The way I see it, he said, you just can't win it 我看到它的样子，他说，你就不能赢得它

Everybody's in it for their own gain 每个人都在它自己的增益

You can't please 'em all 你不能取悦他们所有

There's always somebody calling you down 人们总是有人呼唤你失望

I do my best and I do good business 我尽我所能，我做的好生意

There's a lot of people asking for my time 有很多人问我的时间

They're trying to get ahead 他们试图获得成功

They're trying to be a good friend of mine 他们正试图成为一个好朋友

   

I was a free man in Paris 我是一个自由人在巴黎

I felt unfettered and alive 我觉得无拘无束，充满活力

There was nobody calling me up for favors 有没有人打电话给我的恩惠

And no one's future to decide 没有人的未来决定

You know I'd go back there tomorrow 你知道我会回到那里的明天

But for the work I've taken on 但对于工作，我已经采取了

Stoking the star-maker machinery 煽动明星机机械

Behind the popular song 流行歌曲的背后

   

I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers 我处理的梦想家和电话尖叫

Lately I wonder what I do it for 最近，我不知道我做的

If I had my way 如果我有我的方式

I'd just walk through those doors 我只是走过这些门

And wander down the Champs-Élysées 而漫步在香榭丽舍大街

Going café to cabaret 去咖啡厅，以歌舞表演

Thinking how I'd feel when I find 想着我怎么会觉得，当我找到

That very good friend of mine 这非常好的朋友

   

I was a free man in Paris 我是一个自由人在巴黎

I felt unfettered and alive 我觉得无拘无束，充满活力

Nobody was calling me up for favors 没人给我打电话了恩惠

No one's future to decide 没有人的未来决定

You know I'd go back there tomorrow 你知道我会回到那里的明天

But for the work I've taken on 但对于工作，我已经采取了

Stoking the star-maker machinery 煽动明星机机械

Behind the popular song 流行歌曲的背后
