Nobody came to give him a hand, and he was desperate.
我们在每个赛道传递信息
We passed it every lap.

Jackie was probably the greatest ambassador
这项运动从未有过这么伟大的人

but if he had to drive,
他二话不说就会跳进车里开动引擎

当遮阳板落下
When the visor goes down,
你远离一切悲伤

又一次
again.

你就清楚地知道那里有狮子
you knew there was lions in there,
知道你很有可能再也没法出来
and that chances are you wouldn’t get out
我真的开始哭了

但与此同时 我想
but at the same time, I thought,
你怎么能为一个你一无所知的人哭泣
how can you cry about someone you knew nothing about?
他只是一个平凡的工薪阶级小伙子
