The way I see it, 我看到它的样子，

You just can't win it. 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

   

And I do my best 我尽我所能

And I do good business 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 was unfettered and alive 我是无拘无束，充满活力

There was nobody to call 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

Stokin' the star maker machinery Stokin “明星制造机

Behind the popular song 流行歌曲的背后

   

I deal in dreamers 我处理的梦想家

And telephone schemers 电话阴谋家

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

If l had my way, I'd walk through that door 如果l有我的路，我走过那扇门

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

Going cafe to cabaret 去咖啡馆歌舞表演

Thinking how I'll 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
