歌词
I am 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 squandered my resistance
我曾花费太多心力
for a pocketful of mumbles,
应付那些无谓的闲言碎语
such are promises.
还有一些承诺
All lies and jest.
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
Mmm.......
Mmm.......
当我离开故乡
When I left my home
以及我的家人
and my 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
running scared.
伏低身子
只为了寻找到一个简陋的住所
Laying low,
那些衣衫褴褛的人们出入的角落
seeking out the poorer quarters
寻找只有他们
where the ragged people go.
才知道的地方
Looking for the places
only they would know.
Lie-la-lie.....
只求有工人的薪资
Lie-la-lie.....
我四处寻找工作
却一无所获
Asking only workman's wages,
只有
I come looking for a job
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
当我
on Seventh Avenue.
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.
Lie-la-lie.....
后来我开始
整理冬天的衣物
盼望自己早已离开
回到家去
Lie-la-lie.....
纽约的冬天
Lie-la-lie.....
也无法让我血泪斑驳
指引我
Then I'm laying out
回到家去
my winter clothes
空地上站著一位拳击手
and wishing I was gone.
和一位职业的战士
Going home,
他心里记着每一次教训
where the New York City winters
每一个将他击倒
aren't bleeding me.
或使他痛苦哀号的手套
Leading me
在愤怒与羞愧中
going home.
他喊着 我快要离开这里了
然而，战士依然在那儿等著他
In the clearing stands a boxer,
and a fighter by his trade.
And he carries the reminders
of ev'ry glove that laid him down
or cut him till he cried out.
In his anger and his shame,
I am leaving, I am leaving.
But the fighter still remains.
Mmm............
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
