In the Heat of the Summer - Judy Collins
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
In the heat of the summer
在这炎炎夏日里
When the pavements were burning
当人行道滚烫如火
The soul of a city was ravaged in the night
城市的灵魂在黑夜中支离破碎
After the city sun was setting
夕阳西沉后的都市
Now no one knows how it started
如今无人知晓如何开始
Why the windows were shattered
为何橱窗尽数粉碎
But deep in the dark someone set the spark
但黑暗深处有人点燃星火
And then it no longer mattered
而后一切便不再重要
Down the streets they were rumbling
街头巷尾骚动四起
Birds were already flyin'
群鸟早已惊飞逃离
Oh where oh where are the white silver tongues
那些巧言令色的银舌
Who forgot to listen to the warnings
为何对警告充耳不闻
Drunk with the memory of the ghetto
贫民窟记忆令人迷醉
Drunk with the lure of the looting
劫掠诱惑使人沉沦
With the memory of the uniforms shoving with their sticks
制服警棍推搡的回忆
Asking are you looking for trouble
质问你是否在自找麻烦
No no no moaned the mayor
市长哀叹着不不不
That's not the way of the order
这违背了秩序之道
Stay in your homes please leave us alone
请待在家中 别来打扰我们
We'll be glad to talk in the morning
天亮后我们乐意商谈
For shame for shame wrote the papers
报纸疾呼可耻可耻
Why the hurry to your hunger
何必急于用怒火充饥
Now the rubble is resting on your broken streets
如今废墟横亘在断裂的街道
And you see what your rage has unraveled
你终将看见愤怒酿成的恶果
And when the fury was over
当愤怒的浪潮平息后
Shame was replacing the anger
羞耻感取代了满腔怒火
So wrong so wrong but we've been down so long
如此荒谬 如此荒谬 但我们已压抑太久
And we had to make somebody listen
必须让世界听见我们的呐喊
In the heat of summer
在这炎炎夏日里
