「For Free」(無償)
I slept last night in a good hotel
我昨晚在一間不錯的酒店睡了一覺
I went shoppin' today for jewels
我今天去了買珠寶
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
風在骯髒的小鎮上亂飆
And the children let out from their school
小孩被允許離開學校
I was standin' on a noisy corner
我站在一個嘈吵的角落
Waitin' for the walkin' green
等待着綠燈
Across the street, he stood
他站在對面街
And he played real good
無償地
On his clarinet for free
美好地演奏他的單簧管
Now me, I play for fortunes
現在我,為錢
And those velvet curtain calls
和那些柔和的歡呼聲而演奏
I've got a black Limousine and two gentlemen
我有一輛加長型轎車和兩位
Who escort me through these halls
在會堂護裏送我的男士
And I'll play if you've got the money
要是你有錢或者是我的朋友
Or if you're a friend to me
我會為你演奏
But the one-man band by thе quick lunch stand
但快餐售賣亭旁的一人樂隊
He's been playin' real good for free
一直無償地美好地演奏着
Nobody stopped to hеar him
雖然他的演奏甜美又激昂
Though he played so sweet and high
但是沒有人聽下聆聽
They knew he had never been on the TV
他們知道他從沒有上過節目
So they passed his music by
所以他們沒有理會他的音樂
I meant to go over and ask for a song
我特意走過去點了首歌
Maybe put on a harmony
叫他或者彈奏個和弦
I heard his refrain as the signal changed
當信號燈改變時我聽到他的副歌
He was playin' real good for free
他無償地美好地演奏着I slept last night in a good hotel
