Stars (Live at Montreux)
Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow
那些星星來來往往，時而快，時而慢
They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze
他們離開的時候就像太陽的最後一縷燃燒的光芒
And all you see is glory
留給人們的總是閃耀的一面
Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one there to share
嘿，但是當身邊沒有人與它分享的時候，它就會變得寂寞
We can shake it away if you'll hear a story
如果你願意聽這個故事的話，就可以擺脫這些
People lust for fame like athletes in a game
人們奢求名利就像運動員在賽場上渴望勝利
They break their collarbones and come up swinging
他們不惜一切拼了命向上爬，跌跌撞撞
Some of them are crowned
其中一些人加官加冕
Some of them are downed and some are lost and never found
一些人跌入谷底，被人遺忘，從未再出現
But most have seen it all
大多數的人都看到了這一切
They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
他們活在瀰漫著悲傷的咖啡廳和音樂會中
And they always have a story
他們都有故事
Some make it when they're young
有些發生在他們年輕的時候
Before the world has done its dirty job
在世界雜亂無章的時候
And later on someone will say
後來人們就會說
You've had your day now you must make way
雖然你曾光鮮一時，但現在該妥協了
Don't they always
沒有人長盛不衰
But you'll never know the pain of using a name you never owned
你永遠不知道為了一個從未有過的名字活著是多麼痛苦
Years of forgetting what you know too well
時間過去，你漸漸淡忘
That you who gave the crown have been let down
那個曾經發光發亮的人已經漸漸謝幕
You try to make amends without defending
你千方百計放下防備去彌補
Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of young men at twenty five
也許你以前躲避二十五歲的年輕人的眼睛
That followed as you walk and asked for autographs
這些跟著你和你要簽名的人
Or kissed you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you
還有親過你臉頰的人，你永遠不會相信他們真正喜歡你
Some make it when they're old
有些人直到老的時候才明白
Perhaps they have a soul they aren't afraid to bare
或許他們有不畏世事的靈魂
Perhaps there's nothing there
或許他們一無是處
But anyway that isn't what I meant to say
但這並非我想說的
I meant to tell about a story
我很講一個故事
Because we all have stories
因為人人皆有故事
I can't remember it anyway
我記不太清
So I'll tell about the mood that's in the United States today
所以我會告訴你今天美國是怎樣的
And permanenting even Switzerland
瑞士是怎樣的
It goes
將來會怎樣
But I continue away until I get it together
在我沒有鼓起勇氣的時候我依舊會選擇離開
Some women have a body men will want to see
有些女人的身材令男人愛慕不以
And so they put it on display
所以她們走上T台
Some people play a fine guitar I could listen to them play all day
有些人吉他彈得好，我可以聽一整天
But anyway I'm trying to tell my story
我在盡全力向人們講述我的故事
Janis Ian told it very well
Janis Ian說這個故事很不錯
Janis Joplin told it even better
Janis Joplin 說講的太好了
Billie holiday even told it even better
Billie Holiday說你講的越來越好了
We always we always we always have a story
人人啊皆有故事

我最近聽到的故事
That I'm supposed to go out with
