A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
一个男孩降生在密西西比的艰难岁月
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
四面斑驳的墙围困着他的童年
His parents give him love and affection
父母倾注全部的爱与温暖
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
让他在正轨上步履蹒跚却勇敢
Living just enough just enough for the city e ha
勉强维生 只为在这城市喘息 eh ha
His father works some days for fourteen hours
父亲日日劳作十四小时不停歇
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
挣得的铜板却少得可怜
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
母亲跪擦地板换几枚硬币
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
你最好相信她几乎分文难挣
Living just enough just enough for the city yeah
勉强糊口 仅够在这城市生存
His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
他妹妹是黑人 却生得美丽动人
Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy
短裙虽简 但双腿结实有力
To walk to school she's got to get up early
为赶上学 她必须早早起床
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
衣衫虽旧 却永远干净整洁
Living just enough just enough for the city um hum
勉强糊口 仅够在这城市生存
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
她的兄长睿智过人 见识远超常人
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
他长久忍耐 但耐心终将耗尽
To find a job is like a haystack needle
求职如同大海捞针般艰难
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
只因他的肤色 在这里不受欢迎
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强维持着 城市里的生存
