And it's clear that no one will ever 而且很显然，没有人会

Sing them quite the way I do 他们唱的很我的方式

I think tonight I'll sit down and write 我想今晚我会坐下来写

A heartfelt line or two 一种发自内心的两行

And if they turn out good enough 如果他们练得不够好

I owe every word to you 我欠的每一个字给你

   

To the kid I thought was a little too young 为了孩子我觉得有点太年轻

To know what sadness was 要知道什么是忧伤

Who took me out when I was down 谁带我出来的时候我下来

And set out to find the cause 并着手寻找原因

And to the tough guy blonde with the front tooth gone 而到了硬汉金发的门牙不见了

And ships all over his chest 和船只都在他的胸前

Who approached me out on the promenade 谁找我出去长廊

Of the beach heading into the west 沙滩上的标题进入西

His friends lay around on the muscleman lawn 他的朋友躺在身边的打手草坪

Like a drunken pirate band 像醉酒的海盗乐队

To the man and the woman who threw me a glance 对男人和女人谁扔我一眼
