这是一个关于成长的童话故事:魔龙Puff独自住在海边。有一天它遇到了小男孩Jackie Paper,小男孩和魔龙交上了朋友。魔龙天天带着小男孩四处去游玩,渡过了许多难忘的时光。小男孩一天比一天长大,有了更多的朋友和自己的事情,越来越少出现在魔龙的身边。终于有一天,小男孩再也不会去找魔龙。伤心的魔龙孤独的回到了海边。

Puff, the Magic Dragon,你要快乐,你是一头不老不死的魔龙。


PUFF (THE MAGIC DRAGON)
Peter, Paul & Mary
(Yarrow/Lipton)


(Chorus)
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee


Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh!


(Chorus, twice)


Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene’er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name. Oh!


(Chorus)


A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.


His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh!


(Chorus, softly)
(Chorus, loudly)

这首歌说的是发生在一头具有魔力名叫Puff的神龙与一个叫Jackie的小男孩之间的故事。
Puff是一头会喷火的魔龙,长久以来他一直住在海边的岩洞里,经常独自在薄雾弥漫的海中寂寞游荡。一天有一个名叫Jackie的小男孩来到了海边,他不像普通人那么害怕Puff,还与Puff交上了朋友。从此以后他们就天天在一起玩耍,Puff还让Jackie骑在他的脖子上,威风凛凛地带着他四处游历。但他们毕竟属于不同的两个世界,Puff是神龙,他不会死不会老也不会长大,而Jackie却在一天天的成长着,他接触了更多的人和事,有了更多的朋友和自己的生活。Jackie越来越少出现在海边,Puff孤独地窝在岩洞里不再那么生龙活虎,失去朋友的他伤心地连身上的鳞片也开始片片剥落。

我看过一个这首歌的评论“The lost innocence",PUFF是龙的名字,又是一个象声词,形容一整烟雾,很快消散,孩子的名字叫做Jackie Paper,Jackie是欧美一个很大众的名字,Paper是白纸,一张白纸很容易染上任何一种颜色,当孩子慢慢长大的时候,他就需要更多物质的的东西,自然他也就不会在喜欢PUFF了,而PUFF在没有了孩子想象力支撑的时候,只能象烟雾一样消失掉了。
