The Boxer

歌词

I am just a poor boy
我只是个穷小子
Though my story's seldom told 
我很少讲我的故事
I have squandered my resistance

For a pocketful of mumbles 
为了抱怨
Such are promises 
这样的承诺
All lies and jest 
所有的谎言和笑话
Still  a man hears what he wants to hear
一个人仍然可以听到他想听到的
And disregards the rest 
忘掉过去
Mmm       
   
Mmm       
   
When I left my home
当我离开我的家乡
And my family 
和家人
I was no more than a boy 
我不再是男孩了
In the company of strangers 
与陌生人同行
In the quiet of the railway station
在寂静的火车站
Running scared 
战战兢兢
Laying low 
躺下
Seeking out the poorer quarters
寻找栖身之处
Where the ragged people go 
流浪的人在哪里
Looking for the places
找寻栖身之地
Only they would know 
只有他们知道
Lie-la-lie     
   
Lie-la-lie     
   
Asking only workman's wages 
找寻工人的工作
I come looking for a job
我来这儿寻找工作
But I get no offers 
但我什么也没找到
Just a come-on from the whores
除了在第七大道
On Seventh Avenue 
出卖身体
I do declare 
我宣称
There were times
还有时间
When I was so lonesome
当我寂寞的时候
I took some comfort there 
我在这里寻求一些慰藉
Lie-la-lie     
   
Lie-la-lie     
   
Lie-la-lie     
   
Then I'm laying out
然后我重新裁剪
My winter clothes

And wishing I was gone 
希望我能离开
Going home 
回到家
Where the New York City winters
纽约的这个冬天
Aren't bleeding me 
不会冻僵我
Leading me

Going home

In the clearing stands a boxer 
远处站着一个拳击手
And a fighter by his trade 
还有一个搞贸易的战士
And he carries the reminders
他提醒了我
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
他的每副手套都有
Or cut him till he cried out

In his anger and his shame 
在他愤怒或耻辱的历史里
"I am leaving  I am leaving "

But the fighter still remains 
但战士仍在继续
Mmm            
   
Lie-la-lie              Lie-la-lie
   
Lie-la-lie              Lie-la-lie
   
Lie-la-lie              Lie-la-lie
   
Lie-la-lie              Lie-la-lie
   
Lie-la-lie              Lie-la-lie
   
Lie-la-lie              Lie-la-lie
   
Lie-la-lie              Lie-la-lie
   
Lie-la-lie              Lie-la-lie
