New York

In New York freedom looks like
在纽约
Too many choices
自由似乎有太多方式
In New York I found a friend
在纽约我找到一个朋友
To drown out the other voices
他可以淹没所有声响
Voices on a cell phone
那些电话铃声
Voices from home
生活的嘈杂
Voices of the hard sell
强买强卖的争吵
Voices down a stairwell
上下楼梯的脚步
In New York
在纽约
Just got a place in New York
我找到一方清净之地

在纽约，夏天很热
In New York summers get hot
高温难耐
Well into the hundreds
每走一条街，
You can't walk around the block
汗水就要浸湿衣衫
Without a change of clothing
炎热如同吹风机对着你直吹
Hot as a hair dryer in your face
炎热如同一只手袋或一罐豆蔻油
Hot as handbag and a can of mace
纽约
New York
我找到一方清净之地
I just got a place in New York
纽约纽约

你能够忘记
New York New York
忘记如何安静下来

你告诉自己你会静坐于家中
In New York you can forget
但不一会儿又到了幻觉之城
Forget how to sit still
纽约
Tell yourself you will stay in
纽约
But it's down to Alphaville
纽约

纽约
New York
爱尔兰祖先来到这里已经很久了

他们似乎已经拥有了这片土地
New York, New York
他们建造机场，市政厅

柏油马路
New York, New York
他们还有警察

爱尔兰人，意大利人，犹太人和西班牙人
New York
宗教狂热分子，亢奋的政客，统统混杂在这大酱缸里

他们有着和我们不同的快乐
The Irish been coming here for years
在这里我失去了你
Feel like they own the place
纽约
They got the airport, city hall
纽约
Asphalt, asphalt
纽约
They even got the police
纽约
Irish, Italians, Jews and Hispanics
纽约
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew
纽约
Happily not like me and you
在纽约我失去一切
That's where I lost you
你和你的罪恶
New York
我依然试图搞清楚
New York, New York
我的中年危机
New York
我遭遇到人生中的冰山
New York, New York
你知道我还没有沉没
New York
你失去了生命的平衡，失去了爱人

排队等待救生艇
New York
你必须把生命的希望先让给女人和孩子

但是你也有着无法抑制的渴望，就在纽约
In New York I lost it all
纽约
To you and your vices
纽约

纽约
Still I'm staying on to figure out
在静谧的夜
My midlife crisis
当太阳落下
I hit an iceberg in my life
我听到你在轻声低语
You know I'm still afloat
离开吧，就在此刻
You lose your balance, lose your wife
纽约
In the queue for the lifeboat
You got to put the women and children first
But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York

New York
New York

New York, New York

In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard your voice whispering
Come away now
New, New York

New...
New York

New York
