Lou Reed《Men of good fortune》天下富豪

Men of good fortune

天下富豪
often cause empires to fall

常招致帝国灭亡
While men of poor beginnings

而贫寒百姓
often can't do anything at all

亦只能听天由命

The rich son waits for his father to die

富翁之子盼父死
the poor just drink and cry

穷苦百姓挣扎求存
And me, I just don't care at all

而我……却不以为然

Men of good fortune

天下富豪
very often can't do a thing

常常一事无成
While men of poor beginnings

而贫寒百姓
often can do anything

常常有所作为

At heart they try to act like a man

他们内心在大声呐喊 要活得坚强
handle things the best way they can

面对困难从容自如
They have no rich, daddy to fall back on

他们没有富贵老爹可以依仗

Men of good fortune天下富豪
often cause empires to fall

常招致帝国灭亡
While men of poor beginnings

而贫寒百姓
often can't do anything at all

亦只能听天由命

It takes money to make money they say

常人云，钱能生钱
look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way

看看那些大亨，他们便能使钱生钱
Anyway, it makes no difference to me

而我……却不以为然

Men of good fortune

天下富豪
often wish that they could die

常希望能脱离苦海
While men of poor beginnings

而贫寒百姓
want what they have and to get it they'll die

却奢望荣华富贵
All those great things that live has to give

为达目的他们不惜一切
they wanna have money and live

美好事物需用生命来做代价  他们想过富足生活
But me, I just don't care at all

而我……却不以为然
Men of good fortune
men of poor beginnings
Men of good fortune
men of poor beginnings
Men of good fortune
men of poor beginnings
Men of good fortune
men of poor beginnings
