They're talkin' 'bout this famous place, down Greenwich Village way.
他们谈论着格林威治村（也叫西区，纽约艺术圣地）沿路的风景名胜
An' so I got my banjo out, jes' sittin', catchin' dust,

An' painted right across the case: "Greenwich Village or Bust!"

My folks were sad to see me go, but I got no meanin' there.
我们伙伴们为我的离去伤感，但我在这儿毫无意义
So I said, "Goodbye, Kansas, Mo. And hello, Washington Square!"

Each time he hit those bluegrass chords, you sure smelled mountain air,

I said, "Don't waste it on the wind. C'mon to Washington Square."

Till up ahead we saw the arch, a-gleamin' bright in the sun.

Say how's about a freedom song, or the ole' "Rock Island Line"!
