亡命之徒，你可知韶华不再
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
现实的打击和苦痛会让你回头
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
自由，无拘无束，那只是人们的遥远理想
Oh, you're a hard one
孑孓独行是你的褒奖也是困境（人人生而孤独）
I know that you got your reasons
脚踏冬日大地，你感觉到冷了吗？
These things that are pleasin' you
当冬雪不再夏阳黯淡四季混乱
Can hurt you somehow
当白天和黑夜无法分辨
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
不悲不喜你心如死灰
She'll beat you if she's able
再谈失去，难道不可笑吗？
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet
亡命之徒，为什么还不醒悟？
Now it seems to me, some fine things
卸掉盔甲，敞开心门
Have been laid upon your table
即便大雨，过后仍有彩虹
But you only want the ones that you can't get
追逐你的爱人去吧，为时还未算晚.....
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you(let somebody love you) before it's too late
