Written by：Janis Ian

Footsteps on gravel at the neighborhood bar
碎石路上回荡着酒吧外的脚步声
Things start to unravel then they go too far
事态逐渐失控 最终走向极端
The sound of pain written on the wind
风中传来痛苦的呜咽
Fades to grey and then goes dim
渐渐消散 归于沉寂
A boy is tied to a barbed wire fence
男孩被绑在带刺的铁丝网上
For the crows to ride and the claws to clench
任乌鸦盘旋 利爪撕扯
For the sweet bouquet of blood and bone
血肉的腥甜气息弥漫
To undermine the scent of collegiate cologne
掩盖了学院香水的芬芳
What makes a man a man
何谓男子气概的真谛
The cut of a coat the hint of a tan
是笔挺的衣装 还是古铜的肤肌
It's not who you love but whether you can
无关你爱谁 只问能否扛起非议
What makes a man a man
何谓男子气概的真谛
So who did he harm what was the crime
他犯下何罪 酿成何等祸殃
Did he walk too lightly did he seem too shy
是因步伐太轻 或羞涩模样
Did he make them wonder deep inside
是否令他们心底暗自思量
Did they feel like real men when he died
当他逝去时 他们可曾感到阳刚
Did the waning moon look down from on high
渐亏的月亮可曾俯视人间
Did the twinkling stars try to catch his eye
闪烁的星辰可曾映入他眼帘
Did the wind caress his flesh and bone
微风是否轻抚过他嶙峋身躯
Did they leave him there to die alone
他们是否任他孤独走向凋零
What makes a man a man
何谓男子气概的真谛
The cut of a coat the hint of a tan
是笔挺的衣装 还是古铜的肤肌
It's not who you love but whether you can
无关你爱谁 只问能否扛起非议
What makes a man a man
何谓男子气概的真谛
Now the stars are nailed to an empty sky
繁星被钉在空洞的天幕上
The moon is pinned like a butterfly
月亮像蝴蝶般被钉住翅膀
And I'm afraid to shine too bright
我害怕自己光芒太盛
Since the day they took his life
自从他们夺走他生命那天起
So mothers teach your children this
所以母亲们要告诫孩子
Don't overreach don't run the risk
不要越界 不要冒险
Hide in the shadows don't expect
躲在阴影里 别指望
Your good heart to save your neck
善良的心能保住性命
What makes a man a man
何谓男子气概的真谛
The cut of a coat the hint of a tan
是笔挺的衣装 还是古铜的肤肌
It's not who you love but whether you can
无关你爱谁 只问能否扛起非议
That makes a man a man
这便是男子汉的定义
That makes a man a man
这便是男子汉的定义
