Baby I know
宝贝 我知道
That we've got trouble in the fields
我们的田地出现了一些问题
When the bankers swarm like locust
银行家们像蝗虫一样蜂拥而来
Out there turning away our yield
夺走了我们的田地
The trains roll by our silos
疾驶的火车上有我们的粮仓
Silver in the rain
在雨中闪闪发亮
They leave our pockets full of nothing
他们把我们的东西都拿走了
But our dreams and the golden grain
但是带不走我们的梦想 和金黄的稻谷
Have you seen the folks in line
你看到那些排着队的人了吗
There downtown at the station
他们在城里的火车站
They're all buying their ticket
他们把车票买光了
Out and their talking the great depression
他们都在讨论着经济大萧条
Our parents had their hard times
我们的父母也经历过这样艰难的时期
Fifty years ago
在五十年前
When they stood out in these empty fields
那时他们站在荒芜的田地里
In dust as deep as snow
泥土像雪一样厚
And all this trouble in our fields
我们田地里出现的所有问题
If this rain can fall
只要能降一场甘霖
These wounds can heal
就都能解决
They'll never take our native soil
自然赐予我们的土地 别人永远也拿不走
But if we sell that new John Deere
但如果我们把它卖给了约翰·迪尔
And we'll work these crops
那我们再想收获粮食
With sweat and tears
就会无比艰难了
You'll be the mule

I'll be the plow

Come harvest time
到了收获的季节
We'll work it out

There's still a lotta love
无穷的爱生长在
Here in these troubled fields
在这片贫瘠的土地里
There's a book up on the shelf
书架上有一本书
About those dust bowl days
讲述了这些艰辛的日子
And there's a little bit of you
这其中有你
And a little bit of me
也有我
In the photos on every page

Our children live in the city
我们的孩子生活在城市里
And they rest upon our shoulders

They never want the rain to fall
他们从来不期待一场甘霖
Or the weather to get colder
也不在乎天气是否变冷
And all this trouble in our fields
我们田地里出现的所有问题
If this rain can fall
只要能降一场甘霖
These wounds can heal

They'll never take our native soil

But if we sell that new John Deere
