Written by：Janis Ian

He said grab any stool put your belly to the bar
他说随便找个吧台 把肚子贴上去痛饮
I'm not such a fool I know just who you are
我并非愚钝之人 早看清你的真面目
It's been too many years and not enough time
岁月漫长如许 时光却总嫌太短
Have a cup of my tears they've been watered with wine
请饮尽我这杯 被红酒稀释的泪
I am the drowning man I am the drowning man
我是沉沦之人 我是溺毙之徒
There once was a girl every story starts that way
从前有个姑娘 所有故事都这般开场
She lit up my world like a fireworks display
她点燃我世界 如烟火璀璨绽放
And the flame drew me near but it frightened me more
那火光诱我靠近 却更令我惊惶
So I met her with water and I rained 'til I poured
我以泪为酒与她相遇 倾盆而下直至决堤
Now I am the drowning man I am the drowning man
如今我成了溺水之人 沉沦在无尽深渊
I'm drowning in jiggers and I'm drowning in smoke
我在烈酒中窒息 在烟雾里沉没
I'm drowning in rivers where the fish gasp and choke
坠入鱼群窒息的暗河 随浊流翻滚
I have drowned my tomorrows just to drown out my past
溺毙所有明日 只为埋葬昨日
Now I drown all my sorrows at the bottom of this glass
此刻将悲伤沉入 这杯底的琥珀
Cause I am the drowning man I am the drowning man
因我早是溺水之人 注定沉沦的亡魂
I won't die for money and I won't die for love
不为金钱赴死 不为爱情牺牲
And I won't die for beauty or the good lord above
我不会为美丽或上帝献出生命
But I'll die for a dream whose heart is engraved
但我会为一个刻骨铭心的梦想而死
In the rocks and the reefs of my watery grave
那梦想深埋在我水下的礁石坟墓中
I am the drowning man I am the drowning man
我是沉沦之人 我是溺毙之徒
