歌词与中文翻译
There is a house in New Orleans
在新奥尔良有一座，
They call the rising sun
日出之宅。
And its been the ruins of many a poor boy
它葬送了很多可怜的小孩。
And god knows I'm one
不幸啊，我就是其中之一：
My mother was a tailor
我的母亲过去是个裁缝，
She sewed my new blue jeans
她为我缝好了我的新牛仔裤；
My father was a gamblin' man
我的父亲过去是个赌徒，
Down in New Orleans
他堕落在了新奥尔良这地方。
Now the only thing a gambler needs
如今，若想成为赌徒，
Is a suitcase and trunk
拎上大小两个提箱无情地走掉就行了；
And the only time that he'd be satisfied
如今，能让我父亲感到满意的，
Is when he's on a drunk
只剩酩酊大醉之时。
Mother, tell your children
母亲啊，告诉你的孩子们，
Not to do what I have done
不要重蹈我的覆辙啊！
Spend your lives in sin and misery
然后在这绝望孤寂的日出之宅里！
In the House of the Rising Sun
伴着苦难和罪恶！虚度余生！
Now, there is a house in New Orleans
如今啊，在新奥尔良，
They call the Rising Sun
日出之宅依然矗立。
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
它毁灭了那么多孩子啊！
And God knows I'm one
呵，我也是其中之一。
