Like a bird on a wire 就像在钢丝绳上的小鸟

Like a drunk in a midnight choir 就像在午夜合唱团一醉

I have tried in my way to be free 我试图用我的方式是自由的

Like a fish on a hook 像钩鱼

Like a knight from an old fashioned book 就像从一个老式的书骑士

I have saved all my ribbons with thee 我有救了我所有的丝带与你同在

   

And if I have been unkind 如果我一直不厚道

I hope that you will just let it go by 我希望你就让它去了

And if I have been untrue 如果我一直不实

I hope you know it was never to you 我希望你知道这是从来没有给你

   

Like a baby stillborn 像婴儿胎死腹中

Like a beast with his horn 喜欢用他的角兽

I have torn everyone who reached out for me 我撕开大家谁伸手给我

   

But I swear by this song 但我发誓这首歌

By all I have done wrong 所有我做错了

I'll make it all up to you 我会让这一切由你决定

   

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch 我看到一个乞丐拄着拐杖木

He called out to me "Don't ask for so much" 他叫了我“别问那么多”

And a young man leaning on his darkened door 和一个年轻男子扶着他的黑暗的门

He cried out to me "Hey, why not ask for more" 他朝我喊道： “嘿，为什么不要求更多”

   

Like a bird on a wire 就像在钢丝绳上的小鸟

Like a drunk in a midnight choir 就像在午夜合唱团一醉

I have tried in my way to be free 我试图用我的方式是自由的
