On the quiet street in the city
A little old man walked alone
Shuffling through the autumn afternoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summer’s come and gone
He had a long long midnight ahead waiting for June
Then among the leaves near an orphan’s home
A piece of paper caught his eyes
And he stood to pick it up with treambling hands
And as he read the childish writing
The old man began to cry
’Cause the words burned inside him like a brand
”Whoever finds this, I love you
Whoever finds this, I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So, whoever finds this, I love you”
Well, the old man’s eyes searched the orphan’s home
And came to rest upon a child
With her nose pressed up against the window pane
And the old man knew he’d found a friend at last
So he waved at her and smiled
And they both knew they’d spend the winter
Laughing at the rain
And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain
Talking through the fence
Exchanging little gifts they’ve made for each other
The old man would carve toys
And the little girl would draw pictures of beautiful ladies for him
And they laughed a lot
But then one day on the first of June
The little girl ran to the fence ... the old man wasn’t there
And, somehow she knew he was never coming back
So she went back to her little room
took a crayon
And wrote:
”Whoever finds this, I love you
Whoever finds this, I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So, whoever finds this, I love you”
中:
城市裡某條寂靜的街道上
一位佝僂的老人孤獨的走著
穿梭在那秋日的午後
秋葉提醒著他
又過了一個夏季
在六月再度來臨前
他還得渡過無數寂寞的漫漫長夜
可是在一堆孤兒院附近的落葉中
一張紙條吸引住了他的目光
他彎下腰用顫抖的手撿起了它
而當他閱讀著那稚嫩的筆跡時
老人哭了起來
只因那些字句像把火炬在他心中燃燒
“撿到這張紙條的人，我愛你
撿到這張紙條的人，我需要你
我甚至連個可以說話的人都沒有
所以無論你是誰，撿到這張紙條的人，我愛你”
老人的目光向孤兒院內搜尋著
然後停留在一個孩子臉上
女孩的鼻尖貼著玻璃窗
老人明白他終於找到一個朋友了
於是他對著女孩揮手微笑著
他們都知道他們將一同度過這個冬天
一起在雨中歡笑
整個冬季他們在雨中不停的歡笑著
透過柵欄天馬行空的交談著
交換他們為彼此做的小禮物
老人會雕刻玩具
小女孩就幫他畫美女在紙上
他們無盡的歡笑著
可是有一天，就在六月的第一日
小女孩如往常那樣奔向了柵欄
卻沒有看見老人的身影
不知道為什麼，她知道老人不會再回來了
所以她回到她的小房間
拿出一支蠟筆，又寫了起來:
“撿到這張紙條的人，我愛你
撿到這張紙條的人，我需要你
我甚至連個可以說話的人都沒有
所以無論你是誰，撿到這張紙條的人，我愛你”

這是我最喜歡的一首英文歌
每次聽都好感動
默默的感傷
但其實又很溫暖
”Whoever finds this,I love you.”
