歌词
On a winter night in Webb County, Texas
在德克萨斯州的一个冬夜
On the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande
在浩瀚的里奥格兰德的北岸
I was watchin' the jungle fires a-burnin'
我看见丛林大火正在燃烧
Across the border of a not-so-distant land
跨越近在眼前的大陆边界
And the echoes of the church bells that were swingin'
被撞击的教堂大钟的回声
Could be heard from Guadalupe Market Square
在瓜达卢佩广场也能听见
There was a girl down there on the south side of the river
在河南边有一个女孩
She had feathers tied into her long black hair
她的黑色长发上别着羽毛
如果我是白冠麻雀
And if I was I was white-crowned sparrow
我会在南方的蓝天翱翔
Well, I would float upon the southern skies of blue
但我却被困在拉雷多的闹市里
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
祈愿着我能回到你身边
Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
为Jamboozie穿上我最爱的夹克
把我的眼睛涂上色彩，戴上我的珠子项链
I put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie
有支乐队正在演奏“荣归天父”
I painted up my eyes and wore my beads
人们围绕着街道载歌载舞
There was a band playin' "To God Be the Glory"
人行道上燃烧的木桶（增添了欢快的气氛）
There were people dancin' all around the street
算命先生在看着人们的手相
There were barrels on the sidewalk that were burnin'
我发誓，我听见了教堂钟声的响声
And a fortune-teller readin' people's hands
跨越近在眼前的大陆边界
And I swear, I heard those church bells ringin'
歌唱着如果我是白冠麻雀
'Cross the border of a not-so-distant land
我会在南方的蓝天翱翔
但我却被困在拉雷多的闹市里
Singing, if I was white-crowned sparrow
祈愿着我能回到你身边
Well, I would float upon the southern skies of blue
如果我是白冠麻雀
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
我会在南方的蓝天翱翔
Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
但我却被困在拉雷多的闹市里
And if I was I was white-crowned sparrow
祈愿着我能回到你身边
Well, I would float upon the southern skies of blue
被困在拉雷多的闹市里
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
祈愿着能回到你身边
Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
能回到你身边
回到你身边
I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
你身边
Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
Wish I was rollin' back, back to you
Wish I was rollin' back to you
Wish I was rollin' back to you
