Written by：Jimmy Buffett

There's a cowboy in the jungle
丛林中有个牛仔
And he looks so out of place
他看起来格格不入
With his shrimpskin boots and his cheap Cheroots
穿着虾皮靴，抽着廉价雪茄
And his skin as white as paste
皮肤苍白如纸
Headin' south to Paraguay
原本计划前往巴拉圭
Where the gauchos sing and shout
那里高乔人载歌载舞
Now he's stuck in Porto Bello
如今却困在波多贝洛
Since his money all ran out
因为钱已花光
So he hangs out with the sailors
于是他与水手们厮混在一起
Night and day they're raisin' hell
日夜狂欢，肆意放纵
And his original destination's just another
而他原本的目的地
Story that he loves to tell
只是他爱讲述的另一个故事
With no plans for the future
尽管没有未来的计划
He still seems in control
他依然显得掌控自如
From a bronco ride to a ten foot tide
从骑野马到面对十尺巨浪
He just had to learn to roll
他只需学会随波逐流
Roll with the punches
随遇而安
Play all of his hunches
凭直觉行事
Made the best of whatever came his way
无论遇到什么，他都尽力而为
What he lacked in ambition
他虽缺乏野心
He made up with intuition
却以直觉弥补
Plowing straight ahead come what may
勇往直前，无所畏惧
Steel band in the distance
远处传来钢鼓乐声
And their music floats across the bay
音乐飘荡过海湾
While American women in muumuus
当美国妇女穿着穆穆袍
Talk about all the things they did today
谈论着她们今天所做的一切
And their husbands quack about fishing
她们的丈夫则喋喋不休地谈论钓鱼
As they slug those rum drinks down
一边大口喝着朗姆酒
Discussing who caught what
讨论谁钓到了什么
And who sat on his butt
谁又坐在那里无所事事
But it's the only show in town
但这是镇上唯一的消遣
They're tryin' to drink all the punches
他们试图喝光所有的酒
They all may lose their lunches
他们可能都会失去午餐
Tryin' to cram lost years into five or six days
试图将失去的岁月塞进五六天
Seems that blind ambition erased their intuition
似乎盲目的野心抹去了他们的直觉
Plowin' straight ahead come what may
不顾一切地向前冲，无论发生什么
I don't want to live on that kind of island
我不想生活在那种岛上
No I don't want to swim in a roped off sea
不，我不想在围栏的海里游泳
Too much for me
对我来说太多了
Too much for me
对我来说太多了
I've got to be where the wind and the water are free
我渴望去往风与水自由的地方
Alone on a midnight passage
独自在午夜的航程中
I can count the falling stars
我能数着坠落的星辰
While the Southern 'cross and the satellites
南十字星与人造卫星
They remind me of where we are
提醒着我们身在何处
Spinning around in circles
在循环中旋转
Living it day to day
日复一日地生活
And still twenty four hours maybe sixty good years
而二十四小时，或许是六十年的好时光
It's still not that long a stay
停留的时间并不算长
We've gotta roll with the punches
我们必须随波逐流
Learn to play all of our hunches
学会凭直觉行事
Makin' the best of whatever comes your way
尽力应对一切来临的事物
Forget that blind ambition
忘记那盲目的野心
And learn to trust your intuition
学会相信自己的直觉
Plowin' straight ahead come what may
不顾一切地向前冲，无论发生什么
And there's a cowboy in the jungle
丛林中有个牛仔
