I grew up dirty and I grew up poor 我从小就脏，我出身贫穷

The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door 狼竟然没挂轮我们的大门

Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare 没有面包屑饶和橱柜裸

And I had the gift of imagination 我有想象力的礼物

I could change my situation 我可以改变我的处境

Anytime I choose I could always go 每当我选择，我可以经常去

Down Paradise Road 向下天堂路

   

I found a kingdom deep within 我发现了一个王国深处

A place dream and to pretend 一个地方的梦想，假装

And to prepare for the world out there 并为世界准备在那里

A dream can dress you when you're ragged 梦想可以打扮你，当你衣衫褴褛

Fill you up when hunger's naggin' 填补你在饥饿的naggin “

I warmed my soul when life was cold 我热我的灵魂在生活中是冷

On Paradise Road 在天堂之路

   

Paradise is a state of mind 天堂是一种心境

The sun shines warm and all the time 阳光普照温暖，所有的时间

And the rain don't flow and the wind don't blow 和雨不流动，风不吹

On Paradise Road 在天堂之路

A place no one can take from me 一个地方没有人可以从我

A place of everlasting peace 一个地方的永久和平

Where dreamers go; It's never closed 梦想家哪里去;这是从来没有收

Paradise Road 天堂之路

   

Paradise is a state of mind 天堂是一种心境

Down the road of life and time 下来的生活和时间的道路

And the friends we meet 和朋友，我们见面

Make the travlin' sweet 使travlin 甜蜜

On Paradise Road 在天堂之路

Sometimes now when the world is mad 有时，当现在的世界是疯狂的

I find that place I've always had 我觉得那个地方我一直有

Inside my soul; It's paved in gold 在我的灵魂;它铺在金

Paradise Road 天堂之路

   

I grew up dirty and I grew up poor 我从小就脏，我出身贫穷

The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door 狼竟然没挂轮我们的大门

Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare 没有面包屑饶和橱柜裸

But I had the gift of imagination 但我有想象力的礼物

I could change my situation 我可以改变我的处境

Anytime I choose I could always go 每当我选择，我可以经常去

Down Paradise Road 向下天堂路
