以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
四面斑驳的墙 围困着贫瘠的梦想
His parents give him love and affection
父母倾注所有温情 将他紧紧拥抱
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
支撑他朝着光明 跌撞前行不跌倒
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口的生活 是这座城的注脚
His father works some days for fourteen hours
父亲时常劳作 十四小时不停歇
And you can bet he hardly makes a dollar
你可曾见 那微薄薪水如何能兑现
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
母亲跪地擦洗 在无数陌生屋檐
You'd best believe she hardly makes a penny
你要知道她几乎挣不到一分钱
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口的生活 是这座城的注脚
His sister's black but she is sure enough pretty
他姐姐皮肤黝黑却足够美丽
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
短裙虽旧 双腿却结实有力
To walk to school she's got to get up early
为了上学她必须早早起床
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
衣服虽旧但永远干净整洁
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口的生活 是这座城的注脚
Her brother's smart he got more sense than many
她弟弟聪明 比许多人都懂事
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
他的耐心虽长 但终将耗尽
To find a job is like a haystack needle
求职如同大海捞针般艰难
But where he lives they don't use colored people
可在他生活的地方 有色人种不被接纳
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口的生活 是这座城的注脚
His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty
发丝凌乱 双脚布满老茧
He spends his time walking the streets of New York City
终日徘徊在纽约街头
He's almost dead from breathing air pollution
污浊空气让他奄奄一息
He tried to vote but for him there's no solution
试图投票却找不到出路
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口的生活 是这座城的注脚
I hope you hear this voice and song of my sorrow
愿你能听见我悲痛的歌声
And it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
愿它能激励你创造更美好的明天
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
这地方残酷 无处更冰冷
If we don't change the world will soon be over
若不改变 世界将走向终结
Living just enough stoping just enough for the city
在这城市里 勉强停下脚步
Just enough just enough for the city
仅仅 仅仅为了这座城市
Just enough just enough for the city
仅仅 仅仅为了这座城市
Just enough just enough for the city
仅仅 仅仅为了这座城市
