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
