Early Days

They cant take it from me if they try
不管怎麼樣，都沒有人能夠
I lived through those early days
奪走我以前的歲月
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
太多次的強顏歡笑
Just to keep from getting crazed
只為遠離痛楚
Dressed in black from head to toe
還記得我倆穿了一身黑行頭
Two guitars across our backs
一人背著一把吉他
We would walk the city roads
穿街過市
Seeking someone who would listen to the music
尋找知音
That we were writing down at home
沉醉於我們在家中寫的小曲
But they cant take it from me if they try
不管怎麼樣，都沒有人能夠
I lived through those early days
奪走我以前的歲月
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
太多次的強顏歡笑
Just to keep from getting crazy
只為遠離痛楚
Hair slicked back with vaseline
將頭髮用髮膠收拾的妥帖
Like the pictures on the wall
就像海報上的明星
Of the local record shop
貼在唱片舖裡
Hearing noises we were destined to remember
聽著我們終生難忘的“噪音”
We willed the thrill to never stop
決定，從不停止

也許那些美好回憶
May sweet memories of friends from the past
每每想起，總會令人動容
Always come to you, when you look for them
希望你的靈感之泉，永不枯竭
And your inspiration, long may it last
一次次探訪你
May it come to you, time and time again
當今世界，誰都有話語權

對我們說三道四
Now everybody seems to have their own opinion
在我看來，他們只能嘴上說說
Who did this and who did that
卻永遠看不見過去的我們
But as for me I dont see how they can remember
不管怎麼樣，都沒有人能夠
When they werent where it was at
奪走我以前的歲月
And they cant take it from me if they try
太多次的強顏歡笑
I lived through those early days
只為遠離痛楚
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
我過去的時光！
Just to keep from getting crazed
我過去的時光！
I lived through those early days
I lived through those early days
