Early Days

They can't take it from me if they try
無論如何他們也不能奪走
I lived through those early days
我的往昔歲月
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
無數次我需要強顏歡笑
Just to keep from getting crazed
只為逃離傷痛的魔掌
Dressed in black from head to toe
記得我們倆從頭到腳穿著一身黑
Two guitars across our backs
每人背著一把吉他
We would walk the city roads
走過城市的街道
Seeking someone who would listen to the music
尋找願意聆聽的知音
That we were writing down at home
欣賞我們在家中寫下的旋律
But they can't take it from me if they try
無論如何他們也不能奪走
I lived through those early days
我的往昔歲月
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
無數次我需要強顏歡笑
Just to keep from getting crazy
只為逃離傷痛的魔掌
Hair slicked back with Vaseline
用髮膠將頭髮向後梳得服帖
Like the pictures on the wall
就像當地唱片店的牆上掛的
Of the local record shop
那些老照片裡一樣
Hearing noises we were destined to remember
聽著那些我們銘記一生的“噪音”
We willed the thrill to never stop
決心永遠年輕永遠熱淚盈眶
May sweet memories of friends from the past
希望那些泛黃的美好回憶
Always come to you, when you look for them
當你想起舊友時能時常讓你動容
And your inspiration, long may it last
希望你的靈感之源永不枯竭
May it come to you, time and time again
一次次造訪你的內心
Now everybody seems to have their own opinion
現在每個人都能發表他們的“高見”
Who did this and who did that
對我們之間的事說三道四
But as for me I don't see how they can remember
但在我看來他們怎麼能記得
When they weren't where it was at
那些從未親歷過的時日
And they can't take it from me if they try
無論如何他們也不能奪走
I lived through those early days
我的往昔歲月
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
無數次我需要強顏歡笑
Just to keep from getting crazed
只為逃離傷痛的魔掌
I lived through those early days
啊我的往昔歲月
I lived through those early days
啊我的往昔歲月
