Black Like Me

Little kid in a small town
當我還是小城鎮的小孩子
I did my best just to fit in
我用盡全力融入
Broke my heart on the playground
在遊樂場上，他們說我格格不入
When they said I was different
我被傷透了心
Oh now, now I'm all grown up and nothing has changed
而現在，我長大成人，但什麼都沒有變
Yeah, it's still the same
沒錯，一成不變
It's a hard life on easy street
簡簡單單的街道上，上演著困難的生活
Just white painted picket fences far as you can see
目力所及只有綿延不斷的白色柵欄
If you think we live in the land of the free
你如果覺得我們生活在自由之地
You should try to be black like me
就應該試試當一個黑人，像我一樣
My daddy worked day and night
我的父親早出晚歸
For an old house and a used car
只為一間舊房子和一輛二手車
Just to live that good life
不過是想過上和別人一樣的好生活
It shouldn't be twice as hard
他為何要經歷雙倍的艱難？
Oh now, now I'm all grown up and nothing has changed
而現在，我長大成人，但什麼都沒有變
Yeah, it's still the same
沒錯，一成不變
It's a hard life on easy street
簡簡單單的街道上，上演著困難的生活
Just white painted picket fences far as you can see
目力所及只有綿延不斷的白色柵欄
If you think we live in the land of the free
你如果覺得我們生活在自由之地
You should try to be, oh black like me
就應該試試當一個黑人，像我一樣
Oh I know I'm not the only one, oh yeah
我明白我不是唯一
Who feels like I, I don't belong
沒有歸屬感的人
It's a hard life on easy street
簡簡單單的街道上，上演著困難的生活
Just white painted picket fences far as you can see
目力所及只有綿延不斷的白色柵欄
And if you think we live in the land of the free
你如果覺得我們生活在自由之地
Then you should try to be, oh black like me
就應該試試當一個黑人，像我一樣
Oh, and someday we'll all be free
哦，總有一天，我們都會得到自由
And I'm proud to be, oh black like me
而我會為我的深色皮膚驕傲
And I'm proud to be black like me
我會驕傲，我是一個黑人
Proud to be black like me
驕傲，我是一個黑人
Black like me
驕傲，我是一個黑人
