歌词
As the snow flies
芝加哥一个寒冷灰暗的早晨
on a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
下起了大雪
A poor little baby child is born
一个新生的小可怜
in the ghetto
降生在了贫民窟里
And his mama cries
他的母亲却哭了起来
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
因为她实在无法喂养起
It's another hungry mouth to feed
又一只嗷嗷待哺的嘴
in the ghetto
在贫民窟里
So people won't you understand
人们啊 难道你们不明白吗
The child needs a helping hand
这个孩子需要帮助
or he'll grow to be an angry young man someday
不然 他只将成长为又一个愤怒的年轻人
Take a look at you and me
想想我们自己
Are we too blind to see?
是不是太熟视无睹了？
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
我们是否只是将头转开 看向了别处？
Well, the world turns
光阴荏苒
And a poor little boy with a runny nose
这个流着鼻涕的可怜男孩
Plays in the street while the cold wind blows
在街上瞎跑 冷风吹拂
in the ghetto
在贫民窟里
And his hunger burns
他饥肠辘辘
So he starts to roam the streets at night
他开始在夜里的街上徘徊
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
学会了如何偷盗 如何打架
in the ghetto
在贫民窟里
Then one night in desperation
在一个绝望的夜里
The young man breaks away
这个年轻人铤而走险
He buys a gun and he steals a car
买了一把枪 偷了一辆车
And he tries to run
尝试逃跑
But he doesn't get far
但没能成功
And his mama cries
他的母亲哭了
As a crowd gathers 'round
人们围聚在一块儿
an angry young man face down on the street with a gun in his hand
看着这个曾经愤怒的年轻人 面朝下躺在地上 手里握着把枪
in the ghetto
在贫民窟里
And as her young man dies
正当这位母亲的孩子死去
on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
在芝加哥这个寒冷灰暗的早晨
Another little baby child is born
又一个小婴儿降生了
in the ghetto, in the ghetto, in the ghetto
在贫民窟里
