歌词
And for my opening line
我的开场白
I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind.
不是为了表明我的心态
I turn you on,
是为了激起你的兴趣
I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
我想告诉你，我大笑只是为了远离哭泣
And bringing music when you hear it,
而且带来音乐，当你听到它时
Keep on trying to get near it.
继续试着接近它吧
A little rhythm for your spirit
如你灵魂般的小小旋律
Oh but that's what it's for
对，这就是它的意义
Come on in, here's the door
进来吧，入口就在这里
And I've seen a sparrow get high
我看见一只欢快的麻雀
Wasting time in the sky
在空中消磨时光
He thinks it's easy to fly
他自认为能轻松自在的翱翔
He's just a little bit freer than I
他也不过是比我稍稍自由罢了
Down here on the ground
就坐在这里吧
When you find folks are giving you the runaround
当你发现人们在搪塞你
Get your game uptight
封紧你的游戏
And if you must just take your secrets underground
如果你必须死守你的秘密
Politicians are trying to speech you
政治家会试图说服你
Mad colour watchers are trying to teach you
疯狂的察言观色者会试图教导你
Very few will really try to reach you
但几乎没人会试图去靠近你
If you're lost in a stack
如果你在生活中迷失了自己
That's OK, come on back
没关系，回来吧
Now I'd be the last to deny
现在，我会是最后一个否认：
That I'm just an average guy
“我只是个普通人”
Each little bird in the sky
天空中的每只小鸟
Is just a little bit freer than I
不过是比我稍稍自由罢了
Say, ordinary Joe
和我一起说，平凡的Joe
Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
也许他们说，你不过是个懒惰的某某人
What they think is real
但他们眼里的真实
Is nothing but an animated puppet show
不过就是一场木偶秀而已
So don't let time and space confuse you
所以不要让时间和空间迷惑你
And don't let name and form abuse you
也不要让名誉和形式伤害你
Well let Big Joe Williams blues you
让伟大的Joe Williams为你唱Blues
In the light of the sun you can see how they run
在这阳光里，你能看到他们奔跑的姿态
Oh I've seen a sparrow get high
我看见一只欢快的麻雀
Wasting time in the sky
在空中消磨时光
He thinks it's easy to fly

He's just a little bit freer than I
他也不过是比我稍稍自由罢了
