and horrors of Third Avenue Iron dreams

驱散了他们地窖里的宿醉
and stumbled to unemployment offices,

既而一头跌进失业救济所的大门
who created great suicidal dramas

他们攀上哈德逊河岸绝壁公寓的楼顶
on the apartment cliff banks of the Hudson

在战乱年代水银灯般的蓝色月光下
under the wartime blue floodlight of the moon

上演惨痛的自杀悲剧
and their heads shall be crowned with laurel in oblivion,

他们的头颅将在冥府冕以桂冠
who wept at the romance of the streets

他们推着装满洋葱和劣质乐器的手推车
with their pushcarts full of onions and bad music,

对着街头的浪漫史哭泣
who sat in boxes breathing in the darkness under the bridge,

他们走投无路坐在纸箱里呼吸大桥底的黑暗
and rose up to build harpsichords in their lofts,

然后爬上自己的阁楼制造羽管键琴
who scribbled all night

他们整夜信笔涂鸦
rocking and rolling over lofty incantations

念着高深的摇滚咒语
