歌词
He was choking back the tears
他哽咽了眼泪
As he tried to tell his wife
他告诉了妻子
That the job he'd had for years
他已努力工作
He'd worked hard all his life
他已一生辛劳
That everything went south
他却一无所有
And he couldn't meet the bills
他却负债累累
And he had to sell the house
只得抛家舍业
That his daddy built
只得背井离乡
And he'd ask how such a thing could be happening
他问这一切来由
But he was sure there was nobody listening
他知这无人关心
In the Gulf of Mexico
在墨西哥湾区
Near the town of New Orleans
靠近新奥尔良
Where all the tourists go
游客在此集聚
In this land of hopes and dreams
充盈希望梦想
Then there came a killer storm
致命风暴来袭
A devastating flood
毁灭洪水肆虐
And the people, they were warned
人民遭受警告
That it would turn their streets to mud
街道团成泥泞
Sure enough, that storm took everything
风暴带走了一切
And it was like there was nobody listening
却仿若无人关心
In these days of change and mass communication
传媒日新月异
Seems like no one's plugged into the sounds of desperation
悲咽无人倾听
And they say the future's just an extension of the past
未来愈加冰冷
And history has knack of comin' back
历史不断倒退
Now the writer takes his pen
作家拿起了笔
And he tries to find the words
冥思寻找词汇
Though time and time again
数次苦思遣词
They often go unheard
却被大众忽视
And the singer sings his song
歌手唱起了歌
And he tries to impart
试图感化大众
All the troubles goin' on
悲伤不断持续
Weighin' heavy on his heart
沉积他的心胸
But what good is the song that he has to sing
歌曲还有何用
When nobody's listening?
若已无人关心
But I know why he has to try to sing
我却知他必会继续吟唱
'Cause he believes that somebody's listening
坚信将有人倾听
