[第1节]
这块菜地需要一张表格。
表格有三页。
第三页问
我打算种什么。
我写蔬菜。
表格退回来。
请具体说明。
[第2节]
我写土豆、豆子、羽衣甘蓝。
表格再次退回来。
请注明品种。
我不知道品种。
种子在一个纸袋里
我父亲去世前给我的。
袋子没有写。
[副歌]
一小块地。
一张长表格。
软土。
硬铅笔。
[第3节]
我写未知传承。
表格被接受。
我收到一个号码。
号码在一根标桩上
我把它按进土里。
标桩比植物高。
标桩是白色塑料。
[第4节]
隔壁地块的一个男人
已经在这里多年。
他种同样的东西。
他不填表。
他说他从来不填。
他说没人来。
他说得像警告。
[副歌]
一小块地。
一张长表格。
软土。
硬铅笔。
[最终节]
种子埋进去。
标桩留在上面。
袋子空了。
我留下袋子。

原版英文歌词

[Verse 1]
The allotment needs a form.
The form has three pages.
The third page asks
what I intend to grow.
I write vegetables.
The form returns.
Please specify.

[Verse 2]
I write potatoes, beans, kale.
The form returns again.
Please indicate variety.
I don't know the variety.
The seeds are in a paper bag
my father gave me before he died.
The bag does not say.

[Hook]
A small plot.
A long form.
Soft soil.
Hard pencil.

[Verse 3]
I write unknown heritage.
The form is accepted.
I receive a number.
The number is on a stake
I push into the ground.
The stake is taller than the plants.
The stake is white plastic.

[Verse 4]
A man on the next plot
has been here for years.
He grows the same things.
He doesn't fill in forms.
He says he never has.
He says nobody comes.
He says it like a warning.

[Hook]
A small plot.
A long form.
Soft soil.
Hard pencil.

[Final Verse]
The seeds go in.
The stake stays up.
The bag is empty.
I keep the bag.
