I thought I'd be an angel 我以为我是天使

And fly on astral skies 并在星体的天空飞翔

I thought I'd wear a fanciful disguise 我以为我会穿一件稀奇的伪装

And It's taken me a lotta time 而且这是我花洛塔时间

To find out I'm not one 要了解我不是一个

An outlaw on the run, 在奔跑的亡命之徒，

On this side of the sun. 在太阳的这一边。

   

I hoped I'd be a champion 我希望自己会成为冠军

And live without a care 而生活在没有照顾

I thought I'd change the world, 我想我会改变这个世界，

Make it just and fair 使公正，公平

But my youth slipped by before my eyes 但是，我的青春在我的眼前溜走了

Much to my surprise 出乎我的意料

Before I had begun, 我开始之前，

On this side of the sun. 在太阳的这一边。

   

Out on this end of the wind 出对风的这一端

Winter's coming 'round the bend 冬天的来临“拐弯

You pray for rain, before you know, 您祈雨，你知道之前，

You're standin' in a foot of snow 你是站在在雪花的脚

So you pull your coat up to your chin 所以，你拉你的外套到你的下巴

Pick your shovel up again 再次选择你的铲起来

'Cause your work is never done, 因为你的工作是永远做不完的，

On this side of the sun. 在太阳的这一边。

I took it to a fortune teller 我把它给算命先生

I thought that she might help me 我以为她会帮我

She looked into my eyes 她看着我的眼睛

And smiled mysteriously 并神秘地笑了笑

But she didn't know as much as me 但她不知道不亚于我

I stared back, dejectedly 我呆住了回来，沮丧

'Cause I know where she's from, 因为我知道她是从，

This side of the sun. 太阳的这一边。

   

Out behind these prison walls, 在这些监狱的高墙后面，

Dark clouds come and hard rains fall 乌云来硬的降雨落在

You pause a moment for a dream, 您稍停片刻的梦想，

They row you gently down the stream 他们轻轻的把您往下流

You wake up angry in the night, 你醒了愤怒的夜晚，

Jump up, ready for the fight 跳起来，准备战斗

But the war is never won 但战争永远不会赢

On this side of the sun. 在太阳的这一边。

   

Now they tell me music 现在，他们告诉我的音乐

Can free a person's soul 可以释放一个人的灵魂

So I sing a song everywhere I go 所以我唱的一首歌无论我去哪里

But It's not much different than before 但是，这不是比以前好多不同

I'm still looking for the door 我还在找上门

I wonder if there is one, 我不知道如果有一个，

On this side of the sun... 在太阳的这一边...
