New York state of mind　　Billy Joel

New York state of mind　　Billy Joel

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind

I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind

*It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News

**It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind (*,**)

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind

心懷紐約　　比利喬

有些人喜歡遠行
離開街坊鄰居去度假
飛到邁阿密海灘或好萊塢
但我正搭著灰狗巴士逛著哈德遜河
我總是心懷紐約

所有的電影明星我都看過
看過他們坐在酷炫的轎車或加長型禮車裡
我還到過高聳的、萬年常綠的洛磯山脈
但我清楚自己需要什麼
我不想再虛擲時光
我心中只有紐約

日復一日，生活輕鬆自在
和節奏與藍調完全脫節
但我需要一些訊息交流
藉由紐約時報和紐約每日新聞

終究要回歸現實
但我無妨，因為我都隨它去
我不在乎去唐人街或哈德遜河畔
沒有任何原因
我全都豁出去了
我總是心懷紐約

我正搭著灰狗巴士逛著哈德遜河
因為我心中只有紐約
