And for my opening line
就我可被坚挺的音乐电话（那个年代的东西）来讲
I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind.
我并不是想要来表明我思绪的状态
I turn you on,
可我使你燃起了兴趣
I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
我只是告诉你，我笑，只是为了跟哭保持距离
And bringing music when you hear it,
并且带来音乐，就是你听到它的时候
Keep on trying to get near it.
继续试着接近它吧
A little rhythm for your spirit
恰适你心灵的点点街节拍
Oh but that's what it's for
对 我们达到目的地了（指的是我们对音乐感同身受了）
Come on in, here's the door
进来吧，入口就在这里
And I've seen a sparrow get high
我看到了一只变得欢腾的麻雀
And waste his time in the sky
在天空悠悠地浪费时间
He thinks it's easy to fly
他认为飞翔何等容易
He's just a little bit freer than I
而他只是比我更自在那么一点点
Down here on the ground
就在这里坐下吧
When you find folks are giving you the runaround
当你发现民间乐将你草草打发
Keep your game uptight
把你的游戏封住瓶口
And if you must just take your secrets underground
并将你秘密埋入地下
Now politicians are trying to speech you
现在，**们努力地对你说教
Very few will really try to reach you
但没有人是真正想达到那个目标
If you're lost in a stack
若你迷失在一团糟
That's OK, come all black
那没问题，一切从头来过
Now I'd be the last to deny
现在我将表最后一个态
That I'm just an average guy
我只是个正常而平凡的人
And don't you know each little bird in the sky
你难道不知道每一只在天空的小鸟
Is just a little bit freer than I
就只比我自在那么一点点
Hey ordinary Joe
嘿，普通到不能再普通的人
Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
别管他们说你懒惰 怎样怎样
What they think is real
他们知道什么
Is nothing but an animated puppet show
什么都不知道，而那只是一长热烈的木偶讨论秀
So don't let time and space confuse you And don't let name and form abuse you
然而，别让时间和形式滥用了你（你滥用你的时间而不要时间去滥用了你）
Let that Big Joe Williams blues you
让大威廉姆斯将你沉淀
In the light of the sun you can see how they burn
在阳光中，你自会看见太阳如何燃烧
