Tom Jones-Green Green Grass of Home

The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
and there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green, grass of home.
The old house is still standing, tho' the paint is cracked and dry,
and there's that old oak tree that I used to play on.

Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

[spoken:]

Then I awake and look around me, at the four grey walls that surround me
and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming.
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre -
arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.

故郷の街並みは昔と同じ
列車を降りると 両親が迎えに来てくれている
通りを走ってくるメアリーが見える
金髪でさくらんぼのような唇の
故郷の緑に触れるのは気持ちが良いものだ
そうなんだ 皆が迎えに来てくれる
両手を差し伸べて 優しく微笑みながら
故郷の緑に触れるのは気持ちが良いものだ

古い家はまだちゃんと建っている
壁は干からびてひび割れてはいるけれど
そして 僕が遊んだあの古い樫の木もある
愛しいメアリーと一緒に小道を歩くんだ
金髪でさくらんぼのような唇の
故郷の緑に触れるのは気持ちが良いものだ

そして僕は目覚める 辺りを見回してみる
僕は灰色の壁に囲まれている
そして気づくんだ そうなんだ 僕は夢を見ていたんだ と
看守がいるし 悲しそうな顔をした年老いた牧師がいる
夜明けには 腕を掴まれ歩くんだ
それから僕は故郷の緑に触れることになる

そうなんだ 皆が僕に会いに来るんだ
あの古い樫の木陰のところに
皆は僕を故郷の緑の下に横たえるんだ
