When you've hitched every highway 当你已经结婚了每一条高速路

And rode all the rails 骑着所有的轨

You're no longer afraid of the dark 你不再怕黑

You get tougher than leather and harder than nails 你会得到比皮革比指甲更强硬，更硬

When you've earned all the scars on your heart. 当你赢得你的心脏所有的伤痕。

   

Hobos and heroes, bankers and bums 流浪汉和英雄，银行家和烧伤

In some ways we're all the same 在某些方面，我们都是一样的

We all have to pay for the deeds that we've done 我们都必须为此付出代价，我们所做的事

And wind up just dragging those chains. 与清盘只是拖着那些枷锁。

   

Life paints a picture that time can't erase 生活描绘了一幅画面的时间无法抹去

And sometimes it cuts like a knife 有时它如刀割

Sooner or later one way or another 早晚或另一种方式

We all wear the tattoos of life. 我们都磨损寿命的纹身。

   

The glory in living 生活的荣耀

Is just running the race 只是跑比赛

Not whether you win or you fail 你不能不管赢或你失败

The lines like a road map 就像一个路线图的线

Will show on your face 会显示在你的脸上

And your eyes tell the rest of the tale. 和你的眼睛讲述这个故事的其余部分。

   

Life paints a picture that time can't erase 生活描绘了一幅画面的时间无法抹去

And sometimes it cuts like a knife 有时它如刀割

Sooner or later one way or another 早晚或另一种方式

We all wear the tattoos of life 我们都磨损寿命的纹身

The tattoos of life... 生命的纹身...
