Oh you came so far
oh~~~你已走了如此之远
oh you came so far
oh~~~你竟走到了这里
All alone, just sixteen

All alone, mama said be strong
孤寂中,想起母亲曾说要坚强
You were the one, you were the one
你就是那个
Who bade farewell to mother Russia

Tolstoy broke your heart and set you free

You were the one who carried the torch
你是为了你的家庭(应为德语Mischpoke)而拿起火炬的人
For your own Mishpoke
You brought your courage across the sea

Dark was the night
黑暗属于长夜
Cossacks shook you awake

So you took flight mama goodnight, goodnight

Light, shine on the river black

Travel at dawn never to come back
日出就要出发却再也不能回家
You left it all you left it all
你留下了所有,你抛弃了一切
And found the shores of Boston

Cobblestones and cousins brought you in

From brick to bone, you built a home
从一砖一瓦和血汗之中,你建起了一个家
From the ghosts within your hands
它也来自于你手里的冤魂
From Latvia to land we are your Kin

You left it all you left it all
你留下了所有,你抛弃了一切
And found the shores of Boston
终于到达了波士顿的海岸
Cobblestones and cousins brought you in
