男孩在杂草里发现了一枚硬币  A boy with a coin he found in the weeds
还有几颗子弹和几本商业杂志  With bullets and pages of trade magazines
他身旁的一辆车子忽然急速转向  Close to a car that flipped on the turn
上帝让尘土遍布世界  When God left the ground to circle the world

女孩在雪地里发现一只小鸟  A girl with a bird she found in the snow
当它飞到自己的长外衣上，女孩才发觉  Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
女孩出生时上帝给了她一双哭泣的眼睛  That God made her eyes for crying at birth
于是尘土遍布地球  Then left the ground to circle the Earth

男孩把硬币塞进牛仔裤  A boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
许愿之后把它扔进大海  Then making a wish he tossed in the sea
然后一直走到我们诞生的小镇  Walked to a town that all of us burn
上帝让尘土遍布世界  When God left the ground to circle the world

       [译注]：弗拉明戈舞（Flamenco Dance）和斗牛是西班牙的两大国粹，《Boy With A Coin（持币男孩）》在弗拉明戈曲风基础上，糅合乡村民谣，抒发浓郁的伤感情怀。
