Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

 

 

 

When are you gonna come down

When are you going to land

I should have stayed on the farm

I should have

listened to my old man

 

You know

you can't hold me forever

I didn't sign up with you

I'm not a present

for your friends to open

This boy's too young

to be singing the blues

 

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me

in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

 

Back to the howling old owl

in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided

My future lies

beyond the yellow brick road

 

What do you think

you'll do then

I bet that'll

shoot down your plane

It'll take you a couple of vodka

and tonics

To set you on your feet again

 

Maybe you'll get a replacement

There's plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who ain't got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you

on the ground

언제 내려갈까

언제 정착할 수 있을까

농장에 남았어야 했어

아버지 말씀을

들었어야 했는데...

 

날 영원히 붙잡아 둘 순 없어요

난 당신과 계약같은걸

하지 않았어요

난 당신 친구들이 열어보는

선물이 아니라구요

이 아이는 너무 어려서

블루스를 노래할 수 없어요

 

사회의 추악한 것들이 떠들어대는

노란 벽돌길이여 안녕

날 당신의 펜트하우스에

가둬둘 순 없어요

난 쟁기질을 하러 가겠어요

 

숲에선 늙은 부엉이가 울어대고

딱딱한 등의 두꺼비를 잡으러

다닐 수 있는 곳으로 돌아갈래요

난 마침내 결정했어요

내 미래는 노란 벽돌 길

너머에 있어요
