When I was a young man, I had to kick and scratch and claw 当我还年轻的时候，我不得不踢和擦伤和爪

Now it's like top gun in the Old West, everybody wants me to draw 现在，它就像在老西顶枪，每个人都希望我画

If I had known it would be like this I might have given it a second thought 如果我早知道会是这样，我可能给了它第二个想法

But if someone had told me to give it up, it's a line that I wouldn't have bought 但是，如果有人告诉我放弃了，那就是我不买了行

   

Look at me 看着我

I'm the great white hope 我是伟大的白色希望

Can't you see 你没看见

I'm up against the ropes 我要对付的绳索

Don't you know 难道你不知道

It's so hard to cope 它是如此难以应付

When you feel 当你觉得

Like the great white hope 像极了白色的希望

   

Now you've paid your money you're sitting in your ringside seat 现在你已经付出你的钱你坐在你的座位马戏团

And I know that some of you out there, might wanna see the champ get beat 我知道，你们当中有些人在那里，可能希望看到的冠军让打

If I had known it would be like this I might have given it a second thought 如果我早知道会是这样，我可能给了它第二个想法

But real life sure isn't like school, there's some lessons that just can't be taught 但现实生活中肯定不喜欢上学，有一些经验教训，就是不能被教

   

Look at me 看着我

I'm the great white hope 我是伟大的白色希望

Can't you see 你没看见

I'm up against the ropes 我要对付的绳索

Don't you know 难道你不知道

It's so hard to cope 它是如此难以应付

When you feel 当你觉得

Like the great white hope 像极了白色的希望
