Adrian pulang lagi musim panas lalu
Things just haven’t been the same around here
Hal-hal yang tidak sama di sekitar sini
And people talk and people stare
Dan orang-orang berbicara dan orang-orang menatap
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
Oh, Adrian, keluar dan main
An unfortunate accident in a canoe
Kecelakaan yang tidak menguntungkan di sampan
Doctor said, “I’m sorry, not much I can do”
Dokter berkata, “Saya minta maaf, tidak banyak yang bisa saya lakukan”
And the air was so still and his eyes, they did not blink
Dan udara begitu tenang dan matanya, mereka tidak berkedip
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
Oh, Adrian, keluar dan main
Little Mary Epperson liked him
Little Mary Epperson menyukainya
And she vowed always to watch after him
Dan dia bersumpah untuk selalu mengawasinya
But still he did not move and the doctor said “it’s no use”
Tapi tetap saja dia tidak bergerak dan dokter mengatakan “tidak ada gunanya”
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
Oh, Adrian, keluar dan main
She sat by his side and watched the years fly by
Dia duduk di sisinya dan menyaksikan tahun-tahun berlalu
He looked so fragile, he looked so small
Dia terlihat sangat rapuh, dia terlihat sangat kecil
She wondered why he was still alive at all
Dia bertanya-tanya mengapa dia masih hidup sama sekali
Everyone in town had that “I’m so sorry look”
Semua orang di kota mengatakan bahwa “Saya sangat menyesal melihat”
They talked in a whispered hush, said “I’d turn the machines off”
Mereka berbicara dengan bisikan berbisik, berkata “Saya akan mematikan mesinnya”
But still she sat by his side, she said, “life he won’t be denied”
Tapi tetap saja dia duduk di sampingnya, dia berkata, “Hidup dia tidak akan ditolak”
Oh Adrian, come out and play
Oh Adrian, keluar dan mainkan
Yellow flowers decorate his bedroom
Bunga kuning menghiasi kamar tidurnya
Sign above his door says Welcome Home
Tanda di atas pintunya mengatakan Welcome Home
But he just sits and stares
Tapi dia hanya duduk dan menatap
He’s awake but still not there
Dia sudah bangun tapi tetap saja tidak ada
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
Oh, Adrian, keluar dan main
She sat by his side and watched the years fly by
Dia duduk di sisinya dan menyaksikan tahun-tahun berlalu
He looked so fragile, he looked so small
Dia terlihat sangat rapuh, dia terlihat sangat kecil
She wondered why he was still alive at all
Dia bertanya-tanya mengapa dia masih hidup sama sekali
And little Mary Apperson grew up lovely
Dan Mary Apperson kecil tumbuh cantik
And she still comes to visit him on Sundays
Dan dia masih datang mengunjunginya pada hari Minggu
He’s like an unused toy
Dia seperti mainan yang tidak terpakai
He’s got big hands but the mind of a little boy
Dia punya tangan besar tapi pikiran anak laki-laki kecil
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
Oh, Adrian, keluar dan main
Adrian came home again last summer
Adrian pulang lagi musim panas lalu
Things just haven’t been the same around here
Hal-hal yang tidak sama di sekitar sini
