Like a bird on the wire, 就像在电线上的小鸟，

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免费的。

Like a worm on a hook, 像一个钩子蠕虫，

like a knight from some old fashioned book 像一些老式的书籍骑士

I have saved all my ribbons for thee. 我有救了我所有的丝带为你。

If I, if I have been unkind, 如果是我，如果我一直不友善，

I hope that you can just let it go by. 我希望你可以让他走了。

If I, if I have been untrue 如果是我，如果我一直不实

I hope you know it was never to you. 我希望你知道这是永远不会给你。

   

Like a baby, stillborn, 就像一个婴儿，死胎，

like a beast with his horn 像他的角兽

I have torn everyone who reached out for me. 我撕开大家谁伸出我。

But I swear by this song 但我发誓这首歌

and by all that I have done wrong 和所有我做错了

I will make it all up to thee. 我将它全部给你。

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

he said to me, "You must not ask for so much." 他对我说， “你不能要求那么多。 ”

And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, 而在她漆黑的门漂亮的女人扶着，

she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" 她哭着对我说，“嘿，为什么不问呢？ ”

   

Oh like a bird on the wire, 哦，就像在电线上的小鸟，

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免费的。
