California Dreaming重庆森林

California¹ Dreaming
Mamas and Papas

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreaming on such a winter's day!

Stopped into a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend² to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold. He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming on such a winter's day!

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
California dreaming on such a winter's day!

树叶转黄，天空灰蓝。我散着步，在一个冬日里
我会安全又温暧，如果这是在洛杉矶。加州梦在这样的冬日升起!

停车走进教堂，穿过走道，我跪了下来，并假装祈祷
你知道神父喜欢寒冷，他知道我会留下来。加州梦在这样的冬日升起!

树叶转黄，天空灰蓝。我散着步，在一个冬日里
如果不是告诉了她，我今天就会离去。加州梦在这样的冬日升起!
