American Tune 

美調

Many's the time I've been mistaken

多少受屈辱的時候

And many times confused

又多少困惑的時刻

Yes, and I've often felt forsaken

是的，感受到被遺棄

And certainly misused

得不到別人的賞識

Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right

噢，這又何需介懷，毋用記掛

I'm just weary to my bones

這只不過是刻骨銘心的煩擾

Still, you don't expect to be

仍然不記以厚望

Bright and bon vivant

天資聰敏，生活講究

So far away from home, so far away from home

離鄉別井，長路漫漫

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered

我不知沒有被糟撻的靈魂

I don't have a friend who feels at ease

但沒有朋友替我開解

I don't know a dream that's not been shattered

我不知會有從不破碎的夢想

or driven to its knees

即使卑躬屈膝

but it's all right, it's all right

但又何需介懷，毋用記掛

for we lived so well so long

同舟共濟多時，生活無憂

Still, when I think of the

不過，當我想到

road we're traveling on

一起走下去的人生旅途

I wonder what's gone wrong

不知在那裏出錯

I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong

說是無法避免，但真不知道錯在那裏

And I dreamed I was dying

我夢見我在死亡的邊沿

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

魂不附體，隨意遊蕩

And looking back down at me

往下回望

Smiled reassuringly

微笑地給我保證

And I dreamed I was flying

我夢見我高飛

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

在虛無飄渺中清楚看到

The Statue of Liberty

自由神像

Sailing away to sea

大海慈航

And I dreamed I was crying

我夢見我在哭泣

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

在五月花號漂來

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

飛往月球

We come in the age's most uncertain hours

生不逢時，誕於亂世

and sing an American tune

高唱美調

Oh, and it's alright, it's all right, it's all right

但又何需介懷，毋用記掛，隨遇而安

You can't be forever blessed

福蔭永難存

Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day

明天又是一天工作的開始

And I'm trying to get some rest

讓我安睡

That's all I'm trying to get some rest

重拾戰鬥
