歌词
While hollywood sleeps,
好莱坞陷入沉睡
A young man is dying
年轻人奄奄一息
On the concrete of a sidewalk downtown.
跌倒市中心人行道的水泥地上
As his brother weeps,
他的兄弟低声抽泣
The sirens come calling
汽笛声由远及近
And the medics feed him lines on the ground.
医护人员在地上给他喂药
And they say he's too young to surrender
他们说他朝气蓬勃 岂能撒手人寰
And they cry out, and they call him by name.
他们呼天吁地
Their graffiti tells how he's remembered.
他们随手起笔 记录下他被人记住的瞬间
Still, the River runs on just the same.
河水还是照旧流淌
Run River, run.
奔流不止
导演发言
The director speaks,
摄影机在转动
The cameras are rolling.
一个男孩站在背景和灯光之间
A boy steps between the backdrop and the lights.
他在抢镜头
And he's stealing the scene,
全组人为他作证
With the crew as his witness.
整个行业都会在奥斯卡之夜对他评头论足
The whole industry will judge him come academy night
他们说他后生可畏 不能一命呜呼
Now they say he's too young to surrender
他们大声疾呼
And they cry out, and they call him by name
他们大笔一挥 记录下他被人记起的过程
Their graffiti tells how he's remembered
河水还是照常不壅
Still, the River runs on just the same
滚滚东流
Run River, run...
街头小报胡言乱语
像机将重现他的坠落过程
Now the tabloids will say what they want to,
他的遗产在诉说，但无人能听见
And the cameras will re-enact his fall.
他的死使所有人都成了批评家
His legacy speaks, but no one can hear it,
他的遗产在密室里低语
'cause his death has made critics of us all.
在大录音室里宣扬
成年累月，如同情侣间喃喃的蜜语
His legacy speaks, in the canister rooms,
还有那些根本不认识他的人
In the archives of great studio halls.
他们说他风华正茂 却英年早逝
And there it will keep like a secret that's whispered between lovers
他的名字 一呼百应
And those who never knew him at all.
街头墙角的涂鸦 记录下他如何铭记
And they say he's too young to surrender
只有河水还是照样奔腾
And they cry out, and they call him by name
波涛汹涌
Their graffiti tells how he's remembered
Still, the River runs on just the same
Run River, run...
