Written by:Paul Simon
I am just a poor boy
我只是个可怜的男孩
Though my story's seldom told
虽然我的故事很少被人提起
I have squandered my resistance
我已经失去抵抗的能力
For a pocketful of mumbles
为了一口袋胡言乱语
Such are ppromises
这些都是承诺
All lies and jest
所有的谎言和玩笑
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
男人还是会听到他想听的话
And disregards the rest
对其他人不屑一顾
When I left my home
当我离开家
And my family
还有我的家人
I was no more than a boy
我只是个小男孩
In the company of strangers
和陌生人在一起
In the quiet of the railway station
在火车站的静谧中
Running scared
害怕逃跑
Laying low
保持低调
Seeking out the poorer quarters
寻找更穷的地方
Where the ragged people go
衣衫褴褛的人该何去何从
Looking for the place only they would know
寻找一个只有他们知道的地方
Asking only workman's wages
只想要工人的工资
I come looking for a job
我来找工作
But I get no offers
但我没有收到邀请
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
在第七大道
I do declare
我郑重宣布
There were times when I was so lonesome
有时我感到孤独寂寞
I took some comfort there
我得到了些许安慰
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
然后我把冬天的衣服摆出来
And wishing I was gone
希望我离开
Going home
回家
Where the New York city winters
那里是纽约的冬天
Aren't bleeding me
不会伤害我
Leading me leading me
引领我引领我
Going home
回家
In the clearing stands a boxer
一个拳击手站在空地上
And a fighter by his trade
他的职业是战士
And he carries the reminders
他随身带着提醒
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
让他倒地不起的手套
Or cut him till he cried out
或者伤害他直到他大声尖叫
In his anger and his shame
在他的愤怒和耻辱中
I am leaving I am leaving
我要离去
But the fighter still remains
但战士依然在
