Lyrics/Melody: Cat Power
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me, yeah, yeah
And then came the rush of the flood, the stars at night, turned deep to dust
Melt me down, into big black armour
Leave no trace, of grace, just in your honor
Lower me down, to culprit south
Make 'em wash, a space in town
for the lead, of the dregs, of my bed I've been sleeping
Lower me down, pin me in, secure the grounds
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest, two fists, of solid rock
With brains that could explain any feelings
Lower me down, pin me in, secure the grounds
For the lead, of the dregs, of my bed I've been sleeping
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stall me, yeah yeah
And then came the rush of the flood, the stars at night turned deep to dust
Cat Power performing "The Greatest" Live on Later With Jools Holland in 2006
＜本人翻譯之中文歌詞＞
最好的那個人
曾經 我想成為那個最好的人
無論風雨 都無法阻礙我
然而潮水突然侵襲 夜空中的星辰 將深沉化為塵埃
溶化我吧 化為一身黑色盔甲
別留給我 恩慈的痕跡 只需存於你的榮耀中就好
擺低姿態 到充滿罪惡的南方
就讓他們 在鎮上洗淨這片地
洗去那些 礙我入眠的 紛紛擾擾
擺低姿態 緊壓住我 不飛離地表
待會還有一場遊行
曾經 我想成為那個最好的人 宛若硬石 的雙拳
伴隨足以 解釋任何情感的思緒
擺低姿態 緊壓住我 不飛離地表
為了那些 礙我入眠的 紛紛擾擾
待會還有一場遊行
曾經 我想成為那個最好的人
無論風雨 都無法阻礙我
然而潮水突然侵襲 夜空中的星辰 將深沉化為塵埃

一直很喜歡 Cat Power，還有這首歌。
光是旋律，清晨聽來輕鬆，深夜聽來沉靜。不過，若仔細聽起歌詞，加上不斷反覆地聆聽，一股想濕了眼的衝動就會突然浮上心頭。
Once, I wanted to be the greatest...
No wind or waterfall could stall me...
Once, I wanted to be the greatest, two fists of solid rock...
With brains that could explain any feelings..
Melt me down, into big black armour.
讓我化成黑色的盔甲吧，我要堅強。
