写一首歌吧，歌颂那遥远的加利福尼亚，他说。

而我却想为他写一首歌
Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood hill
此时此刻，我翘首坐在好莱坞的山丘上
Can't think of a single thing to sing about this place,
头脑如此空荡，不知从何说起
Maybe I never will
也许我江郎才尽了
But I'm thinkin' bout you still.
哦，我的心神依然由你占据着
Walking down Sunset Boulevard
漫步在暮光下的日落大道
Never thought writing a song about some place could be this hard

With you, I don't know where to start.
因为有远方的你令我惦记着
Here's to the boy
这首歌献给我的男孩
Who keeps me up all night,

Who sings exactly right,
他有着完美又嘹亮，沁人心底的歌喉
And never lets me know
却从未令我发觉

这首歌献给我的男孩
The one with the bright eyes,
他有着清澈又烔亮，沁人心底的明眸
Who makes me realize,
他曾令我恍然大悟
I got a long long way to go to California.
我虽身在加州，心早已置于那千万里之外
Now I am standing on this pier
而现在我踱步于吱吱喳喳的木板码头
With all the sights and sounds of Santa Monica still ringing in my ears.
圣莫妮卡的秀色尽收眼底，人行、鸥鸣、波浪依稀飘荡在耳畔
I'm wishing you were here.
如此渴望你也在身边
Write a song about California he said.
给我写一首关于加州的歌吧！他日复一日的期待着

Sunsets a backdown venus beach.
似火余晖点燃温情烁烁的维纳斯海滩
Famous names that wrap my feet.
星光大道的熠熠丽名拥簇着我的步伐
Downscale folks with upscale parties
挥洒淳朴洋溢的乡情 赶往灯红酒绿的聚会
Let's do lunch, let's do pilate's
奔向芬香腾扑的午餐 同做舒展身心的普拉提
Wasting minds for perfect bodies
