We were born during the boom times, played house down in the bomb shelter 我们在经济繁荣时期出生，在防空洞里打出满堂彩

Suffered through the wonder years, and silence at the dinner hour 通过难怪多年来在吃饭的时候遭遇，和沉默

But once upon a summertime, out behind the old garage 但在夏令一次，淘汰落后的旧车库

We were buzzing on midnight, Luckys and Rolling Rock 我们都嗡嗡午夜，靓彩和滚石

Thinking we were heroes in our own hometown 思考我们的英雄在我们自己的家乡

Nothing less than heroes in that old hometown 无外乎英雄的故乡

   

Some married on a day in June, some disappeared without a trace 有些结婚的日期，月，有的消失得无影无踪

And some of us are still at large, still searching for a better place 而我们中的一些人仍然在逃，仍然在寻找一个更好的地方

But once upon another time, it didn't matter what they said 但是，一旦在其他时间，这没有什么问题，他们说，

Didn't matter if we fell behind, we'd still come out ahead 没有问题，如果我们落后了，我们还是会出人头地

Cause we believed in heroes in that old hometown 因为我们相信英雄的故乡

Hey, you could be a hero in your own hometown 嘿，你可以成为一个英雄在自己的家乡

   

Now I'm long away and very far, from gazing at an evening sky 现在我长的路程，很远，从凝视的夜空

From wishing on a shooting star, from thinking that a heart can't lie 从希望的一颗流星，从思想，一个心脏不能说谎

This world is gonna wear you thin, knot you up and spin you round 这个世界是会穿你瘦，你结了，圆你旋转

This world will take it's aim, call you every name, trying to bring you down 这个世界上把它的目标，叫你每一个名字，试图让你失望

   

Everything seems so clear when you're looking back from such a distance 一切都显得那么清晰，当你正在寻找从这样的距离背

When the road not taken disappears into the path of least resistance 当没有采取道路消失在阻力最小的路径

But once upon a time oh so long ago 但曾几何时哦很久以前

Underneath this same old sky every brand new road 下面这老一套的天空每一个品牌新路

   

Would know that we were heroes in our own hometown 想知道我们是英雄在我们自己的家乡

Nothing less than heroes in that old hometown 无外乎英雄的故乡

We still loved a hero in our own hometown 我们仍然在我们自己的家乡亲人的英雄

Baby you could be a hero in your own hometown 宝贝，你可以成为一个英雄在自己的家乡
