Puff the Magic Dragon -- Peter, Paul & Mary

又到一年秋风起。这首歌让我想起童年,温暖又带着点伤感。






PUFF --THE MAGIC DRAGON
Leonard Lipton & Peter Yarrow


Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
in a land called Honah Lee

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
and brought him strings and sealing wax
and other fancy stuff

Together they would travel
on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout
perched on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes
would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flag
when Puff roared out his name

A dragon lives forever
but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings
make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow
green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
along the cherry lane
Without his life-long friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
sadly slipped into his cave
