[00:00:08] //

[00:00:08] In the streets around here

[00:00:10] 在这条街上

[00:00:10] There was nobody tougher than me

[00:00:16] 没有人比我坚强

[00:00:16] I was quick with me fists and fast with me

[00:00:19] 我眼疾手快

[00:00:19] Footwork as you can plainly see

[00:00:24] 步法如你所见

[00:00:24] But while fighting was useful for getting your way

[00:00:28] 但是如果战斗对你是有帮助的

[00:00:28] Among the toughs of the town where you could hold sway

[00:00:32] 在你可以支配思想的城镇里

[00:00:32] There had to be something that was better than this

[00:00:36] 总有比这个好的事情

[00:00:36] I was fifteen years old and I'd never been kissed

[00:00:41] 我15岁还有初吻

[00:00:41] Well of course she'd ignore me her friends would all sneer

[00:00:45] 她无视我的存在，她的朋友都在嘲笑我

[00:00:45] At me bloody nose dripping and me cauliflower ear

[00:00:49] 我那流血的鼻子，我的菜花耳

[00:00:49] For it's hard to convince in a romantic pose

[00:00:53] 这很难用浪漫的姿态解释

[00:00:53] With a lovely black eye and a broken nose

[00:00:57] 用可爱的明眸和受伤的鼻子

[00:00:57] Where a girl is attracted to skills more refined

[00:01:01] 一个姑娘容易被一些技巧吸引

[00:01:01] Than the pugilist's art and so I inclined

[00:01:05] 远比拳击艺术更加精妙，我更倾向于

[00:01:05] To take meself serious as a modern romancer

[00:01:09] 把自己当成虚构小说的作家

[00:01:09] And I secretly learnt all the moves of a dancer

[00:01:14] 我悄悄掌握了舞者的动作

[00:01:14] Ye swing to the left ye swing to the right

[00:01:18] 向左摇摆，向右摇摆

[00:01:18] Keep your eyes on your partner more or less like a fight

[00:01:22] 眼神盯着舞伴，至少看起来像场战斗

[00:01:22] Ye just follow the rhythm and ye keep to the beat

[00:01:25] 跟着节奏跳动

[00:01:25] The important thing's never to look at your feet

[00:01:30] 重要的是不要盯着你的脚

[00:01:30] Then a miracle happens your mind's in a trance

[00:01:34] 奇迹发生了，你的思想在沉睡

[00:01:34] Though the strategy's subtle retreat and advance

[00:01:38] 战略很微妙，以退为进

[00:01:38] It's all about attitude all in your stance

[00:01:42] 这需要态度，取决于你的姿态

[00:01:42] Attention to detail leaving nothing to chance

[00:01:45] 注重细节，不要留有后路

[00:01:45] Which explains how the pugilist finally learned how to dance

[00:01:54] 拳击手最后学会如何跳舞

[00:01:54] Well I'd waltz with a broomstick and if I was caught

[00:01:58] 如果我被抓着 我宁愿自己和扫帚跳舞

[00:01:58] I'd pretend I was sweeping or practicing sport

[00:02:02] 我会伪装成自己在打扫或是在练习

[00:02:02] But I really had eyes for your mother ye see

[00:02:18] I knew it was risky and I was taking a chance

[00:02:22] 我知道自己在铤而走险

[00:02:22] I couldn't retreat now I had to advance

[00:02:30] Keep me eyes on me partner like I would in a fight
