如果大雨一直下，大坝眼看就要崩塌
Arrangement:Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham
如果大雨一直下，大坝眼看就要崩塌
Produced by:Jimmy Page
大坝崩塌之时，我将流离失所
冰冷的棰鼓，苍老的吉他，令人毛骨悚然的声音，还有......
破败的大坝啊，教会我哭泣和叹息
If it keeps on rainin', levee's going to break
主啊，破败的大坝教会我哭泣和叹息
If it keeps on rainin', levee's going to break
迫使山民背井离乡是要付出代价的
And when the levee breaks, have no place to stay
噢......
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan, moan
这不会让你难过吗
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan
当你艰难探寻着回家的路却不知道该走哪一条
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
如果你要南下的话，那儿并没有工作可干
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well-a, ooh-ooh
那你就去芝加哥吧
A-don't it make ya feel bad
哭泣是徒劳的，祈祷也无济于事
When you're tryin' to find your way home?
哭泣是徒劳的，祈祷也无济于事
You don't know which way to go
大坝崩塌之时，妈妈啊，你得去别处了
If you're goin' down south and there's no work to do
昨晚，我整夜坐在大坝上叹息
Then ya go north to Chicago, ah, ah, ah, hey
昨晚，我整夜坐在大坝上叹息
Cryin' won't help ya, prayin' won't do ya no good, no
想着我的孩子和我的幸福家庭
Cryin' won't help ya, prayin' won't do ya no good
走吧，去芝加哥吧
A-when the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, a-woo-hoo
去芝加哥吧
All last night, I sat on the levee and moaned
抱歉，我没法儿带上你
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
现在走吧
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home, oh-hoh
现在走吧
Goin', I'm goin' to Chicago, goin' to Chicago
走下去
Sorry, but I can't take you
走下去
Goin' down, goin' down, now, goin' down, a-goin' down, now
走下去
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down, goin' down,
走下去
