The Boxer (デビュー40周年 スペシャルコンサート at 日本武道館) - THE ALFEE
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I am just a poor boy
我只是个穷小子
Though my story's seldom told
尽管我的故事鲜为人知
I have squandered my resistance
我已耗尽所有抵抗
For a pocketful of mumbles
只为换取几句含糊的承诺
Such are promises
那些空洞的誓言
All lies and jest
尽是谎言与戏谑
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
但人总是选择自己想听的
And disregards the rest
而对其他充耳不闻
When I left my home and my family
当我离开家乡与亲人
I was no more than a boy
不过是个懵懂少年
In the company of strangers
置身陌生人群之中
In the quiet of the railway station
在寂静的车站里
Running scared
惶惶不安
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters
藏身于破败的街区
Where the ragged people go
那里衣衫褴褛的人游荡
Looking for the places only they would know
寻找只有他们知晓的角落
Lie la lie
啦 啦 啦
Asking only workman's wages
只求微薄工钱度日
I come looking for a job
我四处寻找工作机会
But I get no offers
却无人愿意雇用
Just a come on from the whores on seventh avenue
只有第七大道的风尘女子对我抛来媚眼
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
我承认有时孤独难耐
I took some comfort there
也曾在那里寻求慰藉
Lie la lie
啦 啦 啦
Lie la lie
啦 啦 啦
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
我摊开冬日的衣衫
And wishing I was gone
渴望能离开这里
Going home
回到家乡
Where the New York city winters aren't bleeding me
那里没有纽约寒冬的刺痛
Leading me
指引着我
Going home
回到家乡
In the clearing stands a boxer
空地上站着一位拳击手
And a fighter by his trade
他以拳击为生
And he carries the remainders
身上残留着
Of every glove that laid him down
每副击倒他的拳套痕迹
And cut him till he cried out
割裂皮肉直至他哭喊
In his anger and his shame
在愤怒与屈辱中
I am leaving I am leaving
我要离开 我要离开
But the fighter still remains
但斗士之魂永不消散
Lie la lie
啦 啦 啦
