American Dream - Will Hoge

American Dream - Will Hoge
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
This used to be a one horse town
这里曾是座宁静小镇
But the pony went away
如今连马儿都已离去
Ended up in China cause
漂洋过海去了中国
They make it cheaper there they say
他们说那里成本更低
The store fronts all are empty
商店橱窗空空荡荡
And the factory is dead
工厂早已没了生气
And these streets I used to walk on
曾经漫步的街道
Well now they're just my bed
如今成了我的床铺
And I'm going down down down
我正不断坠落 坠落 坠落
I'm going down
我正不断沉沦
Did a couple years of college
勉强读完两年大学
But I just couldn't make it stick
却始终无法立足
Had to come back here and help mamma
只能回到家乡照顾母亲
Because daddy left when she got sick
父亲在她病重时离去
She worked very day for nothing
她终日操劳却徒劳无功
Until she turned 62
直到六十二岁那年
And the same day that I buried her
就在我安葬她的同一天
The bank foreclosed on her house too
银行收走了我们的家
That's my American dream
这就是我的美国梦
And I've been all that I can be
我已竭尽全力
With nothing left to lose at all
如今一无所有
I guess I'm free
或许我终获自由
That's my American dream dream dream
这就是我的美国梦 梦 梦
That's my American dream
这就是我的美国梦
Now I stand here at this off ramp
此刻我站在高速公路出口
And smile as best I can
尽力挤出一丝微笑
With a sign that says Jesus loves you
举着"耶稣爱你"的纸牌
But it's hard to think he gives a damn
却难以相信他会在乎我的苦难
When they roll down their windows
当人们摇下车窗
And put some spare change in my hand
将零钱塞进我手心
But I'd give it all right back
我宁愿放弃所有施舍
To just be looked at like a man
只求能被当作人看待
And I'm going down down down
我正不断坠落 坠落 坠落
I'm going down
我正不断沉沦
When it's cold I try the mission
天寒时我试着去救济站
On nights like this I sleep outside
这样的夜晚我只能露宿街头
Under a bridge beside the interstate
蜷缩在州际公路旁的桥洞下
Where I can hear those trucks roll by
听着卡车轰鸣驶过
And imagine I'm inside one
幻想着自己就在车里
Just rolling down the road
沿着公路驶向远方
But I wake up just to realise
但醒来才惊觉
That this place is now my home
此地已成我的归宿
That's my American dream
这就是我的美国梦
And I've been all that I can be
我已竭尽全力
With nothing left to lose at all
如今一无所有
I guess I'm free
或许我终获自由
That's my American dream
这就是我的美国梦
It disappeared in front of me
它在我眼前消散无踪
With nothing left to lose at all
如今一无所有
I guess I'm free
或许我终获自由
That's my American dream dream dream
这就是我的美国梦 梦 梦
It's my American dream
这就是我的美国梦
