The Rich Life Of A Poor Man

If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell
若果你有時間的話，我這有個故事
Of how I lost my money in a wishing well
“我到底是怎麼在許願井破產的。”
And I know it's all just a distant memory
我知道這雖然都是好久以前了
But I hope that you'll remember me
但是我希望你還能記得我
I wanted out through the hard times
我在困難時期也想過逃避
Felt every doubt more than one time
覺得所有人都在不止一次的懷疑我
And I'll sit it out, watch the world pass from the sidelines
我只想當個局外人，看著世界的剪影從我眼閃過
Hoping I'm not just a punchline in a joke I didn't get
希望我不是我聽不懂的笑話裡的笑點
But I would never let it go down that way
但是我不會放任不管
'Cause at the end of the day
因為今日之末乃是新的開始
If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell
若果你有時間的話，我就給你講個故事
Of how I lost my money in a wishing well
“我到底是怎麼在許願井破產的。”
And I know it's all just a distant memory
我知道這雖然都是好久以前了
But I hope that you'll remember me
但是我希望你還能記得我
Summertime brought a falling feeling
夏天總是帶來挫敗的感覺
Loose change spent on hopeless dreaming
唯一的積蓄也花費在無望的美夢中
I know it's a distant memory
我知道這雖然是很久以前了
But I hope that you'll remember me
但我希望你能記住我
I've broken down ten miles away
我也落魄於他鄉
I've seen the sun, I've burnt my face
我曾見過太陽燒傷了我的臉
It's not that clever
那可不太明智
I'm throwing coins into the blue
我還在將硬幣丟進水中
Wishful thinking coming true
美好的願望成真
So look around, take in the view
所以鎮定下來看看周圍
It's getting better
一切都在變好
Because I never let it go down that way
因為我從沒有放任自己墮落
And at the end of the day
並且今日之末是嶄新的未來
If you've got the time , I've got a story to tell

And I know it's all just a distant memory
我知道那雖然是很久以前了
But I hope that you'll remember me
但我希望你能學到這一課
Summertime brought a falling feeling
夏日總是和挫敗感一起襲來
Loose change spent on hopeless dreaming
積蓄消費在無望的美夢中
I know it's a distant memory

I wanted out, 'cause I saw disaster
我想要逃避因為我看見了災難般的未來
I watched it break when it bent
我看到了他在我的毅力之下粉碎
I wanted out, 'cause I saw disaster

I watched it break when it bent
但是災難在我眼前因為我的努力毀滅了
It's all a means to an end

A means to an end
未來的果掌握在自己的手中
