以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I remember it all very well lookin' back
往事历历在目 回首依然清晰
It was the summer I turned eighteen
那是我十八岁的夏天
We lived in a one room rundown shack
我们蜗居在破败的单间棚屋
On the outskirts of New Orleans
就在新奥尔良的城郊边
We didn't have money for food or rent
穷得付不起饭钱和房租
To say the least we were hard pressed
毫不夸张地说山穷水尽
Then Mama spent every last penny we had
妈妈花光最后一块硬币
To buy me a dancin' dress
只为给我买件舞裙
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
妈妈为我梳洗盘发 描眉画唇
And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped into a satin
我换上丝缎舞裙 侧边开衩高及胯部
Dancin' dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
红色天鹅绒滚边 衬得身段玲珑
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
镜中回望时 稚气少女已蜕变成人
Standin' back from the lookin' glass
母亲说这是你唯一机会 芳西别让我失望
There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood
这是你唯一机会 芳西别让我失望
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
（重复副歌）
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
（重复副歌强调）
Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
妈妈在我颈间轻点香水
And she kissed my cheek
又亲吻我的脸颊
Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes
我看见她含泪的双眼满溢忧伤
When she started to speak
当她开口说话时
She looked at a pitiful shack
她望着破败的棚屋
And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
又看向我 艰难地深吸一口气
She said your Pa's run off and I'm real sick
说你爸离家出走 我病重难愈
And the baby's gonna starve to death
小婴儿快要饿死了
She handed me a heart shaped locket that said
她递给我一枚心形挂坠 上面刻着
"To thine own self be true"
"永远忠于你自己"
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
我浑身颤抖 看着蟑螂爬过
The toe of my high heel shoe
我高跟鞋的鞋尖
It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'
那声音仿佛来自别人
Askin' Mama what do I do
我问妈妈我该怎么办
She said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
她说只要对绅士们温柔点 芳西
And they'll be nice to you
他们就会善待你
She said here's your chance Fancy don't let me down
她说这是你的机会 芳西别让我失望
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
（重复副歌强调）
Lord forgive me for what I do but if you want out
主啊请宽恕我的罪孽 但若你想逃离
Well it's up to you
那就全看你自己
Now don't let me down you better start movin' uptown
现在别让我失望 你最好开始往上爬
Well that was the last time I saw my Ma
那是我最后一次见到妈妈
The night I left that rickety shack
离开那摇摇欲坠棚屋的夜晚
The welfare people came and took the baby
福利机构的人来带走了婴儿
Mama died and I ain't been back
母亲离世后我再未归乡
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
命运齿轮却已开始转动
And for me there was no way out
而我已无路可退
And it wasn't very long 'til I knew exactly
很快我就彻底明白
What my Mama's been talkin' about
母亲当年话语的份量
I knew what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow
虽知前路却暗自立誓
That I's gonna be a lady someday
终有一日要成为淑女
Though I don't know when or how
纵使不知何时以何方式
I couldn't see spending the rest of my life
我无法想象余生都要
With my head hung down in shame you know
在羞愧中低头度过
I might have been born just plain white trash
也许我生来就是贫贱命
But Fancy was my name
但芳西是我的名字
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
（重复副歌强调）
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
（重复副歌强调）
It wasn't very long after a benevolent man
没过多久一位善心人
Took me off the street
把我从街头带走
And one week later I was pourin' his tea
一周后我为他斟茶倒水
In a five room hotel suite
在五居室的酒店套房里
I charmed a king a congressman
我周旋于国王 国会议员
And an occasional aristocrat
偶尔还有贵族老爷们
Then I got me a Georgia mansion
后来我有了乔治亚豪宅
In an elegant New York townhouse flat
和纽约上东区的精致公寓
And I ain't done bad
我混得不算差
Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrite
这世上多的是道貌岸然的伪君子
That would call me bad
人们会说我堕落
And criticize Mama for turning me out
指责妈妈逼我走上这条路
No matter how little we had
不管我们多么贫穷
But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'
虽然这十五年来
For nigh on fifteen years
我早已衣食无忧
I can still hear the desperation in my poor
但母亲绝望的声音
Mama's voice ringin' in my ear
至今仍在我耳边回响
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
她说 这是你唯一的机会 芳西 别让我失望
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
（重复副歌强调）
Lord forgive me for what I do

But if you want out well it's up to you

Now don't let me down

Your Mama's gonna help you uptown
妈妈会帮你跻身上流
I guess she did
