录制于Sgt。Pepper时期,歌曲于1967年2月发行作为双A面单曲,另一首歌曲是StrawberryFieldsForever,这两首歌最终都被收录到MagicalMysteryTourLP中。这是唱片公司因为乐队有较长时间没有发片才决定发行的。
在2004年,RollingStone将pennylane评为史上最伟大五百首英文歌曲#449。
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
便士街道上有个理发师在店里贴满了名人照
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know.
能认识当中的一位就值得他自豪
And all the people that come and go
来去匆匆的人们总会停下步调
stop and say hello.
对着照片说一声你好
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar.
一个银行家把摩托停在街角
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
引来背后的孩子们一阵嘲笑
And the banker never wears a mack
可雨具,银行家从来不需要
In the pouring rain, very strange
即便风狂雨啸,莫名其妙
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
便士街道总在我眼前浮现,在我耳畔萦绕
There beneath the blue suburban skies.
背景是一片湛蓝天空下的市郊
I sit, and meanwhile back.
我一坐下,它就在我的脑海中激起记忆的浪涛
In penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass.
便士街道上住着个消防员把一只沙漏当成骄傲
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
他的口袋里总有一张女王的玉照
He likes to keep his fire engine clean.
他喜欢把他的点火引擎擦得光亮闪耀
It's a clean machine.
那玩意儿干净得不得了
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
便士街道总在我眼前浮现,在我耳畔萦绕
A four of fish and finger pies
路边小摊的炸鱼和炸薯条
In summer, meanwhile back
夏天一到,它就在我的脑海中激起记忆的浪涛
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
在环岛中隐秘的一角
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray.
一个漂亮的护士警惕地用罂粟换取钞票
And tho' she feels as if she's in a play
尽管她觉得自己似乎是在玩闹
She is anyway.
却已经不可救药
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
便士街道上的那个理发师在对着另一位顾客摆弄刮胡刀
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
那个银行家等得十分无聊
And then the fireman rushes in
之后那个消防员的出现惊起一阵喧嚣
From the pouring rain, very strange.
穿过风狂雨啸,莫名其妙
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
便士街道总在我眼前浮现,在我耳畔萦绕
There beneath the blue suburban skies
背景是一片湛蓝天空下的市郊
I sit, and meanwhile back.

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
便士街道总在我眼前浮现,在我耳畔萦绕
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
