Took a high dive arcing out wide 花了高台跳水电弧列宽

Into the crowd 走入人群

Out to the sound of their wild applause 到他们的野生掌声的声音

But you've heard it before 但你听说过它

And you've seen it all 而你已经看到了这一切

From up there on the diving board 从那里的跳板

   

You'd free fall into the ether 你最好自由落体到乙醚

Above the people 上面的人

Out on a limb fragile and adored 无路可退脆弱和崇拜

But who below knows that 但是，谁知道下面的

You're still a mystery 你仍然是个谜

Way up on the diving board 一路上涨的跳板

   

Sink or swim 下沉或游泳

I can't recall 我不记得

Who said that to me? 是谁说过，要我吗？

When I was sixteen 当我16

And full of the world and its was noise 和满世界和它是噪音

   

But you beat the drum 但是你击鼓

You fell in love with it all 你爱上了这一切

The planets alight 行星下车

Those dizzy heights 这些头晕目眩的高度

And the view from the diving board 而从跳水板视图

   

Took the grand prize you and your eyes 拿了大奖，你和你的眼睛

Butterfly light 蝴蝶灯

Escaping the reach 逃离范围

Of their fangs and their claws 它们的尖牙和爪子的

Such a pale little thing 这种苍白的小东西

In your lily-white skin 在你雪白的肌肤

High up on the diving board. 高高的跳板。

   

Sink or swim 下沉或游泳

Who said that to me? 是谁说过，要我吗？

When I was sixteen 当我16

You fell in love with it all 你爱上了这一切

The planets alight 行星下车

Those dizzy heights 这些头晕目眩的高度
