I Wish for You

I wish for you
Each small success
That makes a man a man.

I wish for you
An outside cut,
A twist of lime,
An order from the Coast,
A second look from pretty girls,
A second look for pretty girls,
And one glittering riposte.

I wish for you
Unshaven Sundays,
Brilliant Mondays,
And occasionally a day with nothing to do…
But ride waves or bikes or roller skates
And reflect, my dear, on
The importance of Not Being Corporate You.

Let others wish you
Hand-tailored suits,
English boots,
And dream executive dreams for you.
It is only money that they wish, my sweet,
But I want riches for you.


我期望你


我期望你
每一個小小的成功
它使你成為一個真正的男子漢。

我期望你
一個外來的機會，
一個意外的收穫，
一張來自西海岸的匯票，
被美麗的女孩子多看一眼，
和一個閃爍而機敏的回應。

我期望你
星期天沒刮臉，
光耀燦爛的早晨，
和有時候一天裏都很悠閒…
只踩著水波或腳踏車或溜冰鞋
而想想，我親愛的，
沒變成團體的你的重要性。

讓其他人期望你
用手縫製的衣服，
英國製的長靴，
和為你做行政官的夢。
我的愛，他們希望的只是金錢，
但我卻期望你富有。
