歌词与中文翻译
Like a bird on the wire
电线上的那只鸟儿似我
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
午夜呜咽的醉汉似我
I have tried in my way to be free
我依靠自己找寻自由
Like a worm on a hook
钓钩上的蠕虫似我
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
我也像旧时小说里的骑士
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
会保存下绶带留给你
If I, if I have been unkind
若我变得冷血无情
I hope that you can just let it go by
我希望你视而不见
If I, if I have been untrue
若我变得三心二意
I hope you know it was never to you
我希望你知道 你才是我永生挚爱
Like a baby, stillborn
落地的新生儿 夭折
Like a beast with his horn
长角的野兽 嘶吼着
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
所有企图占有我的人 也会被我亲手掩埋
But I swear by this song
对你许下诺言 谱写成这首歌
And by all that I have done wrong
我曾铸成大错
I will make it all up to thee
今后都将一一弥补你
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
一个乞丐拄着木头拐杖 从我身边路过
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
他对我说: 不要欲求不满
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door

She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
冲我喊到: 为何不追求更多
Oh like a bird on the wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir
午夜呜咽的醉汉似我
I have tried in my way to be free
我自知如何寻得自由
