I guess I tried to show you how 我想我试着告诉你如何

I'd take the crowd with my guitar 我会采取人潮与我的吉他

And business men would clap their hands 和商人会鼓掌

And clip another fat cigar 和剪辑另一种脂肪的雪茄

And publishers would spread the news 和出版商会奔走相告

And print my music far and wide 和远弗打印我的音乐

And all the kids who played the blues 和所有的孩子谁发挥的蓝调

Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide 想了解我舔了瓶颈幻灯片

   

But now it seems the bubble's burst 但现在看来，泡沫的破灭

Although you know there was a time 虽然你知道曾经有一段时间

When love songs gathered in my head 当情歌聚集在我的脑海

With poetry in every line 诗歌中的每一行

And strong men strove to hold the doors 而强壮的男人力图保持门

While with my friends I passed the age 虽然与我的朋友，我通过了年龄

When people stomped on dirty floors 当人们踩在肮脏的地板

Before I trod the rock'n'roll stage 在我踏着摇滚舞台

   

I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone 我要感谢的人谁是在“手机

And if he has the time to spend 如果他不得不花时间

The problem I'll explain once more 这个问题我来解释一次

And indicate a sum to lend 并注明了一笔贷款

That ten percent is now a joke 这10 ％的现在是一个笑话

Maybe thirty, even thirty-five 也许30 ，甚至35

I'll say my daddy's had a stroke 我会说我的爸爸得了中风

He'd have one now, if he only was alive 他希望有一个现在，如果他只还活着

   

I like the way you look at me 我喜欢你看我的方式

You're laughing too down there inside 你在笑过下来里面有

I took my chance and you took yours 我把我的机会，你把你的

You crewed my ship, we missed the tide 您载人我的船，我们错过了潮

I like the way the music goes 我喜欢的音乐去的方式

There's a few good guys who can play it right 有几个不错的球员谁可以发挥它的权利

I like the way it moves my toes 我喜欢它的动作我的脚趾的方式

Just say when you want to go and dance all night... 只是说，当你想要去跳舞一整夜...
