Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets
奥斯卡是个天使 日日漫步街头
Shoutin' out some prophecy to everyone he'd meet
向每个遇见的人 预言未来种种
He was a local fixture like a cop out on a beat
他像执勤警察 是街角不变的风景
Folks said he'd been shell shocked long ago
人们说他很久以前 受过战争创伤
And more than that no one seemed to know
除此之外 无人知晓更多过往
Oscar was a walker at least four miles twice a day
奥斯卡每天步行 至少来回四英里
The entire length of Main Street he'd be shoutin' all the way
沿着主街一路高喊 声音传遍每个角落
And I had no idea where he'd heard the things he'd say
我始终不明白 他从何处听来这些预言
But he was not your normal voice of doom
但他并非寻常的末日预言者
It was a happy song sung slightly out of tune
那是首欢快却微微走调的歌谣
And he'd say everyone will die and go to heaven
他总说世人终将逝去 升入天堂
And we will all be angels some day
有朝一日我们都将化作天使
What you are in this world don't count for nothin'
尘世间的身份皆不足为道
'Cause we are only children we're just lost along the way
因我们只是迷途的孩童
But we will all be angels some day
但有朝一日我们都将化作天使
Well I worked at the rialto I sold tickets at the door
我曾工作在里亚尔托剧院 在门口售卖戏票
And Oscar he'd come by most ev'ryday 'bout half past four
奥斯卡常在四点半左右 每日如约而至
And he'd pay to see some movie that he'd seen ten times before
买票看他看过十遍的老电影
But mostly we'd just let him in for free
但大多时候我们会让他免费入场
And he'd watch five minutes then he'd come and talk to me
看五分钟就来找我聊天
And he'd say everyone will die and go to heaven
他总说世人终将逝去 升入天堂
And we will all be angels some day
有朝一日我们都将化作天使
What you are in this world don't count for nothin'
尘世间的身份皆不足为道
'Cause we are only children we're just lost along the way
因我们只是迷途的孩童
But we will all be angels some day
但有朝一日我们都将化作天使
Well it's going on ten years now since I left my home town
离开故乡已近十年光阴
And I went home last summer for a week I hung around
去年夏日归乡小住一周
I looked out for Oscar he was nowhere to be found
寻觅奥斯卡却杳无踪迹
Someone said they finally had to commit him
听闻他终被送进精神病院
And he died before they had time to forget him
未及世人遗忘便溘然长逝
Now I'm not about to argue Oscar's train had jumped the tracks
我不愿争辩奥斯卡是否偏离常轨
But I'll bet my last dollar on a plain and simple fact
但我愿倾尽所有 赌一个简单事实
Oscar never said a word about me behind my back
奥斯卡从未在背后 说过我半句不是
And the way the I was raised to understand
以我从小被教导的认知标准
Well that bone makes him the better man
这份骨气使他更为高尚
And he'd say everyone will die and go to heaven
他总说世人终将逝去 升入天堂
And we will all be angels some day
有朝一日我们都将化作天使
What you are in this world don't count for nothin'
尘世间的身份皆不足为道
'Cause we are only children we're just lost along the way
因我们只是迷途的孩童
But we will all be angels some day
但有朝一日我们都将化作天使
Ya we will all be angels someday
是啊 终有一日 我们都将羽化登仙
