Lyrics：Glenn Frey
Music：Don Henley
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one,
but I know that you've got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin' you
can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy!
She'll beat you, if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me some fine things
have been laid upon your table,
but you only want the ones that you can't get.
Desperado, ah, you ain't gettin' no younger.
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home.
Freedom, oh, freedom. That's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
You're losin' all your highs and lows.
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate.
It may be rainin' , but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you (2x)
before it's too late.

亡命之徒
为何你不清醒一点
你筑起城墙把自己围起来已经很久了
噢！你真是个固执的家伙
我明白你一定有你的理由
但那些令你欢欣的事情
总有一天会伤害你
你不拿走方块皇后那张牌吗？
它将会把你击垮
红心皇后一直是你最好的一张牌
我心目中的好牌都已摊开在你的面前
但你却只要那些得不到的
亡命之徒
你已不再年轻
你的苦痛，你的饥饿
它们正催促你的归来
自由啊！自由
那只是一般人的说法
独自行走天涯就是你的囚笼
冬日里，你的双脚不觉得寒冷吗？
天空不下雪，太阳也不照耀
分辨不出白天或黑夜
你已一无所有
这种失去的感觉很可笑吧
亡命之徒
你为何还不清醒一点
走下你的城墙，打开大门
外面也许下著雨
但彩虹就在你的头顶上
你最好让别人爱你
你最好让别人爱你
在为时已晚之前
