- On the Umea ferry
在Umea轮渡上
While we were drinking our morning coffee
我们品着早间咖啡
A troubadour came on and played some old Eric Clapton
一个民谣歌手来唱了两支Eric Clapton的老歌
Followed by the lonely sound of nobody clapping
迎来了无人的寂寞掌声
And you said, "Why do you think he's doing this?"
你说 “你觉得他为什么这样做”
And I opened my mouth full of prejudice
我张开了满是偏见的嘴
And said, "He probably had dreams of making it big."
我说 “他也许有个巨星之梦”
A bit narrow-minded of me, I have to admit
我承认自己心胸有些狭窄
But I been wondering each night of this tour
但这趟旅程的每晚我都在思索
What would it be like if nobody listened anymore
如果没有人聆听 会怎样呢
Would I still write songs and would I still sing?
我还会写歌吗 我还会唱下去吗
Would music still have the same meaning?
音乐的意义会保持不变吗
I don't think I could sit on a ferry plane
我觉得我没法在轮渡上待下去
For turned backs and blank faces half-sleeping
对着人们的后背 和除了困意一无所有的面庞
So what drives this man to keep going?
所以是什么让这个人坚持下去
And just then, as if he'd been listening
就在这时 仿佛在被人聆听一样
The troubadour sang, and I'm quoting
他唱了起来 让我引用他的话

没有什么能规定我的一举一动
I'm a troubadour, that's what I do

Ain't got no bars to tell me what to do

I'm a music man and that's what I do
