My daddy said 我爸爸说，

"Son, don't you come to me cryin' “儿子，你不来找我哭泣

Cause money don't make you a happy man" 因为钱不会使你成为一个快乐的人“

He said the grass is always greener 他说，喜新厌旧

Any place except where you stand 除非你站在什么地方

   

He said some are born to win 他说，一些出生取胜

And some born to lose 而有些天生输

And sing them poor boy blues 唱他们贫穷的小男孩蓝色

   

Watch out 注意

   

I've lived uptown, downtown 我住的住宅区，市中心

Lord I've lived everywhere 主啊，我在这里住无处不在

Almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat I swear 差点淹死在自己的汗水，我发誓水坑

I believe it's due time I get my mansion in ole Bel Air 我相信这是适当的时候让我的豪宅在OLE贝莱尔

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

But I'm still singin' those poor boy blues 但我仍然唱着那些可怜的男孩蓝色

Poor boy blues 可怜的男孩蓝色

You don't know how I'm feeling baby 你不知道我现在的心情宝贝

Until you're wearing my shoes 直到你穿我的鞋

Sure as I'm standing here 当然，由于我站在这里

I got them poor boy blues 我让他们贫穷的小男孩蓝色

   

Friday night I get tanked up 周五晚上，我得到了重挫

And tossed in the local slam 并扔在当地满贯

At least I get three square meals 至少我得到饱食

Until someone gets me out of this jam 直到有人得到我出这果酱

In the meanwhile all my green 在此期间我所有的绿色

Is going to Uncle Sam 即将山姆大叔

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Walk this dog 走在这条犬

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
