歌词
For Free （版）-The Byrds
I slept last night in a good hotel
昨夜我休憩于一间舒适的旅馆
I went shopping today for jewels
今天则去买了些珠宝
The wind rushed around the dirty time
涌动的风在这暗淡的时刻呼啸而过
And the children let out from their schools
孩子们纷纷从学校里出来
I was standing on a noisy corner
而我站在喧闹的街角
Waiting for the walking green
静静等待着绿灯
Across the street he stood
以便穿过街道来到他面前
And he played real good
那人免费地演奏着
On his clarinet for free
美妙的音乐从他的竖笛中流淌而出
Now me I play for fortune
我则只为了财富才表演
And those velvet curtain calls
在那些华美的天鹅绒幕布前谢幕
I 've got a black limousine
也拥有着豪华的黑色轿车
And two ladies
会有两位年轻美丽的女士
Escorting me to the halls
相伴着我走进金碧辉煌的大厅
And I play if you have the money
只要你付钱，或者你是我所谓的朋友
Or if you 're a friend to me
我都将为你演奏
But the one man band
但他独自一人
By the quick lunch stand
就站在那卖着廉价午饭的小摊旁
He was playing real good for free
他别无所求
Nobody stopped to hear him
这优美的音乐却无人驻足倾听
Though he played so sweet and high
他演奏得如此激昂投入
They knew he had never
但世人都知道
Been on the tv screen
他永远也不会出现在电视里
So they passed his music by
所以人们都只是匆匆离去
I meant to go over and ask for a song
我想走上前请他为我演奏一首歌
Maybe put on a harmony
也许我们能合奏一曲
I heard his refrain
当信号灯终于改变时
As the signal changed
我听见了他的副歌
He was still playing real good for free
他依然在免费地演奏，别无所求
