歌词
As the snow flies
当雪花纷飞
在芝加哥一个阴冷灰暗的清晨
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
一个可怜的小婴儿降生了
A poor little baby child is born
在贫民区里
In the ghetto
他的妈妈啜泣着
因为这是一个她所不需要的负赘
And his mama cries
又多一张嗷嗷待哺的小嘴
在贫民区里
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
人们啊,你们不知道吗?
It's another hungry mouth to feed
有一个孩子需要帮助
In the ghetto
否则某一天他将长成一个心怀愤怒的人
看看你我
People, don't you understand
难道我们的眼睛已经失去光明而看不到苦难?
The child needs a helping hand
难道我们只冷漠的转头不理?
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
向周遭看看
世界不停转动
Take a look at you and me,
一个饥饿的小男孩流着鼻涕
Are we too blind to see,
在寒风凛冽的街道上玩耍
Do we simply turn our heads
在贫民区里
And look the other way
饥饿在他腹内燃烧
于是他开始在暗夜的街道上漫游
Well the world turns
于是他学会了偷窃
于是他学会了斗殴
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
在贫民区里
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
在一个抑郁纠缠的深夜
In the ghetto
这个年轻人终于挣脱了
他买了把枪,偷了辆车
And his hunger burns
试图逃跑可惜没能跑远
他的妈妈抽泣着
So he starts to roam the streets at night
一群人将这个愤怒的年轻人团团围住
And he learns how to steal
他的脸被按在地上,但他手里还紧握着枪
And he learns how to fight
在贫民区里
In the ghetto
当她的年轻孩子死去
在芝加哥一个阴冷灰暗的清晨
Then one night in desperation
又一个小婴儿降生了
The young man breaks away
在贫民区里
He buys a gun, steals a car,
他的妈妈流下了眼泪
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
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
