Bird on a Wire

Like a bird on the wire,

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free.

Like a worm on a hook,

Like a knight from some old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

像一只电线杆上的鸟

像一个午夜唱诗班的醉汉

我试着，以我的方式企及自由

像一只鱼钩上的虫子

像一位旧式书中的骑士

我为你保留，我所有珍藏的缎带

If I, if I have been unkind,

I hope that you can just let it go by.

If I, if I have been untrue

I hope you know it was never to you.

如果我，如果我曾经无情

我希望你，可以释怀

如果我，如果我曾经不忠

我希望你明白，我对你从不如此

Like a baby, stillborn,

Like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me.

But I swear by this song

And by all that I have done wrong

I will make it all up to thee.

像一个降生即死去的婴儿

像一个有角的野兽

我曾经撕裂每一个接近我的人

但我以这首歌

以那些，我所有做过的错事起誓

我会为你弥补这所有的一切

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,

He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."

And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,

She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

我看到一个乞丐，拄着他木制的拐杖

他对我说，“你不能索取得那么多。”

一位漂亮的女人，斜靠在她昏暗的门前，

她向我哭喊，“喂，为什么不多索求一些？”

Oh like a bird on the wire,

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free.

像一只电线杆上的鸟

像一个午夜唱诗班的醉汉

我试着，以我的方式企及自由
