This star fell down

On Sunset Boulevard
在日落大道上
Young and strong beautiful one
青春健美的人
We embraced so close
我们如此亲密的拥抱着
Is gone
离开了
Was torn away
全撕破了
Let the youth of America mourn
让美国的年轻人哀痛
Include him in their prayers
人们在祷告中也包括着他
Let his image linger on
让他的意向一直存在
Repeat it everywhere
四下里到处都重复着(他已离去）
...
With candles, with flowers
带着鲜花和蜡烛
He was one of ours
他是我们中的一员
One of ours
我们中的一员

为什么任由他离去
Why don't you let him be?
他已经离去
He's gone
我们知道
We know
（请）给予他母亲和父亲安心
Give his mother and his father peace
你贪婪的坦率
Your vulture's candor
你漫不经心的诽谤
Your casual slander
你令人沮丧的往事
You murder his memory

Lay to rest your soul and body
安葬你的怒火
Lay beside your name
你的渴望得到和令人惊异的优雅
Lay to rest your rage
Your hunger and amazing grace

你是我们中的一员
With candles, with flowers
我们中的一员
You were one of ours
我看见照相机揭露了你的生活
One of ours
我听到谣言在谎言中迅速扩大

我看见孩子含着眼泪
I saw cameras expose your life
视野内一大群人团团围住的哭喊着
I heard rumors explode with lies
在那里，那天你“倒塌”的地方
I saw children in tears
那里，是你最后一次呼吸，最后一次讲出话语的地方
Cry and crowd around the sight
叹息
Of where you had collapsed that day
你的心在哪里破裂
Where your last breath and word
你“凋零”的地方
Had been sighed
你“凋零”的地方
Where your heart had burst
你“凋零”的地方
Where you had died
我看到他们在悲伤中迷失
Where you had died
每个人都相信你已然离去
Where you had died
遗失和痛苦属于事实
I saw how they were lost in grieving
罪恶和羞愧属于事实
All half believing you were gone
你已离去
The loss and pain of it
这是一场可怕的噩梦
Crime and shame of it
我们怎样才能挽回他？
You were gone
我看到他们在悲伤中迷失
It was such a nightmare raving,
每个人都相信你已然离去
"how could we save him from himself?"
遗失和痛苦属于事实
I saw how they were lost in grieving
罪恶和羞愧属于事实
All half believing you were gone
你已离去
The loss and pain of it
——致River Phoenix
Crime and shame of it
You were gone
