Title :The Boxer

我只是个穷光蛋
I am just a poor boy
我的故事鲜有人说
though my story's seldom told.
我曾花费太多心力
I have squandered my resistance
应付那些无谓的闲言碎语
for a pocketful of mumbles,
还有一些承诺
such are promises.
一切都是谎言与玩笑
All lies and jest.
人们总是听他想要听的
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
而忽略了其他
and disregards the rest.
Mmm.......
Mmm.......
当我离开故乡

以及我的家人
When I left my home
我不再是个孩童
and my family.
在陌生的人群里
I was no more than a boy.
在寂静的站台上
In the company of strangers,
惊惶的奔跑
in the quiet of the railway station
伏低身子
running scared.
只为了寻找到一个简陋的住所

那些衣衫褴褛的人们出入的角落
Laying low,
寻找只有他们
seeking out the poorer quarters
才知道的地方
where the ragged people go.
Looking for the places
only they would know.
只求有工人的薪资
[01:02.25]Lie-la-lie.....
我四处寻找工作

却一无所获
Asking only workman's wages,
只有
I come looking for a job
第七大街的妓女肯收留我
but I get no offers.
我敢这么说
Just a come-on from the whores
当我
on Seventh Avenue.
孤独无依的时候
I do declare,
我从那儿得到不少慰藉
there were times
when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.
Lie-la-lie.....

后来我开始
Lie-la-lie.....
整理冬天的衣物
Lie-la-lie.....
盼望自己早已离开

回到家去
Then I'm laying out
纽约的冬天
my winter clothes
也无法让我血泪斑驳
and wishing I was gone.
指引我
Going home,
回到家去
where the New York City winters
空地上站著一位拳击手
aren't bleeding me.
和一位职业的战士
Leading me
他心里记着每一次教训
going home.
每一个将他击倒

或使他痛苦哀号的手套
In the clearing stands a boxer,
在愤怒与羞愧中
and a fighter by his trade.
他喊着 我快要离开这里了
And he carries the reminders
然而，战士依然在那儿等著他
of ev'ry glove that laid him down
or cut him till he cried out.
In his anger and his shame,
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
But the fighter still remains.
Mmm............
