The Cage

Written by：Elton John/Bernie Taupin
（他的父親有War II的戰後創傷）
Have you ever lived in a cage
你曾經困於方寸之間嗎
Where you live to be whipped and be tamed
活著卻被扭曲了人格
For I've never loved in a cage
我一點也不喜歡那些條條框框
Or talked to a friend or just waved
比如禮節卻沒有人情
Well I walk while they talk about virtue
我路過時人們在談論著高尚美德
Just raised on my back legs and snarled
卻在背後對我們指指點點惡語相向
Watched you kiss your old daddy with passion
你親吻著死去的父親
And tell dirty jokes as he died
卻被葬禮上的其他人污穢的嘲笑
But I'm damned when I really care there
當我實實在在的在乎的時候真的出離的憤怒
For the cellar's the room in your lives
你的那間居酒屋
Where you lace yourself with bad whiskey
你喜歡獨自一人閉塞的平常美妙卻殘酷的威士忌
And close the cage doors on your life
當關上那扇門時也關上了你心靈的窗戶
Well I pray while you bathe in bad water
你洗澡的時候我在祈禱
Sing songs that I learnt as a boy
你洗完澡後會來我床邊唱小時候給我唱的歌
Then break all the bones in my body
那些音樂美妙得銷魂入骨我能快速入睡
On the bars you can never destroy
你在酒吧里總是千杯不醉
Have you ever lived in a cage
你曾經困於方寸之間嗎
Where you live to be whipped and be tamed
活著卻被扭曲了人格
For I've never loved in a cage
我一點也不喜歡那些條條框框
Or talked to a friend or just waved
請你來世做一個充滿愛的papa
