Title :The Boxer
我只是個窮光蛋
I am just a poor boy
我的故事鮮有人說
though my story's seldom told.
我曾花費太多心力
I have squandered my resistance
應付那些無謂的閒言碎語
for a pocketful of mumbles,
還有一些承諾
such are promises.
一切都是謊言與玩笑
All lies and jest.
人們總是聽他想要聽的
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
而忽略了其他
and disregards the rest.
Mmm.......
Mmm.......
當我離開故鄉
When I left my home
以及我的家人
and my family.
我不再是個孩童
I was no more than a boy.
在陌生的人群裡
In the company of strangers,
在寂靜的站台上
in the quiet of the railway station
驚惶的奔跑
running scared.
伏低身子
Laying low,
只為了尋找到一個簡陋的住所
seeking out the poorer quarters
那些衣衫襤褸的人們出入的角落
where the ragged people go.
尋找只有他們
Looking for the places
才知道的地方
only they would know.
[01:02.25]Lie-la-lie.....
Asking only workman's wages,
只求有工人的薪資
I come looking for a job
我四處尋找工作
but I get no offers.
卻一無所獲
Just a come -on from the whores
只有
on Seventh Avenue.
第七大街的妓女肯收留我
I do declare,
我敢這麼說
there were times
當我
when I was so lonesome
孤獨無依的時候
I took some comfort there.
我從那兒得到不少慰藉
Lie-la-lie.....

Lie-la-lie.....
Lie-la-lie.....
Then I'm laying out
後來我開始
my winter clothes
整理冬天的衣物
and wishing I was gone.
盼望自己早已離開
Going home,
回到家去
where the New York City winters
紐約的冬天
aren't bleeding me.
也無法讓我血淚斑駁
Leading me
指引我
going home.
回到家去
In the clearing stands a boxer,
空地上站著一位拳擊手
and a fighter by his trade.
和一位職業的戰士
And he carries the reminders
他心裡記著每一次教訓
of ev'ry glove that laid him down
每一個將他擊倒
or cut him till he cried out.
或使他痛苦哀號的手套
In his anger and his shame,
在憤怒與羞愧中
'I am leaving, I am leaving.'
他喊著我快要離開這裡了
But the fighter still remains.
然而,戰士依然在那兒等著他
Mmm............
