Yellow Brick Road是Elton John的一首歌（Keane的翻唱也不错），听到的时候感觉其歌词和陶渊明的《归去来兮辞》异曲同工，于是强行把歌词换成了归去来兮辞来唱。当然，个别地方字数对不太上，希望无伤大雅。

[Verse 1] When are you going to come down? 田园将芜 When are you going to land? 胡不归 I should have stayed on the farm 既自以心为形役 I should have listened to my old man 奚惆怅而独悲

You know you can't hold me forever 悟已往之不谏 I didn't sign up with you 知来者之可追 I'm not a present for your friends to open 实迷途其未远 This boy's too young to be singing the blues 觉今是而昨非

[Chorus] So goodbye yellow brick road 舟遥遥以轻飏 Where the dogs of society howl 风飘飘而吹衣 You can't plant me in your penthouse 问征夫以前路 I'm going back to my plough 恨晨光之熹微 Back to the howling old owl in the woods 引壶觞以自酌 Hunting the horny-back toad 眄庭柯以怡颜 Oh I've finally decided my future lies 云无心以出岫 Beyond the yellow brick road 鸟倦飞而知还

[Verse 2] What do you think you'll do then? 世与我而相违 I bet that'll shoot down your plane 复驾言兮焉求 It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics 悦亲戚之情话 To set you on your feet again 乐琴书以消忧 Maybe you'll get a replacement 农人告余以春及 There's plenty like me to be found 将有事于西畴 Mongrels who ain't got a penny 既窈窕以寻壑 Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground 亦崎岖而经丘

[Chorus] So goodbye yellow brick road 木欣欣以向荣 Where the dogs of society howl 泉涓涓而始流 You can't plant me in your penthouse 善万物之得时 I'm going back to my plough 感吾生之行休 Back to the howling old owl in the woods 寓形宇内复几时 Hunting the horny-back toad 曷不委心任去留 Oh I've finally decided my future lies 聊乘化以归尽 Beyond the yellow brick road 乐夫天命复奚疑
