THE GREATEST 天生好手 (Written by Don Schlitz) Little boy, in a baseball hat 一個小男孩，戴著一頂棒球帽 Stands in the field with his ball and bat 手拿他的球與棒，站在球場上 Says, \"I am the greatest player of them all\" 他說，「我是所有球員裡最棒的一個」 Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball 他把球棒舉到肩上，然後投起他的球 And the ball goes up and the ball comes down 球飛起，球落下 Swings his bat all the way around 他使勁的全力揮出球棒 The world so still you can hear the sound 整個世界如此的寧靜，你可以聽到 The baseball falls to the ground 棒球落到地面的聲音 Now the little boy doesn\'t say a word 小男孩一個字也沒說 Picks up his ball, he is undeterred 撿起他的球，他毫不氣餒 Says, \"I am the greatest there has ever been\" 他說，「我是所有球員裡最棒的一個」 And he grits his teeth and he tries it again 然後他咬緊牙關，再試一次 And the ball goes up and the ball comes down 球飛起，球落下 Swings his bat all the way around 他使勁的全力揮出球棒 The world so still you can hear the sound 整個世界如此的寧靜，你可以聽到 The baseball falls to the ground 棒球落到地面的聲音 He makes no excuses 他沒有替自己找任何藉口 He shows no fear 他沒有露出絲毫畏懼 He just closes his eyes 他只是閉上眼睛 And listens to the cheers 傾聽著觀眾的歡呼 Little boy, he adjusts his hat 小男孩調整一下他的帽子 Picks up his ball, stares at his bat 撿起他的球，注視著他的球棒 Says, \"I am the greatest, the game is on the line\" 他說，「我是最棒的，球賽正在進行中」 And he gives his all one last time 接著他最後一次使出他的全力 And the ball goes up while the moon\'s so bright 球高高飛起，當月光無比明亮 Swings his bat with all his might 他用盡全力揮出他的球棒 The world\'s as still, as still can be 整個世界靜得不能再靜 The baseball falls and that\'s strike three 棒球落地，那已經是三振 Now it\'s suppertime and his momma calls 晚餐\時間到了，他的媽媽在呼喚 Little boy starts home with his bat and ball 小男孩拿起他的棒與球，踏上歸途 Says, \"I am the greatest, that is a fact 他說，「我是最棒的，那可是事實 But even I didn\'t know I could pitch like that!\" 但連我自己都不知道我能夠那樣的投球！」 Says, \"I am the greatest, that is understood 他說，「我是最棒的，大家都已經公認 But even I didn\'t know I could pitch that good!\" 但連我自己都不知道我可以投得那麼好！」 --
