歌词
I am just a poor boy
我只是一个穷小子
Though my story's seldom told
虽然我的故事鲜为人知
I have squandered my resistance
我已经失去了自我
For a pocketful of mumbles
说不完的悄悄话
Such are promises
好像是一句承诺
All lies and jests
所有的谎言和笑话
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
但任有人在倾听
And disregards the rest
无他
当我踏上远方的征程
When I left my home and my family
我已不是原来的我
I was no more than a boy
涌入陌生的人潮
In the company of strangers
在安静的车站中
In the quiet of the railway station
我内心惶惶
Running scared
默默的寻找着贫苦之地
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
衣衫褴褛的人去往之处
Where the ragged people go
寻找那唯一的桃源
Looking for the places only they would know
谎言如此
利益熏心
Lie la lie...
我寻找着工作
但我无处可去
Asking only workman's wages
就像一个来到第七大道的女子
I come looking for a job
的确有段时间我非常孤独
But I get no offers
我在这儿找到了安慰
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
谎言如此
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
我装上深厚的伪装
I took some comfort there
希望我就此离去
回到故乡
Lie la lie...
在一个纽约冬天没有流血之处
指引我找到回家的路
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
傲立的拳击手
And wishing I was gone
和他的对手
Going home
他带着这份执着
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me,
将对手一次次击倒
Leading me, going home.
将对手一次次打趴
于愤怒和羞愧之中
In the clearing stands a boxer
他已离去
And a fighter by his trade
但对手没有消失
And he carries the reminders
谎言如此
Of every 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
Lie la lie
