鳳凰河——River Phoenix
Young and strong Hollywood son
年輕力壯的好萊塢小子
In the early morning light
在清晨的陽光下
This star fell down
這顆星星墜落了
On Sunset Boulevard
在日落大道上
Young and strong beautiful one
青春健美的人
We embraced so close
我們如此親密的擁抱著
Is gone
離開了
Was torn away
全撕破了
Let the youth of America mourn
讓美國的年輕人哀痛
Include him in their prayers
人們在禱告中也包括著他
Let his image linger on
讓他的意向一直存在
Repeat it everywhere
四下里到處都重複著(他已離去）
...
With candles, with flowers
帶著鮮花和蠟燭
He was one of ours
他是我們中的一員
One of ours
我們中的一員

為什麼任由他離去
Why dont you let him be?
他已經離去
Hes gone
我們知道
We know
（請）給予他母親和父親安心
Give his mother and his father peace
你貪婪的坦率
Your vultures candor
你漫不經心的誹謗
Your casual slander
你令人沮喪的往事
You murder his memory
他已離去
Hes gone
我們知道
We know
這無非是一個悲劇
Its nothing but a tragedy
安葬你的靈魂和身體

安葬”你的雅號“在旁邊
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驚異的優雅
Lay to rest your rage
Your hunger and amazing grace
帶著鮮花和蠟燭
...
你是我們中的一員
With candles, with flowers
我們中的一員
You were one of ours
我看見照相機揭露了你的生活
One of ours
我聽到謠言在謊言中迅速擴大

我看見孩子含著眼淚
I saw cameras expose your life
視野內一大群人團團圍住的哭喊著
I heard rumors explode with lies
在那裡，那天你“倒塌”的地方
I saw children in tears
那裡，是你最後一次呼吸，最後一次講出話語的地方
Cry and crowd around the sight
嘆息
Of where you had collapsed that day
你的心在哪裡破裂
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
我看到他們在悲傷中迷失
Where you had died
每個人都相信你已然離去
Where you had died
遺失和痛苦屬於事實
I saw how they were lost in grieving
罪惡和羞愧屬於事實
All half believing you were gone
你已離去
The loss and pain of it
這是一場可怕的噩夢
Crime and shame of it
我們怎樣才能挽回他？
You were gone
我看到他們在悲傷中迷失
It was such a nightmare raving,
每個人都相信你已然離去
'how could we save him from himself? '
遺失和痛苦屬於事實
I saw how they were lost in grieving
罪惡和羞愧屬於事實
All half believing you were gone
你已離去
The loss and pain of it
——致River Phoenix
Crime and shame of it
You were gone
