Once I lived the life of a millionaire, 有一次，我过上了百万富翁的生活，

Spent all my money, I just did not care. 花光了所有的钱，我却一点也不在乎。

Took all my friends out for a good time, 把我所有的朋友出去玩的时候，

Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine. 买盗版的威士忌，香槟和葡萄酒。

   

Then I began to fall so low, 然后，我开始下跌如此之低，

Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go. 失去了我所有的好朋友，我没有地方可去。

I get my hands on a dollar again, 我得到我的手一美元再次，

I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins. 我会挂在它到那鹰笑容。

   

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you “因为没有，没有，没有人知道你

When you're down and out. 当你穷困潦倒。

In your pocket, not one penny, 在你的口袋里，没有一分钱，

And as for friends, you don't have any. 而作为朋友，你没有任何。

   

When you finally get back up on your feet again, 当你终于回来了你的脚再次，

Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend. 每个人都想成为你的老久违的朋友。

Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt, 说，这是奇怪的强大，毫无疑问，

Nobody knows you when you're down and out. 没人知道你，当你穷困潦倒。

   

When you finally get back upon your feet again, 当你终于回来后，你的脚再次，

Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend. 每个人都想成为你的好老久违的朋友。

Said it's mighty strange, 说，这是强大的怪，

Nobody knows you, 没人知道你，

Nobody knows you when you're down and out. 没人知道你，当你穷困潦倒。
