Oooh oooh New York

纽约

Oooh oooh New York

纽约

Grew up in a town

我在一个小镇长大

That is famous as a place of movie scenes

那里因拍电影而出名

Noise is always loud

那里总是一片喧闹

There are sirens all around

到处都充满喧嚣

And the streets are mean

大街小巷充满欢笑

If I could make it here

如果我可以在这里一举成名

I could make it anywhere

那我就可以火遍全球

That's what they say

这就是人们口中的传闻

Seeing my face in lights

我的脸就是聚光灯下的焦点

Or my name in marquees found down Broadway

在百老汇大街 随时随地可以找到我的名字

Even if it ain't all it seems

即使事实并不全是如此

I got a pocketful of dreams

我依然带着无数憧憬

Baby I'm from

宝贝 我来自纽约

New York concrete jungle where dreams are made of

我们的梦想活跃在高楼林立之间

There's nothing you can't do

你可以无所不能

Now you're in New York

现在 你身处纽约

These streets will make you feel brand new

繁华的街道会让你感觉焕然一新

Big lights will inspire you

灯红酒绿会点燃你的激情

Hear it for New York New York New York

听听纽约的喧闹

On the avenue there ain't never a curfew

大街小巷沉浸在欢声笑语里 彻夜不休

Ladies work so hard

女人们都努力工作

Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock

整个城市仿佛一个大熔炉 容纳形形色色的人

Preachers pray to God

牧师在向上帝祈祷

Hail a gypsy cab

招手叫停一辆出租车

Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge

把我从哈莱姆带到布鲁克林大桥

Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger

今夜 有人饥肠辘辘 陷入沉睡

For more than from an empty fridge

因为冰箱里空无一物

I'm going to make it by any means

我要想方设法获得成功

I got a pocketful of dreams

我依然带着无数憧憬

Baby I'm from

宝贝 我来自纽约

New York concrete jungle where dreams are made of

One hand in the air for the big city

我只是大城市里的小小一员

Street lights big dreams all looking pretty

绚丽的灯光 大大的梦想 一切看起来都很漂亮

No place in the world that can compared

世界上没有任何地方可以与这里相提并论

Put your lighters in the air

尽情释放你内心的激情

Everybody say yeah yeah yeah yeah

大家可以畅所欲言

New York concrete jungle where dreams are made of
