歌词
I'm just a poor boy
我只是个穷光蛋
Though my story's seldom told
我的故事鲜有人说
I have squadered my resistance
我曾花费太多心力
For a pocketful of numbles
应付那些无谓的闲言碎语
Such are promises, all lies and jest
还有一些承诺 一切都是谎言与玩笑
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
人们总是听他想要听的
And disregards the rest.
而忽略了其他
当我离开故乡以及我的家人
When i left my home and family
我不再是个孩童
I was no more than a boy
在陌生的人群里
In the company of strangers
在寂静的站台上
In the quiet of the railway station
惊惶的奔跑 伏低身子
Running scared, laying low
只为了寻找到一个简陋的住所
Seeking out the poorer quarters
那些衣衫褴褛的人们出入的角落
Where the ragged people go
寻找只有他们才知道的地方
Looking for the places only they would know.
lalala
只求有工人的薪资
我四处寻找工作
Asking only workman's wages
却一无所获
I come looking for a job
只有第七大街的妓女肯收留我
But i get no offers
我敢这么说
Just a come-on from the whores on seventh avenue
当我孤独无依的时候
I do declare
我从那儿得到不少慰藉
There were times when i was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.
后来我开始整理冬天的衣物
lalala
盼望自己早已离开 回到家去
纽约的冬天也无法让我血泪斑驳
Then i'm laying out my winter clothes
指引我
And wishing i was gone, going home
回到家去
Where the new york city winters aren't bleeding me
空地上站著一位拳击手
Leading me
和一位职业的战士
Going home.
他心里记着每一次教训
每一个将他击倒
In the clearing stands a boxer
或使他痛苦哀号的手套
And a fighter by his trade
在愤怒与羞愧中
And he carries the reminders
他喊着 我快要离开这里了 然而,战士依然在那儿等著他
Of every glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
i am leaving, i am leaving But the fighter still remains.
lalala
