歌词
A pilgrim on a pilgrimmage
朝圣路上的一个信徒
Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge
经过布鲁克林大桥的时候
His sneakers torn
发现鞋子磨破了，准备在这儿睡一会儿
In the hour when the homeless move their cardboard blankets
等到这个漂泊的人收起充当毯子的硬纸板时
And the new day is born
新的一天到来了
Folded in his backpack pocket
他把纸板折叠放进背包
The questions that he copied from his heart
那股迷惘又翻涌出来
Who Am I in this lonely world?
在这个孤独的世界里我算什么？
Where will I make my bed tonight?
今夜又在哪儿“铺床”
When twilight turns to dark
当黑暗侵袭了黄昏
Questions for the angels...
总提些祈求天使回应的问题
Who believes in angels?
笃信天使的信徒应该不多吧
Fools do...
或许只有天真的傻瓜
Fools and pilgrims all over the world
全世界伸长脖子亲吻天使的傻瓜信徒
If you shop for Love in a bargain store
傻是因为你怀揣希望走进廉价商店
And you don't get what you are bargain for...
付完钱觉得还是太贵了
Can you get your money back?
却指望要回你的钱
If an empty train in a railway station
傻是因为有趟几乎无人的安静火车
Calls you to its destination
准备带着你去目的地
Can you choose another track?
你会毫不犹豫地跳上去并因为自己赚到了而沾沾自喜
Will I wake up from these violent dreams?
我想从这写实得有点暴力的梦里醒过来
With my hair as white as the morning moon?
在头发花白得像清晨将消的月一样的年纪里
Questions for the angels...
喃喃地问着天使一些蠢问题
Who believes in angels?
天使的信徒不多
I do...
我想我应该是一个
Fools and pilgrims all over the world
伸长脖子亲吻天使的傻瓜信徒
Downtown Brooklyn
走到布鲁克林的闹市
The pilgrim is passing a bill-board
朝圣者经过了一块广告牌
And catches his eyes
很明显，他被上面展示的美好生活吸引了
It's Jay-Z
广告牌上的主角是Jay-Z
He's got a kid on each knee
膝盖上坐着两个惹人怜爱的孩子
He is wearing clothes that he wants us to try
他穿着他代言的精美服饰，朝圣者看得入迷了
If every human on the planet
如果地球上的每个人
And all the buildings in it
和每栋建筑
Should disappear
会消失的话
Would a zebra grazing in the african savana
斑马的栖息地还会只在非洲草原吗
Care enough to share
分担 one zebra tear? 人会去分担斑马的眼泪吗
Questions for the angels...
又抛给了天使一个蠢问题
