Poor Boy - Nick Drake (尼克.德雷克)

Never sing for my supper
晚餐时分从未祈祷过
I never help my neighbour
与邻居也几乎没有来往
Never do what is proper
他们也从来不正视
For my share of labour
我的那份劳动
I'm a poor boy
我是个可怜的人
And I'm a rover
我是个流浪者
Count your coins and
数数你手里的零钱
Throw them over my shoulder
扔在我的肩膀上
I may grow older
我可能会慢慢变老
Nobody knows
却无人知晓
How cold it grows
世态炎凉 一个人的年迈
And nobody sees
居然无人知晓
How shaky my knees
我的身体不再硬朗
Nobody cares
也没人在乎
How steep my stairs
上下楼梯十分费劲
And nobody smiles
没有人对我微笑示意
If I cross their stiles
在走过他们的楼层之时
Oh poor boy
可怜的老人家
So sorry for himself
觉得自己真可悲
Oh poor boy
可怜的老人家
So worried for his health
为他的健康感到忧愁
You may say every day
你每天都在想
Where will he stay tonight
他将在何处度过漫漫长夜
Never know what I came for
永远无从知晓我为何来此
Seems that I've forgotten
似乎我已被世人遗忘
Never ask what I came for
也无人问津
Or how I was begotten
我为何落得如此下场
I'm a poor boy
我是个可怜的人
And I'm a ranger

Things I say

May seem stranger than Sunday
可能听起来比周末变成了周一
Changing to Monday
还奇怪
Nobody knows
却无人知晓
How cold it flows
寒风瑟瑟
And nobody feels
没有感同身受的人
The worn down heels
衣衫褴褛
Nobody's eyes
无人理睬
Make the skies
望望天
Nobody spreads

Their aching heads
