America   Simon & Garfunkel

"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America

"Kathy," I said as we boarded a greyhound in Pittsburg
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery
She read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

"Kathy, I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why"
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
And they've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America
美 國   賽門與葛芬柯二重唱

「讓我們相戀,和我們的運氣結成連理,
 我的袋子裡有些房地產。」
於是我們買了一盒香菸和華納太太的派餠
出發前去尋找美國

「凱西....」我說,當我們在匹茲堡坐上灰狗巴士
「密西根現在對我來說就像一場夢。」
我花了四天從沙吉諾搭便車前來
我已開始尋找美國

在巴士上開懷大笑
和人們玩扮鬼臉的遊戲
她說那位穿防水西裝的男子是個間諜
我說:「當心點,他的領結其實是一台照相機!」

「丟根香菸給我,我的風衣裡面應該還有。」
「我們一個小時以前已經抽完最後一根了。」
於是我看著窗外的風景
她翻著雜誌
月亮從空曠的田野緩緩昇起

「凱西,我迷失了!」我說,儘管我明明知道她已睡著
「我感到空虛與痛苦,卻不知為什麼?」
數著通過紐澤西收費站的車輛
人們全是出來尋找美國的
  全是出來尋找美國的
  都是出來尋找美國的
