Take a trip with me in nineteen thirty
与我一同回到1930年时光
To Calumet Michigan in the copper country
前往密歇根卡卢梅特的铜矿之乡
I'll take you to a place called Italian Hall
带你去意大利大厅那个地方
And the miners are having their big Christmas ball
矿工们正举办盛大的圣诞舞场
I'll take you in a door and up a high stairs
推开门领你登上高高的楼梯
Singing and dancing is heard everywhere
歌声与舞步在四处欢腾洋溢
I'll let you shake hands with the people you see
让你与所见的人们握手致意
And watch the kids dance around the big Christmas tree
看孩童们绕着圣诞树翩翩嬉戏
There's talking and laughing and songs in the air
欢声笑语与歌声在空中回荡
And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere
圣诞的喜悦弥漫每个角落
Before you know it you're friends with us all
不知不觉间 我们已亲如一家
And you're dancing around and around in the hall
在大厅里旋转起舞不停歇
You ask about work and you ask about the pay
若问起工作 若问起薪资
They'll tell you they make less than a dollar a day
他们会说日薪不足一美元
Working their copper claims risking their lives
在铜矿里卖命 赌上性命
So it's fun to spend Christmas with children and wives
此刻能与妻儿共度圣诞就是幸福
A little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights
小女孩坐在圣诞树彩灯旁
To play the piano so you gotta keep quiet
弹奏钢琴 请保持安静聆听
To hear all this fun you would not realize
欢乐氛围中无人察觉
That the copper boss thug men are milling outside
铜矿打手们正在门外聚集
The copper boss thugs stuck their heads in the door
暴徒们突然探头闯入
One of them yelled and he screamed there's a fire
有人厉声谎报起火了
A lady she hollered there's no such a thing
女士高喊根本没有火情
Keep on with your party there's no such a thing
继续舞会 那都是骗局
A few people rushed and there's only a few
慌乱中只有零星几人冲出重围
It's just the thugs and the scabs fooling you
不过是暴徒与工贼设下的骗局
A man grabbed his daughter and he carried her down
父亲抱起女儿想带她逃离险境
But the thugs held the door and he could not get out
暴徒却堵死生路 将他们困在绝地
And then others followed about a hundred or more
随后又有百余人涌向狭窄通道
Most everybody remained on the floor
多数人仍被困在舞厅无处可逃
The gun thugs they laughed at their murderous joke
持枪恶徒狞笑着欣赏这场屠杀
And the children were smothered on the stairs by the door
孩童们最终在门阶窒息而亡
Such a terrible sight I never did see
如此惨状我从未目睹
We carried our children back up to their tree
我们将孩子们抱回圣诞树旁
The scabs outside still laughed at their spree
门外工贼仍在嘲笑这场悲剧
And the children that died there was seventy-three
七十三名孩童在此丧生
The piano played a slow funeral tune
钢琴奏响哀伤的挽歌
And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon
寒月照亮整个小镇
The parents they cried and the men they moaned
父母恸哭 男人们悲叹
See what your greed for money has done
看看你们的贪婪酿成了什么
