The parrot and the sad girl were standing in the doorway.【曾经，有只鹦鹉与一位悲伤的姑娘一同站在门道口】
The parrot wants to see the shore【那只鹦鹉想要看到海滩】
and I don't like this place anymore.【而我却不再喜欢这个地方】（译者按：那个悲伤的姑娘应是歌者自己的另一个化身）
I want a House far away
for the parrot and me.【为了自己，也为了那只鹦鹉，我想要一幢房子，远离这里】
Her tears fell to the floor【（可）她（不自禁）地流下了泪水】
and I want the Soul I had before.【（而）我则对过去之心念念难忘】（译者按：过去心不可得，现在心不可得，未来心亦不可得。若欲可得，皆为妄念！）
I'm leaving now. So long and all.【现在，我将要离去，将要离去很长时间，或许将是永远】
I want to go alone.【我想孤身一人去往（远处）】
Her tears fell to the floor【（可）她（不自禁）地流下了泪水】
and I want the Soul I had before.【（而）我则对过去之心念念难忘】
