Written by:Paul Simon
I am just a poor boy
我只是个贫穷的男孩
Though my story's seldom told
尽管我的故事鲜为人知
I have squandered my resistance
我已耗尽了我的抵抗
For a pocketful of mumbles
只为换取口袋里的低语
Such are ppromises
这就是所谓的承诺
All lies and jest
全是谎言与戏谑
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
人总是听他想听的
And disregards the rest
而忽略其余的一切
When I left my home
当我离开家乡
And my family
和我的家人
I was no more than a boy
我还只是个孩子
In the company of strangers
在陌生人群中
In the quiet of the railway station
在寂静的火车站
Running scared
恐惧地奔跑
Laying low
低调潜行
Seeking out the poorer quarters
寻找贫民区
Where the ragged people go
在衣衫褴褛的人群中穿行
Looking for the place only they would know
寻找着只有他们知晓的归宿
Asking only workman's wages
只求一份工人的薪水
I come looking for a job

But I get no offers
却无人问津
Just a come-on from the whores
只有第七大道上妓女的诱惑
On Seventh Avenue
在第七大道上
I do declare
我郑重声明
There were times when I was so lonesome
有时我孤独难耐
I took some comfort there
在那里寻求一丝慰藉
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
然后我整理冬装
And wishing I was gone
心中渴望离开
Going home
回家
Where the New York city winters
逃离纽约的寒冬
Aren't bleeding me
他们并未让我流血
Leading me leading me
引导我 引导我
Going home
回家
In the clearing stands a boxer
在空地上站着一位拳击手
And a fighter by his trade
他以战斗为生
And he carries the reminders
他带着每一只拳套的印记
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
那些曾将他击倒的拳套
Or cut him till he cried out
或是将他打得痛哭的拳套
In his anger and his shame
在他的愤怒与羞愧中
I am leaving I am leaving
我即将离开 我即将离开
But the fighter still remains
但那位斗士依然坚守
