罗大佑那首广为传唱的《童年》的英文版：回到那懵懂童年，会和邻居家的孩子在小小的游戏里一争高下；回到那青涩过往，烛光晚会、海边沙滩就这样送出了自己的初吻；回到那刚出茅庐的岁月，初尝生活的艰辛，爸爸告诫说慢慢来……直到有了自己的小家、有了孩子，“多么想念我的家乡，多么想念那过去的日子”，可这一切已经过去了……相同的旋律，不同的语言，别有一番风味，很亲切的。

Days On My Past

I recall when I was young. Oh I will play and always having fun
With the neighbours next to me and we'll play until the setting sun
Try to be the best among the others in a game call the "spider battle"
It doesn't matter who is the best now. Those were the days of my past

A few years later when I got to school and was late for lesson all the time
Always day dreaming in the class, till I don't even know the lesson's done
Then my teacher always tell me never ever be lazy again
What can I do now? What can I say now? Those were the days of my past

As the days go on and on I grew up and had my first love
Candel light and sandy beach finally give away my first kiss
Mother said I was too young to fall in love and then I will one day regret
So love was over, but I do miss her. Those were the days of my past

Just when I left my high school and got my first job as salesmen
Working hard all day and night. No one there to lend a helping hand
Dady told me not to worry and said that l should go on step by step
What can I say now? What can I do now? Those were the days of my past

Then once day I settled down with the only one I really love
Got a small family with two kids that is what I'm always hoping for
But I still remember having fun with all my friends when I was young
I miss my home town. I miss my old friends, those the days of my past
Oh I miss my home town I miss my old friends. When will I see them again?

池塘边的榕树上 知了在声声叫着夏天 

操场边的秋千上 只有蝴蝶停在上面

黑板上老师的粉笔 还在拼命唧唧喳喳写个不停 

等待着下课 等待着放学 等待游戏的童年

福利社里面什么都有 就是口袋里没有半毛钱 

诸葛四郎和魔鬼党 到底谁抢到那支宝剑

隔壁班的那个女孩 怎么还没经过我的窗前 

嘴里的零食 手里的漫画 心里初恋的童年

总是要等到睡觉前 才知道功课只做了一点点 

总是要等到考试以后 才知道该念的书都没有念

一寸光阴一寸金 老师说过寸金难买寸光阴 

一天又一天 一年又一年 迷迷糊糊的童年

没有人知道为什么 太阳总下到山的那一边 

没有人能够告诉我 山里面有没有住着神仙 

多少的日子里 总是一个人面对着天空发呆 

就这么好奇 就这么幻想 这么孤单的童年

阳光下蜻蜓飞过来 一片片绿油油的稻田 

水彩蜡笔和万花筒 画不出天边那一道彩虹 

什么时候才能像高年级的同学有张成熟与长大的脸 

盼望着假期 盼望着明天 盼望长大的童年

一天又一天 一年又一年 盼望长大的童年
