《Wish I Stayed》是Ellie Goulding演唱的歌曲，收录在专辑《Bright Lights》中。
歌曲歌词
Why can't we speak another language' one we all agree on
为什么我们不能说出孩提时代跟家乡人学到的誓约般的语言？
When when men look outside' do they see houses
为什么许多人总是背井离乡向往灯红酒绿
Instead of the fields they grew from
而不是养育了他们的一方水土？
We are Constantly uprooted from them' making us tiresome and fearful
拜他们所赐，我们中越来越多人开始忘本，令我们心力交瘁。
Can you get up right now' endeavor to freefall
你们这些忘本的人能不能振作起来，像尝试蹦极一样尝试造福家乡么？
You can fall if you want to' It's just a matter of how far
因为只要你想就能跨出决定性的一步，关键在于能持续多久
You've treasured our home town
你已经令乡亲们引以为荣
But you've forgotten where you are
但你居然已经忘了你的根在哪
And it will stay with you until you're mind's been found
这可怕的思想一旦无人察觉将根深蒂固
and it has been found wondering around
感受到它的存在，令我们忧心忡忡
With that skipping rope' the trampoline
儿时让我跳个不停的跳绳和蹦床啊
The crafty smoke that made us choke
还有那呛的我们掉眼泪的行踪狡猾不定的炊烟啊
But we didn't give up hope
令我们决不放弃让家乡更美好的心愿
It's just the simple ways' of getting paid
仅仅需要一个简单的措施付诸实施
The carelessnes of running away
让漠不关心的态度烟消云散
I wish I stayed
我希望我能落叶归根
I wish I stayed
我希望我能衣锦还乡
I wish I stayed
我希望我能结庐于此
Patterns all aranged in my background
画板上那被我精心绘画的美好画卷啊
It's pillars and posts keeping this country on form
描述的是保持家乡这幢巨大房子不会倒塌的柱子和横梁
Letters were all sent with no addresses
调皮的我们总是寄出那些没有署名的信件
So that people can't discover
这样就可以看到那些收信人困惑不解的滑稽相了
Always undercover
躲在前人种植的大树树荫下
Why do i always draw triangles
为什么我会在可怜的写字本上画一个个三角形
Instead of words this paper so deserves
而不是让它发挥本身写字的职能
You see
如你所见
I don't own my clothes but i own my mind
我粗心丢失的并不是漂亮的衣裳而是欠缺细心和记性
And it's not what you've lost
而这些儿时的美好并不是像你们想的那样遗失了
But it's what you find.
正相反，你们已经找到并回忆起来了
With that skipping rope' the trampoline
儿时让我跳个不停的跳绳和蹦床啊
The crafty smoke that made us choke
还有那呛的我们掉眼泪的行踪狡猾不定的炊烟啊
But we didn't give up hope
令我们决不放弃让家乡更美好的心愿
It's just the simple ways' of getting paid
仅仅需要一个简单的措施付诸实施
The carelessnes of running away
让漠不关心的态度烟消云散
I wish I stayed
我希望我能落叶归根
I wish I stayed
我希望我能衣锦还乡
I wish I stayed
我希望我能
cos you can fall if you want to
因为只要你想就能跨出决定性的一步
It's just a matter of how far
关键在于得持续多久

你已经令乡亲们引以为荣
But you've forgotten where you are
