It hardly seems a long time just a minute of the day 这似乎很难长时间一天只需一分钟

When the man who stood beside me more than gave himself away 当谁站在我旁边的人多了马脚

The food stain on his spotted shirt a gray beard on his face 在他的斑点衫的食物染色灰色胡子在他的脸上

A man composed of many names so I just called him Ace 一个人许多名字组成的，所以我只是叫他王牌

   

Ace can't read and Ace can't write and 王牌不能读取和王牌不能写，

He sleeps on a bench at night 他睡在一张凳子，晚上

A little man the world has left behind 一个小男人的世界留下

He ain't bitter he ain't sweet 他不苦，他的瓜不甜

Makes his living on the street 使他流落街头

Never knowin' what he's gonna find 从来没有深深地知道什么他会找到

   

Born in Mississippi pickin' cotton as a child 出生于密西西比州再找棉质作为一个孩子

Left soon for the city where he heard that life was wild 很快就离开了城市，他听说的生活是野生

That was fifty years ago when nothin's really strange 这是五十年前，当什么也没真的怪

From a poor dirt farm to dirty streets is really not much change 从一个贫穷农家的污垢弄脏街道真的是没有太大的变化

   

Ace can't read and Ace can't write and 王牌不能读取和王牌不能写，

He sleeps on a bench at night 他睡在一张凳子，晚上

A little man the world has left behind 一个小男人的世界留下

He ain't bitter he ain't sweet 他不苦，他的瓜不甜

Makes his living on the street 使他流落街头

Never knowin' what he's gonna find 从来没有深深地知道什么他会找到

   

Go back to the country no he really can't do that 回到国内没有他真的不能这样做

Wasted years have left him nothin' but an old straw hat 虚度年华都留下了他什么也不是一个古老的草帽

So he puts it on his head and waves a last good-bye 于是，他把它放在他的头部和波的最后告别

With no time left to turn around and no time to ask why 由于没有时间去转一圈，也没有时间问为什么

   

Ace can't read and Ace can't write and 王牌不能读取和王牌不能写，

He sleeps on a bench at night 他睡在一张凳子，晚上

A little man the world has left behind 一个小男人的世界留下

He ain't bitter he ain't sweet 他不苦，他的瓜不甜

Makes his living on the street 使他流落街头

Never knowin' what he's gonna find 从来没有深深地知道什么他会找到

   

This old world has left poor Ace behind 这个旧世界留下可怜的王牌背后
