In the Ghetto (2009 Remastered Version) 歌詞
[offset:0]
當這雪花紛飛之際
As the snow flies
在芝加哥的一個冰冷而灰黯的黎明
On a cold and Grey Chicago morn
一個可憐的小嬰孩降生在貧民窟
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
他的母親哭泣著
And his mama cries
因為這是她不需要的
Cause there's one thing that she don't need
另一張飢餓的嘴
Is another little hungry mouth
在貧民窟中餵養
To feed in the ghetto
噢人們難道不明白
Oh people don't you understand
這個孩子需要被施以援手
This child needs a helping hand
有一天他將成長為
He's gonna grow to be
一個憤怒的年青人
An angry young man some day
好吧
Well
看一看你與我
Take a look at you and me
我們盲目到無法目睹?
Are we that blind to see
我們就這樣轉過我們的頭去
Do we simply turn our heads
看著其他的路?
And look the other way
這世界轉身離去
And the world turns
這飢腸轆轆的小男孩兒
And the hungry little boy
鼻涕橫流
With the runny nose
在街頭嬉戲
Plays in the streets
當寒風吹拂著貧民窟
As the cold wind blows in the ghetto
他的飢餓熊熊燃燒
And his hunger burns
然後他開始徹夜流浪在街邊
So he starts to roam the streets at night
他學會瞭如何偷竊
And he learns how to steal
他學會瞭如何在貧民窟鬥毆
And he learns how to fight in the ghetto
然後在一個絕望的夜裡
Then one night in desperation
這個年青人打破了這一切
The young man breaks away
他買了一杆槍並偷走一輛小車
He buys a gun and steals a car
他試圖逃跑但他走不了多遠
He tries to run but he don't get far
他的母親哭泣著
And his mama cries
人群聚集起來圍住這個憤怒的年青人
A crowd gathers round an angry young man
臉栽倒在街上
Face down in the street
他手裡握著一把槍,在這貧民窟裡
With a gun in his hand in the ghetto
噢難道人們不明白
Oh people don't you understand
這個孩子需要被施以援手
This child needs a helping hand
有一天他將成長為
He's gonna grow to be
一個憤怒的年青人
An angry young man some day
看一看你與我
Take a look at you and me
我們盲目到無法目睹?
Are we that blind to see
我們就這樣轉過我們的頭去
Do we simply turn our heads
看著其他的路?
And look the other way
當她年青的孩子死去
And as her young man dies
在芝加哥的一個冰冷而灰黯的黎明
On a cold and Grey Chicago morn
另一個小嬰孩降生於貧民窟
Another little baby child is born in the ghetto
在這貧民窟中
In the ghetto
在這貧民窟中
In the ghetto
在這貧民窟中
In the ghetto
