还记得罗大佑那首经典的《童年》吗？可知此曲首唱是才女张艾嘉？它不仅收录在张艾嘉1982年发行的专辑《张艾嘉：童年》中，还收录在了罗大佑自己同年发行的专辑《之乎者也》中。
这首歌自上世纪八十年代诞生至今一直风靡校园，更有无数翻唱，每个人都在歌曲中寻找自己过去的影子……今天推荐的这版英文翻唱据称来自网络翻唱歌手baishi-kle，其歌词另起炉灶，平白直叙，表达的同样是对往昔的怀念，受到众多网友的喜爱。
【注】此版英文歌词似有不少可商榷处，翻唱者勇气可嘉，我们权当“抛砖引玉”，欢迎有兴趣的朋友提出意见和建议。
Days of My Past
I recall when I was young
Oh I will play and always having fun
with the neighbour next to me
And we'll play until the setting sun
Try to be the best among the others
in a game called 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
Candle 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 a salesman
Working hard all day and night
No one there to lend a helping hand
Daddy 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 one 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 were the days of my past
Oh I miss my home town
I miss my old friends
When will I see them again

童年
词曲：罗大佑
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
