James 詹姆斯／Billy Joel 比利喬

James　　Billy Joel

James, we were always friends
From our childhood days
And we made our plans
And we had to go our separate ways

I went on the road
You pursued an education

James, do you like your life?
Can you find release?
And will you ever change?
Will you ever write your masterpiece?

Are you still in school?
Living up to expectations?
James, you were so relied upon
Everybody knows how hard you tried

Hey, oh, look at what a job you've done
Carrying the weight of family pride

James, you've been well behaved
You've been working hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you are?

Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody
James

I went on the road
You pursued an education

James, how you gonna know for sure?
Everything was so well organized

Hey, oh, now everything is so secure
And everybody else is satisfied

James, do you like your life?
Can you find release?
And will you ever change?
When will you write your masterpiece?
Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody
James

詹姆斯，我們一直是朋友
從孩提時代開始就是
我們制定了彼此的計劃
卻又不得不分道揚鑣

我踏上了旅途
你則追求學業

詹姆斯，你喜歡你的人生嗎？
你能找到解脫嗎？
你會做出改變嗎？
你會寫出你的傑作嗎？

你還在求學嗎？
你達到眾人的期望了嗎？
詹姆斯，你如此深受倚重
每個人都知道你有多麼努力

嘿，看看你做得多麼出色
肩負著家族的榮耀

詹姆斯，你一直表現出色
一直努力工作
但你會想永遠停滯在
別人夢想中的那個你嗎？

做對你有益的事
否則你對任何人都沒有好處
詹姆斯

我踏上了旅途
你則追求學業

詹姆斯，你怎麼能確定呢？
一切都井然步入正軌

嘿，哦，現在一切都安然無恙
其他人都很滿意

詹姆斯，你喜歡你的人生嗎？
你能找到解脫嗎？
你會做出改變嗎？
何時才能寫出你的傑作？
做對你有益的事
否則你對任何人都沒好處
詹姆斯
