歌词
Yeah, this one's for the workers who toil night and day
这首歌献给日夜辛劳的工人
By hand and by brain to earn your pay
用体力和脑力劳动挣钱的工人
Who for centuries long past for no more than your bread
是谁在过去的几个世纪里为你提供面包？
Have bled for your countries and counted your dead
是谁为你的国家流血牺牲？
在工厂和作坊里，在船坞里和矿山里
In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines
我们经常被告知要跟紧时代
We've often been told to keep up with the times
我们的技能不被需要了，我们的工作被流水线替代了
For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job
计算尺和秒表把我们的骄傲夺走了
And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed
我们是第一个挨饿的，我们是第一个去死的
我们是第一个为了天上的馅饼冲锋陷阵的
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
也总是最后一个吃到这馅饼的
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
工人在工作，蛀虫却在闲逛
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
当山雨欲来，战争将至
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
是谁的手上被塞上枪支，填进战壕
被期望去为了祖国的土地而战死
And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war
尽管我们从未拥有过祖国的一片土地
Who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore
我们是第一个挨饿的，我们是第一个去死的
And expected to die for the land of our birth
我们是第一个为了天上的馅饼冲锋陷阵的
Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth
也总是最后一个吃到这馅饼的
工人在工作，蛀虫却在闲逛
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
我们是第一个挨饿的，我们是第一个去死的
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
我们是第一个为了天上的馅饼冲锋陷阵的
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
也总是最后一个吃到这馅饼的
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
工人在工作，蛀虫却在闲逛
我们是第一个挨饿的，我们是第一个去死的
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
我们是第一个为了天上的馅饼冲锋陷阵的
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
也总是最后一个吃到这馅饼的
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
我们是第一个挨饿的，我们是第一个去死的
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
我们是第一个为了天上的馅饼冲锋陷阵的
从耕田到扛枪
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
我们一开始就注定了要耕田犁地
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
并且总是被期待着能做到
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
And all of these things the worker has done
From tilling the fields to carrying the gun
We've been yoked to the plough since time first began
And always expected to carry the can
