He is down by the riverside 他是倒在河边

Late one night 一天深夜

He's tryin' to count the stars 他试着要数星星

In each of the signs 在每个标志

All alone by the riverside 独自在河边

And time passes by 而时过境迁

Gathering thoughts of the past 收集过去的思想

And maybe he'll cry 也许他会哭

   

So they say he's a madman 所以他们说他是个疯子

And he don't understand 他不明白

But I know that he's tryin' hard 但我知道，他试着硬

To act like a man 要像个男人

All those years he has suffered, my friends 这些年来，他一直深受其害，我的朋友们

All those years of pain 所有这些年的痛苦

But I don't think he knows for sure 但我不认为他知道肯定

If those years were in vain 如果这些年来都是徒劳

   

He's a dreamer 他是一个梦想家

And he's fightin' for his life 而且他的奋力抗争“为他的生命

He's tryin' to understand 他试着了解

He's a dreamer 他是一个梦想家

But he wants to carry on 但他想进行

Yet I know he's a lonely man 不过我知道他是一个孤独的人
