Written by：Sam Roberts

He was born in a small town
他生于一座小镇
And he was give every reason to stay
有千万种理由留下
Hallelujah
哈利路亚
Mississippi
密西西比
Postcard living no sign of decay
明信片般的生活未见颓唐
Till Vietnam moved next door
直到越战蔓延至家门
Then hallelujah was off to war
哈利路亚化作从军令
In the dream he couldn't finish the deed
梦中他始终无法扣动扳机
He didn't smoke any w**d so why leave
他未曾沾染恶习 为何要背井离乡
Going where I can't be found
逃往无人知晓的远方
And I won't be coming round
此去便再不归航
His father Tom said you better sign on
父亲汤姆厉声说 你该去参军报效
You'd better take up your gun and fight
扛起步枪奔赴战场
I got nothing against them Viet Cong
我对越共并无仇怨
What did they do so wrong and why am I right
他们何罪之有 我又凭何称义
He's on his way to thunder bay
他正奔向雷霆湾
Crossed the border late at night
深夜越过了边境线
And it was high stakes until he saw the Great Lakes
直到望见五大湖 才卸下心中重担
And he felt the cold wind bite
凛冽寒风刺痛脸庞
Going where I can't be found
逃往无人知晓的远方
And I won't be coming round
此去便再不归航
No I'm an American on the Canadian shield
如今我是加拿大地盾上的美国人
And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields
在你冰封的原野扎下根
It gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in town
寒风刺骨却暖意融融 异乡人终被温柔相拥
And you're understood
在这里你被理解接纳
Missing his home he would wake up in a cold sweat
思乡成疾 他常在冷汗中惊醒
And pick up the phone and hope that Tom found a way to forget
拿起电话 期盼汤姆已学会遗忘
He's been teaching at the high school learning the game
他在高中执教 慢慢融入规则
In thunder bay we're all the same
在桑德湾 我们都一样
He's one of us he has our trust
他是我们一员 赢得众人信任
But there's no going back once the line is crossed
但界线一旦越过 便再无回头路
I'm an American on the Canadian shield
我是美国来的加拿大盾地居民
And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields
在你冰封的原野扎下根
It gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in town
寒风刺骨却暖意融融 异乡人终被温柔相拥
And you're understood
在这里你被理解接纳
You can't ask what you're asking me to do
你怎能要求我做到那些事
And I hope you understand when I refuse
但愿当我拒绝时 你能明白
I'm going north with my point of view
我将带着信念北上
And I'm never gonna think the same as you
永远不会与你思想相同
And I'm where I can't be found
此刻我隐入无人知晓的远方
And I won't be coming round
此去便再不归航
No I'm an American on the Canadian shield
如今我是加拿大地盾上的美国人
And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields
在你冰封的原野扎下根
It gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in town
寒风刺骨却暖意融融 异乡人终被温柔相拥
And you're understood
在这里你被理解接纳
