Stars-Nina Simone
Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
星星来了又离开，来得或快或慢
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
它们离开时就像太阳最后的一缕阳光，一切都在光辉之中
And all you see is glory
你所见的一切都很闪耀
Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
当那里不再有人一起欣赏这片夜空时，星星开始变得孤单起来
We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story
如果你听过这么一个故事，或许就能避免这样的事
People lust for fame like athletes in a game,
人们像赛场上的运动员般追名逐利
We break our collarbones and come up swinging,
他们为生活拼尽全力在人海中浮浮沉沉
Some of us are downed
他们中的一些人就此沉沦
Some of us are crowned, and some are lost and never found
他们中的一些人获冠加冕
But most have seen it all,
还有一些人就此离去再也找不到了
They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
但大多数人只看到了这些
And they always have a story
他们生活在悲伤的咖啡馆和音乐厅
Some make it when they're young,
他们都有一段故事
Before the world has done it's dirty job
有些人在他们年轻时就开始这么做了
And later on someone will say
(在他们)在这个世界做了肮脏的工作之前
"You've had your day, now you must make way"
有人会对他们说
But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned
你可以过你想过的日子，但是现在你必须妥协
Or the many years forgetting what you know too well
但他们永远不会知道你为了一个从未想过拥有的名字而活是多么地痛苦
That you gave the crown have been let down
或者多年后你忘记你知道的如此之多
You try to make amends without defending
你给予的王冠又被摘下
Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes
没有防卫的你尝试去弥补
of young men of twenty-five
也许假装你从来没有见过二十五岁的年轻男子
That follow as you walk and ask for autographs
跟着你走，向你索要签名
And kiss you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you
亲吻你的脸颊，你永远不能相信他们是真的爱你
Some make it when they're old
当他们中的一些人变老的时候
(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
也许他们有一个不怕暴露的灵魂
Or perhaps there's nothing there)
又或者可能他们其实空空如也
But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say
但是无论如何，这都不是我真正想说的话
I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day
我想要讲一个故事，我的生活一天一天地度过
Stars, they come and go, they're coming fast they come slow
星星来了又离开，来得或快或慢
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
它们离开时就像太阳最后的一缕阳光，一切都在光辉之中
And all you see is glory
你所见的一切都很闪耀
But if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around
如果你不介意耐心听我四处唠嗑的话
I'll come up singing for you, even when I'm down
我会为你歌唱，即使在我失落的时候
