Here's where the dreams I had
Di sinilah impian saya
Were crowded on a stoop
Apakah ramai di atas tangga?
Were pecked and pushed and hustled
Apakah dipukul dan didorong dan digerakkan
Just like chickens in a coop
Sama seperti ayam di kandang
Life wasn't always neat
Hidup tidak selalu rapi
In my simple humble neighborhood
Di lingkungan sederhana sederhana saya
On my simple humble street
Di jalan sederhana sederhana saya

Here's where I learned the rules
Di sinilah saya mempelajari peraturan
Of Rosie's way
Dari jalan Rosie
Of how to play
Tentang cara bermain
A magic game
Sebuah permainan sulap
That changed the same
Itu berubah sama
Old sheepy bleat
Dulu kedinginan
In my simple humble neighborhood
Di lingkungan sederhana sederhana saya
On my simple humble street
Di jalan sederhana sederhana saya

Here's where I made up folks
Di sinilah aku membuat orang
Who came to visit me
Yang datang mengunjungiku
Not just ordinary folks
Bukan hanya orang biasa
Coming unexpectedly
Datang tak terduga

TALENT SCOUTS! PRODUCERS! DIRECTORS!
TALENT SCOUTS! PRODUSEN! DIREKSI!
GLAMOUR BOYS!
GLAMOR BOYS!

In other words
Dengan kata lain
THE HOY-POLOYS!
THE HOY-POLOYS!
THE GRAND ELITE!
ELITE GRAND!

To make them green with envy
Membuat mereka hijau karena iri hati
In my simple humble neighborhood
Di lingkungan sederhana sederhana saya
On my simple humble street
Di jalan sederhana sederhana saya

Here's where it all began
Di sinilah semuanya dimulai
Here's where I heard that tune
Di sinilah aku mendengar lagu itu
Here's where I sang of sailing
Di sinilah aku bernyanyi tentang berlayar
In a carnival balloon
Dalam balon karnaval
Life was so darn sweet
Hidup terasa sangat manis
In my simple humble neighborhood
Di lingkungan sederhana sederhana saya
On my simple humble street
Di jalan sederhana sederhana saya
