In the Ghetto (2009 Remastered Version) 歌词
[offset:0]
当这雪花纷飞之际
As the snow flies
在芝加哥的一个冰冷而灰黯的黎明
On a cold and Grey Chicago morn
一个可怜的小婴孩降生在贫民窟
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
他的母亲哭泣着
And his mama cries
因为这是她不需要的
Cause there's one thing that she don't need
另一张饥饿的嘴
Is another little hungry mouth
在贫民窟中喂养
To feed in the ghetto
噢 人们难道不明白
Oh people don't you understand
这个孩子需要被施以援手
This child needs a helping hand
有一天他将成长为
He's gonna grow to be
一个愤怒的年青人
An angry young man some day
好吧
Well
看一看你与我
Take a look at you and me
我们盲目到无法目睹?
Are we that blind to see
我们就这样转过我们的头去
Do we simply turn our heads
看着其他的路?
And look the other way
这世界转身离去
And the world turns
这饥肠辘辘的小男孩儿
And the hungry little boy
鼻涕横流
With the runny nose
在街头嬉戏
Plays in the streets
当寒风吹拂着贫民窟
As the cold wind blows in the ghetto
他的饥饿熊熊燃烧
And his hunger burns
然后他开始彻夜流浪在街边
So he starts to roam the streets at night
他学会了如何偷窃
And he learns how to steal
他学会了如何在贫民窟斗殴
And he learns how to fight in the ghetto
然后在一个绝望的夜里
Then one night in desperation
这个年青人打破了这一切
The young man breaks away
他买了一杆枪并偷走一辆小车
He buys a gun and steals a car
他试图逃跑但他走不了多远
He tries to run but he don't get far
他的母亲哭泣着
And his mama cries
人群聚集起来围住这个愤怒的年青人
A crowd gathers round an angry young man
脸栽倒在街上
Face down in the street
他手里握着一把枪,在这贫民窟里
With a gun in his hand in the ghetto
噢 难道人们不明白
Oh people don't you understand
这个孩子需要被施以援手
This child needs a helping hand
有一天他将成长为
He's gonna grow to be
一个愤怒的年青人
An angry young man some day
看一看你与我
Take a look at you and me
我们盲目到无法目睹?
Are we that blind to see
我们就这样转过我们的头去
Do we simply turn our heads
看着其他的路?
And look the other way
当她年青的孩子死去
And as her young man dies
在芝加哥的一个冰冷而灰黯的黎明
On a cold and Grey Chicago morn
另一个小婴孩降生于贫民窟
Another little baby child is born in the ghetto
在这贫民窟中
In the ghetto
在这贫民窟中
In the ghetto
在这贫民窟中
In the ghetto
