Every day held a new surprise 每天都举行了新的惊喜

I watched the hunger burning in my sister's eyes 我看着饥饿燃烧在我姐姐的眼睛

The paste-board shack we called home 该贴板棚子，我们打电话回家

Would haunt me in my dreams 就困扰着我，我的梦想

'Cause there's nothing soft about hard times 因为没有什么软约艰

   

We never knew anything groovy 我们从来不知道什么时髦

A dime meant bread and not a movie 一毛钱意味着面包，而不是一部电影

The muscles that controlled my smile were rarely ever used 很少被使用过的控制我的微笑肌肉

'Cause there's nothing soft about hard times 因为没有什么软约艰

   

Had to go 'cause I could see I wasn't meant for poverty 不得不去，因为我可以看到我是不是给贫困

The family ties were broken soon and I went off to find the moon 家庭关系很快就被打破，我去了发现月球

   

So I sit on a bench in Jackson Square 于是我坐下来在杰克逊广场的长椅

I drink my wine and I breathe the midnight air 我喝我的酒，我呼吸的空气午夜

Tomorrow I'll just hit the street and bum another dime 明天我就打到街上混混另一角钱
