This Little Bird - Monsters of Rock
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
只为换取几句含糊承诺
Such are promises
这就是所谓的诺言
All lies and jest
尽是谎言与戏谑
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
但人总是选择听想听的话
And disregards the rest
对其余充耳不闻
When I left my home
当我离开家乡
And my family
告别亲人
I was no more than a boy
那时我还年少
In the company of strangers
在陌生人群中
In the quiet of the railway station
在寂静的车站里
Running scared
惶恐不安
Laying low
躲躲藏藏
Seeking out the poorer quarters
寻找贫民窟的庇护
Where the ragged people go
在衣衫褴褛的人群中穿行
Looking for the places
寻找着那些
Only they would know
只有他们知晓的角落
Lie-la-lie
Asking only workman's wages
只求一份微薄的工钱
I come looking for a job
我来寻找工作
But I get no offers
却无人问津
Just a come-on from the whores
只有风尘女子的搭讪
On seventh avenue
在第七大道上
I do declare
我不得不承认
There were times when I was so lonesome
曾几何时我如此孤独
I took some comfort there
只能在那里寻找慰藉
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
整理着冬衣时
And wishing I was gone
只盼能早日离去
Going home
踏上归途
Where the new york city winters
逃离纽约城的寒冬
Aren't bleeding me
不再让我流血
Leading him
指引着他
Going home
踏上归途
In the clearing stands a boxer
空地上站着一位拳击手
And a fighter by his trade
以战斗为生的人
And he carries the reminders
他带着每一只拳套留下的印记
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
那些曾将他击倒的痕迹
Or cut him till he cried out
或是打得他痛哭求饶的伤痕
In his anger and his shame
带着愤怒与耻辱
I am leaving I am leaving
我要离开 我要离开
But the fighter still remains
但战士仍在坚守
