歌词
In the state of Mississippi many years ago
许多年前在密西西比州
A boy of 14 years got a taste of Southern law
一个14岁的男孩尝到了南方法律的滋味
He saw his friend a hanging and his color was his crime
他看见他的朋友被绞死，而他的肤色就是他的罪过
And the blood upon his jacket left a brand upon his mind
他上衣上的血迹在他心上留下了烙印
Too many martyrs and too many dead
太多的烈士，太多的死者
Too many lies too many empty words were said
太多的谎言，太多的空话
Too many times for too many angry men
太多次了因为太多愤怒的人
Oh let it never be again
别再这样了
His name was Medgar Evers and he walked his road alone
他叫梅德加·埃弗斯，独自一人走在路上
Like Emmett Till and thousands more whose names we'll never know
像艾美特·提尔和沉默的大多数
They tried to burn his home and they beat him to the ground
他们试图烧毁他的家，把他打倒在地
But deep inside they both knew what it took to bring him down
但在内心深处，他们都知道怎样才能把他打倒
Too many martyrs and too many dead
太多的烈士，太多的死者
Too many lies too many empty words were said
太多的谎言，太多的空话
Too many times for too many angry men
太多次了因为太多愤怒的人
Oh let it never be again
让这样的事永不再来
The killer waited by his home hidden by the night
凶手在夜幕下隐蔽在他家门口
As Evers stepped out from his car into the rifle sight
当埃弗斯从车里走出来，进入步枪瞄准器
He slowly squeezed the trigger, the bullet left his side
他慢慢扣动扳机，子弹从他身边落下
It struck the heart of every man when Evers fell and died
当埃弗斯倒下死去时，每个人都受到了打击
Too many martyrs and too many dead
太多的烈士，太多的死者
Too many lies too many empty words were said
太多的谎言，太多的空话
Too many times for too many angry men
太多次了因为太多愤怒的人
Oh let it never be again
别再这样了
And they laid him in his grave while the bugle sounded clear
号声响起，他们把他放入坟墓
Laid him in his grave when the victory was near
在胜利临近的时候，把他埋葬了
While we waited for the future for freedom through the land
当我们等待未来，自由会贯穿这片土地
The country gained a killer and the country lost a man
国家却得到一个杀手，失去了一个同胞
Too many martyrs and too many dead
太多的烈士，太多的死者
Too many lies too many empty words were said
太多的谎言，太多的空话
Too many times for too many angry men
太多次了因为太多愤怒的人
Oh let it never be again
让这样的事永不再来
Oh let it never be again
别再这样了
