歌词
我16岁那年，活得不羁放纵
When I turned 16 I was furious and restless
剪了头太妹的发型，买机票飞去了巴黎
Got a chancy girl haircut and a plane ticket to Paris
我和潘西住在一块儿，他在第七区有一个录音室
I stayed there with Pansy, he had a studio in the seventh
他的恋人因病去世，我就睡在他身旁
Lost his lover to a sickness, I slept beside him in his bed
就在那时我邂逅了南希，她过着吉普赛式的生活
That's when I met Nancy, she was smoking on a gipsy
她打过鼻环，她的双眼如月亮石般变幻莫测
She had a ring in her nose and her eyes were changing like moonstones
她对我说，“打开心房吧，晚熟的小姑娘，你会活得更快乐
She said "Open up late bloomer, it will make you smile
我能看见你心中的火苗在燃烧。”
I can see that fire burning, in you little child."
南希来自波士顿，她身边总不缺麻烦
Nancy came from Boston, she got in trouble very often
她的父母早就把她遗忘，所以她万事都靠自己
Cause her parents had forgotten her, she would skate over the pond
她正在寻找一首歌的作者，那首歌曾让她浑身颤抖
She was searching for the writer of a song that made her shiver
她用Walkman的磁带一遍遍将它播放
She listened over and over on a Walkman cassette
她对我说，“晚熟的小姑娘，你随我来吧
She said "Come with me late bloomer, for a little while,
我想看见你心中的火苗熊熊燃烧。”
I wanna see that fire burning, in you little child."
我怎能拒绝她呢，我一直渴望有个姐姐
我还想吻她，但我没那么做
How could I resist her, I had longed for a big sister
我们找到了那个作者，他不过是个波士顿来的小子
And I wanted to kiss her, but I hadn't done that
看到他们两个热切交谈，我不由得妒火中烧
We found the writer, he was just some kid from Boston
但那个男人哪里有魅力，他长得又不像阿多尼斯（希腊神话中的美男子）
I was jealous as I watched him talking to her
而且就跟南希说的一样，他胖得像个铅块
But man he's not astonished, didn't look like no Adonis
他对我说，“晚熟的小姑娘，跟我们一起来吧，
But as Nancy had promised, he was heavy as led
我们想感受你心中燃烧的火焰。”
And he said "Come with us late bloomer, for a little while,
坦白地说吧，我必须拥有她
We wanna feel that fire burning, in you little child."
但在那时，我不介意与这个男人一块分享
Give me my candor, but I just had to have her
他一言不发，一路骑回了第七区
And at the time I didn't mind sharing with him
我答应她会给她写信，但却从未下笔
We rode in silence, all the way back to the seventh
还记得她对我说，“再回了，晚熟的小姑娘，有缘再见吧
And I promised I'd write her but I never did
你要让心中那团火苗燃烧下去啊。”
And she said "Au revoir, late bloomer, for a little while,
You gotta keep that fire burning, in you little child."
