It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
週六晚上九點
The regular crowd shuffles in
常客漸漸湧進
There's an old man sittin' next to me
有個老頭坐在我旁邊
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
和他的通寧琴酒溫存
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
他說: 孩子，你能不能為我彈奏一曲回憶?
I'm not really sure how it goes
我已經記不得曲調
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
悲傷交織甜蜜，當我還年輕時
我能清楚記得整首歌
La, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
為我們唱首歌吧，鋼琴家
Sing us a song tonight
今晚為我們唱首歌吧
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
我們都想要來點旋律
And you've got us feelin' alright
而你讓我們感到安心
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
在吧台工作的強是我朋友
He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
他機智風趣，還會幫你點菸
But there's some place that he'd rather be
但他更情願待在其他地方
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
他說: 比爾，我快窒息了
As the smile ran away from his face
笑容從他的臉上淡去
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
嗯，我很確定我可以成為電影明星
If I could get out of this place"
如果我可以逃離這個鬼地方
Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
