I’m just a Curbside Prophet我只是一個路邊先知
with my hand in my pocket 我的手插在我的口袋
and I’m waiting for my rocket:
to come我等待著一飛沖天
I’m just a Curbside Prophet我只是一個路邊先知
with my hand in my pocket 我的手插在我的口袋
and I’m waiting for my rocket:
to y’all我等待著一飛沖天
You see it started way back in NYC這一切自紐約市開始
When I stole my first ~rhyme~ from the M-I-C
At ‘a West End Avenue at 63
It’s a beginning of a leap year February ‘96從一個閏年二月的開始在西63大街尾 我自麥克風中唱出了第一個韻腳
play the guitar picked it up in the mix然後自己邊彈吉他邊唱
I committed to the licks like a nickel bag ‘o tricks我以唱歌努力維生
Well…嗯..
Look at me now現在快看我
Look at me now現在快看我
Look at me now now now now. 現在快看我
I’m just a Curbside Prophet我只是一個路邊先知

Well then you never da never da guess what I been been been
And I have no regrets that I bet my whole checking account我敢以我整個支票帳戶打賭 你老是在猜曾在哪見過我…
Because it all amounts to nothing up in the end但這是沒有結果的一件事
Well you can only count that “On The Road Again” 你只能指望：“再次在路上遇見我〞
Will soon be on my radio dial我即將打開收音機
And I’ll be paying close attention to the Willie Nelson style我會密切關注威利納爾遜風格
Like a a band of gypsies on the highway wild就像一個吉普賽人的樂隊在路上發瘋
As I’m a one-man mission on the Califoria Skyline Drive
Up the coast I brag and I boast我的使命就是在加州的雲路到海岸的路段吹牛和誇耀
because I’m picking up a pace that make you tire like “Space Ghost” 因為當我提起吉他開始彈奏，便可以使你的駐足不前
Raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most 來吧向高速公路舉杯
But my cruise control’s on coast可我卻在海邊留連
Cause I’m tourin’ around the nation on extended vacation因為我在全國旅行
See I got Elsa the dog who ~exceeds~ my limitation我看到了艾爾莎的狗 它讓我失控
I say , “I like your style…crazy pound pup!
You need to ride? Well come on girl, hop in the truck!”
With the Curbside Prophet我對狗說，“我喜歡你的風格 ...瘋狗！ 想去兜風嗎？來吧，女孩，快跳上我的車吧…和路邊的先知 兜風去吧…〞

See I’m a down-home brother red-neck undercover我是一個鄉巴佬有著紅脖子
With my guitar here I’m ready to play 我有一把吉他而我將要彈奏它
And I’m a sucker for a Philly got a na-tur-al ability 我是依個具有天生神力者
Geared to free-style look at my flexibility走的是隨性風…來吧…看看我的隨性
Dangerous on the MIC喔…危險的麥克風
My ghetto hat's cocked right我豎起我的窮酸樣的帽子
All the ladies say…所有的女士們都說 ..
“Yo that kid is crazy!” “喲…這孩子瘋了！”
We got the backstage Bettys takin’ more than they can get They say,
“What’s up with M-R-A-Z?” 我聽見她們在背後悄悄地說: MRAZ是怎麼搞的
Hey hey hey hey hey 嘿嘿嘿…
Somethin’s different in the world today 當今已經有很多東西都不一樣了
Well they changed my traffic signs to a brighter yellow 他們把我的的紅綠燈改成了黃燈

Jason’s music works are sharp, particular. He is good at mixing many elements of music to create audio balance that really makes people having novel and fun, and most importantly, his music offer a fabulous audio experience .The lyrics are provoking and after listening to it just once, you'll feel like you have stumbled upon a buried treasure.
傑森的音樂作品風格銳利、特別。他十分擅長融合多種音樂元素去創造出一種聽覺上的平衡，而這讓聽眾感到新鮮和有趣，更重要的是他的音樂提供了一項很棒的聽覺經驗。在聽過第一次時，就覺得歌詞頗發人深省，而有一種挖到寶了的感覺。
I like how he's a good blend of acoustic, rock, hip hop, funk, pop. I like his choice of doing variety, similar to Chinese artists. Most artists in Taiwan like to dabble in various styles unlike American music where they focus on one style and one style only. I enjoy his light cali-acoustic rock. Melodic and catchy makes those easy sing-a-long songs fantastic.
我喜歡他混合了聲樂，搖滾，嘻哈，放克，流行的風格。我喜歡他類似於華人音樂家的混搭風。在台灣藝術家喜歡涉足各種風格的音樂，他們不像美國只專注於一種風格，一個樣式。我喜歡他的輕卡利聲搖滾。吸引人的旋律使那些簡單的歌動人。
The album shows the true styles of Mraz and all of his amazing abilities as a musician. The essence of what Jason Mraz is comes shining through on this autobiographical song, "curbside prophet" Quick and witty rhymes, over a curiously successful banjo accompaniment, tell the story of a self-proclaimed redneck and his journey to fame. I love this song and recommend it.
瑪耶茲的專輯展露了他驚人的音樂能力和音樂風格。這首自傳式的歌曲讓瑪耶茲的個人特質閃耀。〝路邊先知〞這首歌快速和詼諧押韻，加上班卓琴伴奏，創造出一種奇特的味道，講著一個鄉下人和他的成名之旅的故事。我喜歡這首個並且推薦之。
