以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Long Beach early in the morning
长滩清晨微光初现
I'm walking the boardwalk by the sea
我沿着海边木栈道漫步
I'm with my little boy he's not sleeping too well
身旁的小家伙睡得不太安稳
My little boy is a lot like me
这男孩像极了我当年模样
And I came home late from the city
当我从城里深夜归来
I was in the Village having fun
格林威治村的狂欢未散
All the queens were coming out on Christopher Street
克里斯托弗大街的霓虹渐亮
And a new age had begun
新时代的序幕正缓缓拉开
I'm in a long line of lovers
我是众多追梦者中的一员
Who came to New York looking for the Muse
来到纽约寻找缪斯女神的眷顾
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street
在布利克街遇见端盘子的她
To pay for her dancing shoes
为舞鞋攒钱的倔强身影
I played the Gaslight and Gerde's Folk City
在煤气灯吧与格德民谣城驻唱
The Bitter End and the occasional bar
偶尔也去苦尽酒吧卖艺
I played the game of money and fame
追逐着名利场的游戏
'Cause everybody wants to be a star
毕竟谁都渴望成为明星
And I had my share of intoxication
我也曾沉醉于迷离幻境
I did a few *** and drank too much Uncle Jack
放纵过荒唐岁月 灌下太多烈酒穿肠
But I stopped in time when I saw the signs
但当我看见警示的微光 便及时停驻
And I knew I had to get back
深知该找回最初方向
And I'm in a long line of lovers
我不过是寻梦者长列中
Who came to New York looking for the Muse
来到纽约寻找缪斯女神的眷顾
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street
在布利克街遇见端盘子的她
To pay for her dancing shoes
为舞鞋攒钱的倔强身影
And the Vietnam War was still raging
越战硝烟仍未散尽
They were singing protest songs in Washington Square
华盛顿广场回荡着抗议歌声
Too many guys just never came home
多少儿郎再未归乡
'Cause not enough people cared
只因世人冷漠如霜
And those who made it back were looking lost and confused
幸存者们眼神空洞彷徨
Was it a victory or a tactical retreat
这算是凯旋还是战略逃亡
Either way it left a wound in America's heart
无论如何都在美利坚心上
To see them sleeping out on the street
刻下流浪者蜷缩街头的伤
I'm in a long line of lovers
我是众多追梦者中的一员
Who came to New York looking for the Muse
来到纽约寻找缪斯女神的眷顾
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street
在布利克街遇见端盘子的她
To pay for her dancing shoes
为舞鞋攒钱的倔强身影
Thirty years later and I'm thinking
三十载光阴流转 蓦然回首
I'm still here some of my friends are gone
故人零落 唯我仍在此处停留
My little boy is grown he's got a son of his own
稚子已成父亲 怀抱他的骨肉
Everybody's got to sing their own song
人生如歌 各自谱写春秋
I came back to Long Beach and I'm looking out at the sea
我回到长滩 凝望着那片海
I'm standing in a warm summer haze
站在温暖夏日的薄雾里
I can see those times like I'm in a picture show
往事如电影画面般清晰浮现
New York in the seventies
那是七十年代的纽约
I'm in a long line of lovers
我是众多追梦者中的一员
Who came to New York looking for the Muse
来到纽约寻找缪斯女神的眷顾
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street
在布利克街遇见端盘子的她
To pay for her dancing shoes
为舞鞋攒钱的倔强身影
Long Beach early in the morning
长滩清晨微光初现
I'm walking the boardwalk by the sea
我沿着海边木栈道漫步
I'm with my little boy he's not sleeping too well
身旁的小家伙睡得不太安稳
My little boy is a lot like me
这男孩像极了我当年模样
My little boy is a lot like me
这男孩像极了我当年模样
