歌词
I was raised up believing
儿时起我便坚信
I was somehow unique
自己有独特之处
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
像一片出众的雪花
Unique in each way you can see
每一个角度都是与众不同
And now after some thinking
现在,考虑过后
I'd say I'd rather be
我想我宁愿当
A functioning cog in some great machinery
大机械中运作一个齿轮
Serving something beyond me
为某些非我能理解的东西服务
But I don't, I don't know what that will be
但我不知道之后会发生什么
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
有一天我会回到你身边,很快你就会看见
What's my name, what's my station
我名为何,身归何处
Oh just tell me what I should do
就告诉我该去做什么吧
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night
我不需要对夜幕下的军队仁慈
That would do such injustice to you
那样对你是多么的不公啊
Or bow down and be grateful
也不需跪下表示感激
And say "Sure take all that you see"
还说“好的,想要什么都拿走”
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls
向着那在暗厅里行走
And determine my future for me
却决定我未来的人
And I don't, I don't know who to believe
我不知道该去相信谁
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
有一天我会回到你身边,很快你就会看见
If I know only one thing
如果有一件事我是确定的
It's that every thing that I see
那就是我看到的
Of the world outside is so inconceivable
这世界上的一切都是如此不可想象
Often I barely can speak
我时常失语
Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy
我语塞,头晕目眩
And I can't keep it to myself
我不能将这些憋在心里
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
唱这首无助的布鲁斯有什么用么?
Why should I wait for anyone else?
我为什么要等待任何人?
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
我知道,知道你会把我束之高阁
I'll come back to you someday soon myself
有一天我会回到你身边,以真我的身份
If I had an orchard
如果我有一座果园
I'd work till I'm raw
我会劳作到皮肤擦伤
If I had an orchard
如果我有一座果园
I'd work till I'm sore
我会劳作到浑身酸痛
And you would wait tables
你会去当服务员
And soon run the store
不久就成为经理
Gold hair in the sunlight
阳光下的金发
My light in the dawn
我黎明的曙光
If I had an orchard
如果我有果园
I'd work till I'm sore
我会劳作到浑身酸痛
If I had an orchard
如果我有果园
I'd work till I'm sore
我会劳作到筋疲力竭
Someday I'll be
有一天我会
Like the man on the screen
像上电视的人一样
