In the earliest days of my shop-lifting career 在我的店里，提升职业生涯的初期，

You could safely say I was filled with fear 你可以放心地说，我充满了恐惧

It was nail-biting work from the very start 它从一开始咬指甲工作

But several quick successes soon gave me heart 但一些快速的成功很快给了我心脏

   

After a while I could pick and nick with ease 过了一会儿，我可以挑选和尼克轻松

Some shirts and trousers and a few LPs 有些衬衫和裤子和一些有限合伙人

No one ever stopped me, they didn't seem to care 从来没有人把我拦住，她们似乎并不关心

And sometimes it seems to me, there was no one in there 有时，在我看来，没有人在那里

   

Then a fine summers day my mate Ted and me 然后罚款夏天的一天，我的队友泰德和我

Set off down the west end on our usual spree 掀起倒在我们平时的大礼包西端

Things were as normal for an hour or so 事情是正常的，一个小时左右

Then my nimble hands were a bit too slow 然后我灵活的手慢了一点

   

Two store-detectives made a fast approach 两个存储侦探做了一个快速的方法

One grabbed my jacket, (you're nicked, haha!) the other grabbed my troat 一个抓住我的外套， （你有缺口，哈哈！ ）其他抓起我troat

"So we caught you at last", one said with joy “因此，我们抓住了你了”的时候，喜悦说：

"Been after you some time, my light-fingered boy" “以后你去过一段时间，我光手指的男孩”

   

If only I'd remembered my common sense 如果只有我会想起我的常识

They captured me red-handedly with evidence 他们占领了我的红一手证据

If I go to the manager and say I'm sorry 如果我去了经理，说对不起

Maybe he'll forgive me for my youthful folly 也许他会原谅我的愚蠢的青春

   

"But - but what will the social worker say “但是 - 但是究竟会社工说

If - if I don't come home today? 如果 - 如果我今天不回家？

He'll gimme a clout 他会给我一个影响力

What if they don't let me out? 如果他们不让我出去怎么办？

I told him I'm on me own 我告诉他，我对我自己

Don't they understand I'm from a broken home?" 难道他们不知道，我从一个破碎的家庭我？ “

   

I'll tell them I'm the product of a broken home 我会告诉他们我是一个破碎的家庭产品

And I always went out on my own 而我总是出去我自己

Was it too late to say I'd pay 是不是来不及说我付

And I'll never steal again till the end of my days? 我永远不会再偷，直到我的日子结束了吗？

   

Because I had no friends to call as such 因为我没有朋友这样叫

Money and possessions I did not have much 金钱和财产，我没有太多

So I started to steal in order to get by 于是我开始在ORDER BY去窃取

The quickness of the hand deceives the eye 手的敏捷欺骗眼睛

Deceives the eye 欺骗眼睛
