That young boy without a name

Anywhere I'd know his face

In this city the kid's my favorite

I've seen him I've seen a
我曾亲眼目睹
I see him every day
日复一日看着他
Seen him run outside
看他仓皇逃到屋外
Looking for a place to hide
寻找藏身的角落
From his father
躲避父亲的暴怒
The kid half naked
衣衫褴褛的孩子
And said to myself
我不禁扪心自问
Oh what's the matter here
这究竟算什么
I'm tired of the excuses
我已厌倦那些借口
Everybody uses
人人都找的理由
He's your kid
他是你的骨肉
But who gave you the right
但谁赋予你权力
To do this
如此伤害他
We live on morgan street
我们同住摩根街
Just ten feet between
相隔不过十步远
And his mother I never see her
却从未见过他母亲出现
But her screams and cussing
她的尖叫与咒骂声
Well I hear them every day
我每天都能听见
Threats like
那些威胁的话语
If you don't mind
如果你不听话
I will beat on your behind
我就打到你屁股开花
Slap you slap you silly
把你打到晕头转向
Made me say
让我不禁质问
Oh what's the matter here
这究竟算什么
I'm tired of the excuses
我已厌倦那些借口
Everybody uses
人人都找的理由
He's your kid
他是你的骨肉
Just do as you see fit
随你处置便罢
But get this through
但你要明白
That I don't approve
我绝不认同
Of what you did
你的所作所为
To your own flesh and blood
对待自己的亲生骨肉
Oh I have heard the excuses
噢 我已听尽那些借口
Everybody uses
人人都找的理由
He's your kid
他是你的骨肉
Just do as you see fit
随你处置便罢
But get this through
但你要明白
That I don't approve
我绝不认同
Of what you did
你的所作所为
To your own flesh and blood
对待自己的亲生骨肉
Well if you don't sit
要是你敢不乖乖坐直
In your chair straight
在那张椅子上
I'll take this belt
我就解下这根皮带
From around my waist
从腰间抽出来
And don't you think
你最好相信
That I won't use it
我绝对说到做到
Answer me and take your time
回答我 给你时间考虑
What could be the awful crime
究竟犯了什么弥天大罪
He could do at so young an age
让年幼的他承受这般折磨
If I'm the only witness to your madness
若我是你暴行的唯一见证者
Offer me some words to balance
请给我理由来平衡
Out what I see and what I hear
所见所闻带来的冲击
All these cold and rude
所有这些冷酷残忍
Things that you do
你所施加的暴行
I suppose you do
我猜你早已习以为常
Because he belongs to you
只因他是你的骨肉
And instead of love
却从未感受过温暖
And the feel of warmth
也未曾体会过爱意
You've given him these cuts
你只留给他满身伤痕
And sores that don't heal with time or his age
那些永不愈合的伤口 不会随时间消逝
And I want to say hi
我想上前问候
Want to say
想要开口询问
What's the matter here
这究竟是怎么回事
But I don't dare say
但我却不敢开口
What's the matter here
这究竟是怎么回事
But I don't dare say
但我却不敢开口
