See the lady 见小姐

Smiles as if to tell 笑容仿佛在告诉

Her son remembers everyone 她的儿子还记得大家

Treats 'em all quite well 黄柏时间都相当不错

He never asked for promises 他从来没有要求承诺

And now his fame is wide 而现在他的名气广

And everyone who knew him well shares a little pride 大家谁认识他分享一点点的骄傲

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Ain't he a genius? 他不是天才？

The boy's become a star 男孩的成为明星

And he smiles upon the faces 他微笑时脸上

Who wish they could go far 谁希望他们能走多远

   

Not long ago they criticized 前不久，他们批评

The genius only wrote 天才只写

And now they listen spellbound 而现在，他们听败兴而归

With lumps caught in their throats 随着肿块夹在他们的喉咙

   

His virtue was sheer poverty 他凭借纯粹是贫穷

His vice was reading plays 他的缺点是读剧本

While other children starved and fought 而其他的孩子挨饿，并争取

He learned just what to say 他学会了说什么

Through tension and confession 经过紧张和忏悔

He beat the monster down 他击败的怪物倒

Then surfaced in society no longer underground 然后，在社会上浮出水面不再地下

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Now they remember 现在，他们还记得

Talk only of his good 只讲自己的好

While jealousy flows in their veins 而嫉妒他们的血管里流

And says I wish I could 并说，我希望我能

   

Ain't he a genius? 他不是天才？
