As I Watch Minneapolis Burn

歌词
Are people still lynched in America – and what happens when they die
美国的人们还在受到警察的私刑吗,当他们死去的时候都发生了什么
When he begged for his mother to save him, was he resisting arrest when he cried
求妈妈救他,哭的时候是在拒捕吗?
And how does the lynch mob roam free, when we already know who they are
现在我们知道他们是谁,那些动用私刑的暴徒是如何逍遥法外
The men who murdered George Floyd, and then drove off in their police cars
谋杀乔治·弗洛伊德,然后开着警车离开的人
To live with such savage injustice, with every new day the Earth turns
忍受着如此野蛮的不公正,随着地球转动的每一天
I'm left with no reason to wonder, as I watch Minneapolis burn
当我离开时看着明尼阿波利斯燃烧时,我没有理由怀疑
Are people still lynched in America – how many just in the past weeks
人们还在美国被动用私刑吗?过去几周有多少人被处以私刑?
From Georgia to Minnesota, as the pandemic spikes and peaks
从佐治亚州到明尼苏达州,随着流行病的激增和高峰
Did you see him pinned down for eight minutes, did you see the knee on his neck
你有没有看到他被压在地上八分钟,你有没有看到膝盖压在他的脖子上
Did you see the police station on fire, did you smell the smoldering wreck
你看到警察局着火了吗,你闻到那冒烟的残骸了吗?
As the National Guard marches in, watch the wheels of history churn
当国民警卫队进军时,看着历史的车轮翻滚
In the land of Philando Castille, as we watch Minneapolis burn
在菲兰多卡斯蒂利亚的土地上,当我们看着明尼阿波利斯燃烧时
Are people still lynched in America – and do the poor still die of disease
人们在美国还遭受警察的暴力执法吗——穷人是否仍然死于疾病
Are the prisons still full of debtors, do bodies still hang from the trees
监狱里还债台高筑吗,尸体还悬在树上吗
Do the workers still live by the highways, still struggle to come up with rent
工人们还住在高速公路旁吗,还在努力想付清租金吗?
Do families still get evicted, when the last of their credit is spent
当他们的最后一笔信用用完时,家庭是否仍然会被驱逐?
Do you see all the people who just had to find out what might there be left to learn
你看到所有那些只需要找出可能需要学习的东西的人吗?
From the flames that rise from the Target, as we watch Minneapolis burn
当我们看着明尼阿波利斯燃烧时,从目标升起的火焰中
Are people still lynched in America – and what happens when they die
人们还在美国被用以私刑吗?他们死后会发生什么?
When he begged for his mother to save him, was he resisting arrest when he cried
求妈妈救他,哭的时候是在拒捕吗?
