- The rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night
昨天深夜,大兵們回到了哈林區的老家
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine
同時,'魔術鼠'開著他的好車,('魔術鼠'是個古惑仔）
over the Jersey state line
穿過了紐澤西州.
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
光著腳的女孩坐在道奇車前蓋上
drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
在纏綿的夏雨中,入口的啤酒,已不再冰涼
The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants,
'魔鼠仔'車駛進了城,他捲起了褲腿
together they take a stab at romance and disappear down Flamingo Lane
他們魔術鼠和光腳的女孩)一起渡過了一段浪漫時光,然後消失在了佛朗明哥小巷裡.
Well the Maximum Lawman run down Flamingo
同時,大蓋帽警察一路趕到了佛朗明哥小巷
chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl
來追捕鼠仔和光腳女孩
And the kids 'round here look just like shadows,
這裡的孩子像是沉默的黑影
always quiet, holding hands
牽著手悄悄藏在暗處
From the churches to the jails
從教堂到監獄
tonight all is silence in the world
今晚的世界,一片寂靜
As we take our stand down in Jungleland
就像我們面對的是一片鋼筋水泥森林
午夜出動的幫派們紛紛現身
The midnight gang's assembled
挑選了一個聚集地點.
and picked a rendezvous for the night
他們約定在埃克森石油公司巨大的燈箱下見面,
They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign
這個燈箱照亮了整個城市
that brings this fair city light
高速公路旁,一出好戲就要上演
Man, there's an opera out on the Turnpike,
小巷裡的芭蕾舞劇(鬥毆),馬上就要開幕
there's a ballet being fought out in the alley
直到當地的警察趕來,閃著警燈,鳴著警笛,撕裂了夜的寧靜
Until the local cops, Cherry Tops, rips this holy night
街頭的幫派就是靠這種地下交易而生活
The street's alive as secret debts are paid,
來無影呀,去無踪
contacts made, they vanished unseen
彈吉他的小子們啊
Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades
為了錄一張唱片而奔波
hustling for the record machine
飢餓與被淘汰的焦慮,在搖滾樂隊裡迅速蔓延
The hungry and the hunted explode into rock and roll bands
這種在大街上彼此對立的臉色
They faced off against each other out in the street
充斥在這片都市叢林
down in Jungleland
吉他solo
(guitar solo)
在停車場,潮人們衣著光鮮閃亮
In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage
後街里,女孩們隨著唱片裡音樂的節奏起舞
Inside the backstreet girls are dancing to the records
.
that the deejay plays
寂寞的愛侶在黑暗的角落裡掙扎（魔術手和光腳姑娘）
Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners
越夜越絕望
desperate as the night moves on
霎那間,他們消失了
Just one look and a whisper, they're gone
薩克斯solo
(saxophone solo)
一座城,兩顆驛動的心
Beneath the city two hearts beat,
緊閉的臥室裡,兩人的靈魂交彙在這溫柔的夜裡.
soul engines running through a night so tender
欲拒還迎....最後聽之任之(.這個是說鼠仔和光腳女該...)
In a bedroom locked, in whispers of soft refusal and then surrender
在這城市的某個隧道裡,鼠仔被自己的夢一槍擊倒了.
In the tunnels uptown, the Rat's own dream guns him down
槍聲迴響在這夜空中
as shots echo down them hallways in the night
當救護車載走鼠仔的時候,現場早已空無一人
No one watches when the ambulance pulls away
也沒有人注意到,女孩熄滅了臥室的燈
or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light
外面的街道中,真實的死亡華爾茲在跳著火舞.
Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz
在這血肉之軀間,多麼的夢幻
between what's flesh and what's fantasy
而那些所謂的詩人不會寫任何東西。
And the poets down here don't write nothing at all,
只是站在一邊,任由它發生
they just stand back and let it all be
在一夜之間
And in the quick of the night
他們想抓住機會，真誠的站出來，做些什麼
they reach for their moment and try to make an honest stand
但是,迎接他們的將是,要生不得要死不能的痛苦
But they wind up wounded, not even dead,
今夜,在這冷漠的都市叢林....
tonight in Jungleland ...
