Written by：Van Morrison

There were people on the sidewalks
人行道上行人匆匆
Strolling down the avenues
漫步在林荫大道中
They were sitting outside in cafes
咖啡馆外闲坐的人们
We were looking for the muse
我们曾追寻着艺术之梦
Well I was locked in by the system
如今我被体制禁锢
Where no freedom is the rule
自由在这里无处可寻
Now I spend all my time just trying
现在我只能耗尽时光
To make it understood
试图让人理解我的心声
It once was my life that's what everybody said
那曾是我的生活 人人都这么说
All the things I used to do and the people that were friends
那些我常做的事 和那些曾是朋友的人
I've got to make it mean something at the end of the day
我必须让这一切在最后都有意义
It once was my life they can't take that away
那曾是我的生活 他们无法夺走
Trials and tribulations and stupidity still rules
考验与磨难 愚昧仍在主宰
Sometimes it looks like I'm on a ship of fools
有时我仿佛置身愚人之船
It once was my life when my message was just the street
那曾是我的生活 当街头就是我的宣言
Then it became something else and now it's incomplete
后来它变成了别的 如今却支离破碎
I'm just trying to get back to when
我只想回到从前时光
Can somebody please shed some light
谁能为我点亮一丝曙光
It used to be my life it used to be uptight
那曾是我的生活 简单而自由
Trials and tribulations and stupidity still rules
考验与磨难 愚昧仍在主宰
Some days it just feels like I'm on a ship of fools
有时感觉就像置身愚人之船
I'm back here on the boards I can hear the engines roar
重回甲板 听见引擎轰鸣
Everybody's got to pay some people got to pay more
人人都要付出代价 有人付出更多
Well you can tell the people anything
你可以对人们信口开河
Spoon feed them anything you like
随意灌输他们想听的谎言
It used to be so simple it used to be my life
曾经如此简单 那就是我的生活
Now everything is so complicated just to speak or use the phone
如今连说话或打电话都变得复杂
Some people try to use me just cause they don't have their own
有人想利用我 只因他们一无所有
Don't know who's round the corner trying to sell me some more tripe
不知谁在暗处 想向我兜售更多废话
It used to be my life it used to be my life
那曾是我的生活 那曾是我的生活
It used to be my life it used to be my life
那曾是我的生活 那曾是我的生活
It used to be my life it used to be my life
那曾是我的生活 那曾是我的生活
It used to be my life it used to be my life
那曾是我的生活 那曾是我的生活
It used to be my life it used to be my life
那曾是我的生活 那曾是我的生活
