歌词：

Desperado,why don't you come to your senses？

亡命之徒，你为何执迷不悟？

You've been out-riding fences for so long now

你已经独自漂泊了很久。

Oh you're a hard one ,

喔，你是个固执的家伙。

But I know that you've got your reasons，

但是我知道你有你自己的理由，

These things that are pleasing you can hurt you somehow，

你怕这些令你喜悦的终有一天会伤害到你，

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy，

为什么不丢弃那张方片皇后，男孩？（在美国，方块皇后代表暴力），

She'll beat you if she's able，

如果她可以，她会打败你，

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet，

你知道你最好的选择一直是红心皇后。（红心皇后代表仁慈），

Now it seems to me some fine things，

现在，我眼中的好东西，

Have been laid upon your table，

都摆在了你的眼前，

But you only want the ones that you can't get，

但是你只想要你得不到的，

Desperado,oh,you ain't gettin no younger，

亡命之徒，噢，你已不再年轻，

Your pain and your hunger，

你的痛苦，你的饥饿，

They're driving you home，

他们正驱使你回家，

Freedom,oh,freedom well that's just some people talking，

自由啊，自由，那只是片面之词，

Your prison is walking through this world all alone，

你一生的孤独漂泊正如禁锢着你的铁窗，

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time，

你的双脚是否禁得住冬天的寒冷，

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine，

雪不飘舞，光被遮蔽，

It's hard to tell the night time from the day，

分不清黑夜与白昼，

You're losin' all your highs and lows ，ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away？

你将失去你的一切喜悲，这难道不可笑吗？

Desperado,why don't you come to your senses？
