[00:22.83]I had skin like leather

[00:24.62]我的皮肤如皮革般坚韧

[00:24.62]And the diamond-hard look of a cobra

[00:29.92]眼神犀利如钻石般冷峻

[00:29.92]I was born blue and weathered

[00:31.80]生来就饱经风霜

[00:31.80]But I burst just like a supernova

[00:37.03]却如超新星般迸发光芒

[00:37.03]I could walk like Brando right into the sun

[00:40.92]我能像白兰度般昂首阔步

[00:40.92]Then dance just like a Casanova

[00:45.96]又能如卡萨诺瓦般翩翩起舞

[00:45.96]With my blackjack and jacket

[00:47.90]身披黑夹克

[00:47.90]And hair slicked sweet

[00:49.53]发丝油亮迷人

[00:49.53]Silver star studs on my duds

[00:51.67]银色星钉缀满我的衣衫

[00:51.67]Like a Harley in heat

[00:57.27]能听见城市的心跳脉动

[00:57.27]The sisters fell back

[00:58.36]修女们退后低语

[00:58.36]And said "Don't that man look pretty"

[01:00.56]"瞧那男人多么耀眼夺目"

[01:00.56]The cripple on the corner cried out

[01:02.35]街角的跛足乞丐哭喊着

[01:02.35]"Nickels for your pity"

[01:03.78]"行行好给点施舍"

[01:03.78]Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty

[01:06.87]那些街头汽油小子满口粗鄙言语

[01:06.87]It's so hard to be a saint in the city

[01:15.15]I was the king if the alley

[01:17.25]我曾是巷弄里的王者

[01:17.25]Mama I could talk some trash

[01:22.39]I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown

[01:25.87]我是贫民窟的王子 在市中心加冕

[01:25.87]At the beggar's bash

[01:29.46]在乞丐们的狂欢宴

[01:29.46]I was the pimp's main prophet

[01:31.15]我是皮条客的首席先知

[01:31.15]I kept everything cool

[01:33.13]总能保持一切冷静

[01:33.13]Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose

[01:38.27]不过是个背街赌徒 霉运缠身

[01:38.27]And when the heat came down

[01:40.03]当危机降临之时

[01:40.03]It was left on the ground

[01:42.65]只能弃牌认输

[01:42.65]The devil appeared like

[01:43.79]魔鬼如耶稣般显灵

[01:43.79]Jesus through the steam in the street

[01:45.97]在街巷蒸汽中现身

[01:45.97]Showin' me a hand I knew

[01:47.52]向我展示那副

[01:47.52]Even the cops couldn't beat

[01:54.18]When you're just a boy out on the street

[02:01.00]当你只是个浪迹街头的少年

[02:01.00]And the sages of the subway sit

[02:02.92]地铁里的智者静坐如尸

[02:02.92]Just like the living dead

[02:04.65]宛如行尸走肉般呆滞

[02:04.65]As the tracks clack out the rhythm

[02:06.31]轨道咔嗒奏响节奏

[02:06.31]Their eyes fixed straightahead

[02:08.40]他们目光空洞直视前方

[02:08.40]They ride the line of balance

[02:09.93]行走在平衡的钢丝上

[02:09.93]And hold on by just a thread

[02:11.46]仅凭一线希望苦苦支撑

[02:11.46]But it's too hot in these tunnels

[02:13.22]但地下隧道里热浪灼人

[02:13.22]You can get hit up by the heat

[02:18.90]Your heart starts beatin' faster

[02:20.68]心跳随着挣扎

[02:20.68]As you struggle to your feet

[02:22.34]越来越快

[02:22.34]You're outa that hole

[02:24.40]你终于爬出那个深渊

[02:24.40]And back up on the street

[02:25.97]重新站上街头

[02:25.97]And them South Side sisters sure look pretty

[02:29.58]南城姑娘们美得让人心醉

[02:29.58]The cripple on the corner cries out

[02:31.72]街角的瘸腿乞丐哭喊着
