歌词与中文翻译
as the snow flies
伴随着大雪纷飞
on a cold and gray chicago mornin
在芝加哥阴冷灰暗的早晨
a poor little baby child is born
诞生了一位可怜的孩子
in the ghetto
在这贫民窟中
他的妈妈为之哭泣
and his mama cries
又是一个多余的生命
cause if theres one thing that she dont need
又是一张饥饿的小嘴
its another hungry mouth to feed
在这贫民窟中
in the ghetto
人们难道你们不明白吗
孩子们需要他人的关爱
people, dont you understand
否则将来他会成为一名年轻的暴徒
the child needs a helping hand
审视下你和我
or hell grow to be an angry young man some day
我们是否太过冷漠
take a look at you and me,
我们只是麻木的转过身
are we too blind to see,
回避孩子们无助的目光
do we simply turn our heads
世事流转
and look the other way
饥肠辘辘的小男孩流着鼻涕
冷风陪伴他在街道上玩耍
well the world turns
在这贫民窟中
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
饥饿不断加剧
plays in the street as the cold wind blows
游荡在这夜晚的街道
in the ghetto
渐渐学会偷窃
渐渐学会打架
and his hunger burns
在这贫民窟中
so he starts to roam the streets at night
那是一个绝望的夜晚
and he learns how to steal
年轻的男孩试图逃离
and he learns how to fight
去买一把枪，去偷一辆车
in the ghetto
想要逃离但是那很遥远
他的妈妈再度哭泣
then one night in desperation
一群人围着一个年轻人
the young man breaks away
他已经永远地倒在了血泊中
he buys a gun, steals a car,
在这贫民窟中
tries to run, but he dont get far
年轻的男孩离开了人世
and his mama cries
在芝加哥阴冷灰暗的早晨
又诞生了一位可怜的孩子
as a crowd gathers round an angry young man
在这贫民窟中
face down on the street with a gun in his hand
他的妈妈为之哭泣
in the ghetto
and as her young man dies,
on a cold and gray chicago mornin,
another little baby child is born
in the ghetto
and his mama cries
end
