随着雪的飞舞
As the snow flies
在寒冷而灰暗的芝加哥早晨
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
一个可怜的小婴儿出生了
A poor little baby child is born
在贫民区
In the ghetto
(在贫民区)
(In the ghetto)
他妈妈哭了
And his mama cries
因为如果有一件事她不需要
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
又是一张饿了的嘴喂
It is another hungry mouth to feed
在贫民区
In the ghetto
(在贫民区)
(In the ghetto)
人,你不明白
People, don't you understand
孩子需要帮助
The child needs a helping hand
或者有一天他会成长为一个愤怒的年轻人
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
看看你和我
Take a look at you and me
我们是不是太瞎了看不见?
Are we too blind to see?
我们是否只是转过头
Do we simply turn our heads
换个角度看
And look the other way
嗯,世界变了
Well, the world turns
还有一个流鼻涕的饥饿小男孩
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
冷风吹来,在街上玩耍
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
在贫民区
In the ghetto
(在贫民区)
(In the ghetto)
他的饥饿在燃烧
And his hunger burns
所以他开始在晚上在街上闲逛
So he starts to roam the streets at night
他学会了如何偷窃
And he learns how to steal
他学会了如何战斗
And he learns how to fight
在贫民区
In the ghetto
(在贫民区)
(In the ghetto)
然后在绝望中度过了一个晚上
Then one night in desperation
年轻人挣脱了
The young man breaks away
他买枪偷车
He buys a gun, steals a car
试图逃跑,但他跑不远
Tries to run, but he don't get far
他妈妈哭了
And his mama cries
当一群人聚集在一个愤怒的年轻人周围
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
手里拿着枪,脸朝下走在街上
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
在贫民区
In the ghetto
(在贫民区)
(In the ghetto)
当她的年轻人去世时
And as her young man dies
(在贫民区)
(In the ghetto)
在寒冷而灰暗的芝加哥早晨
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
又一个小宝贝诞生了
Another little baby child is born
在贫民区
In the ghetto
(在贫民区)
(In the ghetto)
他妈妈哭了
And his mama cries
(在贫民区)
(In the ghetto)
(在贫民区)
(In the ghetto)
(啊)
(Ah)
