"New York"是Jay Z的一首歌,以下是歌曲中的一些歌詞:
(主歌)
Life's like a marathon, a street, like Madison Square
紐約像一場馬拉松,在第六大道上如Madison Square Garden
Your one, you the star of the parade
你就是獨一無二的跑者,也是隊伍的明星
Yo I ain't tryin'a sell them pain for happiness, and its too heavy
我不會用傷痛來換取快樂,這不是明智的選擇
(副歌)
I'm from New York
我是來自紐約
All them streets, that made it
來自那條成就了我的街道
Made it from the street corners, with nothing to show
從一個角落一路走來,雖然一無所有
New York made me a star, forever a king of New York
紐約成就了我,永遠是我在這裡的王者
(主歌)
If I can survive all the enemies and myself, I will survive again
如果我能在所有人和我自己之間存活下來,我會再次倖存下來
Forgive the girl with a pair of Louis' in the Gucci handbag, hustle from her legs
當她的腳上的Gucci包里是路易斯的小偷的時候,請不要怪我。儘管她是依靠著這些生活。
All we wanted was bread and noor for our head
我們只想要一些麵包和一份屬於我們自己的光明
So we can stand tall and say we made it out alive
所以我們可以昂首挺胸的說我們成功活了下來
(副歌)
I'm from New York
我是來自紐約
All them streets, that made it

Made it from the street corners, with nothing to show
從一個角落一路走來,雖然一無所有
New York made me a star, forever a king of New York
紐約成就了我,永遠是我在這裡的王者
(橋段)
And I ain't even from New York, but I feel like one of ya'll
我甚至不是來自紐約,但我卻感覺像是你們中的一員
Yeah, I ain't even from Brooklyn, but I love it so much
是的,我甚至不是布魯克林的,但我卻深深地愛著它
Brooklyn never sleep, they never rest, they never stop
布魯克林永不沉睡,他們從不休息,他們永不停歇。
I'm just a kid from the block, I ain't even supposed to be here now, but here I am now.
我只是一個來自街頭的孩子,我甚至不應該在這裡,但現在我卻在這裡。
