Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer Lyrics

Cadê os fãs do Limão com Mel?

in the quiet of the railroad station . . . railroaded all his life . . . strangers . . . and the pigs are telling you he's a liar.

This is Botafogo ! ⭐🔥⚫⚪

너무감미스러운노래입니다

I am also a poor boy with a guitar a heart and lowly winter clothes. I hope that one day these songs will get me home.

Anyone know what the name of the instrument is that comes in around 35 seconds or so? And why it’s so perfect yet out of place at the same time.

I love this song. A bit of trauma left me with a streak of aggression I'll always have - and I quite like - and I channel it into sport which includes boxing.

When I miss my parents i just listen to this song

Good to go👍

Everyone here is a boomer ngl

This song reminds of very special
moments of my life .
That was perhaps the best concert I’ve ever seen in my whole life . Both of them playing that and many other of their best songs in Central Park, NYC , 1981

Back in the 90s, I once spent an entire day listening to the oldies radio stations, trying to find this song I had only heard once. All I remembered was the chorus “lie lie lie...” Back before YouTube, I had only a blank cassette tape to record this from, and right before I climbed in bed it finally popped on the radio and I captured it. Listened to it all night. This song is pure magic.

What what

Ultimamente mi è capitato più di una volta di ascoltarla in radio, la buona musica non passa mai di moda :)

🥊🎧🎸

Happy 50th

Such regret feeling cause life has changed since ....still listening till now 2020.

Happy 50th Anniversary to this LEGENDARY album!

nice. so satisfying to sing and play guitar to...

this song is very perfect

Stupid "talkie" songs started coming out shortly after this time, and I remember as a kid, my aunt made a joke while we were in the car listening to the radio, and did the Telly Savalas or William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy version (they all were among those non-singers who did "talkies"). It turned into a constant, amusing, sweet, annoyance. Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie.... RIP Aunt Penny.

This song Will never die,one of my favourites

2020... and yes, it's still a great song 🥰. Greetings from germany from an 32 year old guy ✌✌

❤❤❤

Nice!!!, never grow old, reminds me of mmy youth!!! Oooye, I wish we can turn the clock around😋😋😋

Paul Simon’s a smol boi

These songs will never die

A masterpiece of all time...

I remember hearing this when it first came out in 1960 something. I am 68 years old now and it takes me back to when life pretty much sucked. It gave me inspiration to carry on in life and reminds me of how my life was and how good it is now. You might say it re centers me.
THANK YOU ! Paul and Art it pulled me through some bad times!

Margaret Adler good music never dies

Love this..... Always... 🙋🤗💜

Today like yesterday, what a beautiful Music, what a wonderful voices.

Listen for the bass harmonica
at 2:59

One of the few truly great bands whose album covers are equal to the music.

love how the whole song builds towards the ending

A mes regrettés cours d'anglais en 1979 !

Bone marrow deep good

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down or cut him
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame

"I am leaving, I am leaving", but the fighter still remains


Something about that lyric I find incredible.

My brother liked this song. He took his life 6 years ago...Everytime I hear this, it makes me think of my beautiful brother. Almost like a dream. I miss you, little bro!!!💖

My brother died in Viet Nam. My true condolences to you Mitch. They are never forgotten.

Sorry to hear that brother.

So sad brother! God bless!

I'm so sorry, my brother also took his life 16 years ago.

My dad's cousin's father was Garfunkel's roommate in college before he made music. Later he was Robert Kraft's roomate.

You're a funny man King Solomon the Prince.

좋아요~~

Worldclass!!!

Superb ! Everything!

First time I've paid this song any attention, I just shed a tear! Its B e a u t i f u l.

Now thats what you call a moustache!!!!😂😂🤣

Has there been a better songwriter than Paul Simon? I think not.

This song makes everything alright again.

I know exactly what you mean. Everytime something bad happens to me, I listen to this song and everything feels at least somewhat better. Like the song reaches to you and says "Hey, don't be sad, the whole world is a lie anyways. Just listen to my lyrics and feel connected. Everything is going to be just fine."

@staporinac thanks for bringing me back to this song today.

Beautiful,reminds me of my childhood on the farm i've lived,how the air was different,everything smelled different...magic even.The trips we used to make to the town,playing with the other kids...a different time really,and im not even old at just 22... but life certainly was different back then,and this song kinda captures the feeling,especially when the strings come in at the climax

Semplicemente Meraviglia

This is gorgeous.....magnificently so....

Such an awesome song!!!!

Tried to find this song by typing "lie la lie".
Some weird Indian song came out.

tempus fugit

Los del Bohio , el boxeador... Es la original!!!

Se copiaron de los del bohio!

The best la la la song by far, 230 times 'la' :D

Dedicated to all who face challenges struggles or fights in life on a regular basis such as living with disabilities like bipolar disorder. I frequently feel that I want to just 'leave' or quit but the fighter in me will never go down quietly and I am happy to say is quite often still there after each and every bipolar relapse. Don't forget life is for learning not for losing: If you feel you are 'losing' learn from whatever has made you feel that way and better yourself. That way today's 'loser' becomes tomorrow's Winner. Adapt ... Improvise ... OVERCOME :o)

I swear I will make a movie on these legends. I'm not a huge fan and I haven't heard many of there songs, but I love every millisecond of this song.

I always wanted to know how the dude got the job playing the shotgun in this song.

Dylan, for some unknown reason, did this on Self Portrait. it is.........extremely weird. The only time (fortunately it would seem) that he overdubbed himself. Eh, it does have it's own odd charm to it. It's still weird.

I really appreciate my parents listening to these songs. I grew up with them and lots of other bands and artists. 💛

I don't know why, but this song brings me many memories of my childhood and makes me cry ... cry for the beautiful and wonderful memories.

This song its got so much tragedy in it that It makes me scream from the bottom of the my whole being. I was 19, it was spring, white blossom trees in my backyard! I had it loud and danced! I was in love with something I guess, it was myself I was in Love with. I love this song so so so much! It is the magic of your lives on this planet. We try to make something of ourselves, we sell ourselves short, we give ourselves away and we receive tear to spear. Oh I love this song so much! Play it for me in Heaven! I love it Lord. I love you Lord! Poor will reach Heaven cause they are PURE!

The Boxer
I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm

[Verse 2]
When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared, laying low
Seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

[Hook]
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

[Verse 3]
Asking only workman's wages, I come lookin' for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there, lalalalalalala

[Verse 4]
Now the years are rolling by me
They are rockin' evenly
I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be; that's not unusual
Nor is it strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are more or less the same


[Hook]
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

[Verse 5]
And I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
Goin' home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
Leadin' me
Goin' home

[Verse 6]
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down or cut him
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving", but the fighter still remains

[Hook]
Lie lie lie................

Paul Simon

I 💘 listening to this music because it reminds me of my favorite TV show The Wonder Years. 👍😁👍😁👍😁

Such a great great song

From a time when music was more than just noise

This album awoke poetry in me as a child.

I was just recalling how when I was little, maybe 6 or 7, tears would sometimes come to my eyes at the line “I am leaving, I am leaving...” The music and lyrics were so moving even back then, before I could really comprehend them.

Released in 1969.

👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Haunting at 4:44 you can hear "I love you"

LOS AMO CON LOCURAAAAA!!!!

2020 anyone

First 2020

May music help others, when they can’t express themselves.
Some feelings are just hard to describe.

pocket full of mumbles.......

This is what Leonard Nimoy was listening to when he passed away...

My late sister said in 1970 that this would be a classic she was so right!

Music is another way of traveling back in time. Just close your eyes.

yes iam good to hear again cumbernauld glasgow

yes iam good to hear

I have loved this song since it was first released many years ago!!!

good song

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of a railway station
Running scared
Laying low
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times
When I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters
Aren't bleeding me
Leading me
Going home

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the remainders
Of every glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
“I am leaving, I am leaving”
But the fighter still remains

Thanks!

I'm posting this song (to be a "wise guy"), on my Facebook page, for Boxing Day ( Dec. 26), even though it has NOTHING to do with the sport of boxing.

Still a poor boy 2020 is coming happy new year!

I wish to have a music room and play all guitar classics till my finger hurts

Where'd it all go
