My grandfather was a sailor
我的祖父曾是水手
Blewing off the water
踏浪而行
My father was a farmer
我的父亲是个农夫
And I his only daughter
而我是他唯一的女儿
Took up with a no good millworking man from Massachusetts
后来嫁给了马萨诸塞州一个不成器的工厂工人
Who dies from too much whiskey
他因酗酒过度离世
And leaves me these three faces to feed
留给我三张要吃饭的小嘴
Now millwork ain't easy
工厂的活计可不容易
Mill work ain't hard
工厂劳作不算苦
Millwork it ain't nothing but an awful boring job
流水线只是份枯燥乏味的工作
Waiting for a day dream
等待白日梦降临
To take me through the morning
带我熬过整个早晨
And put me in my coffee break
直到咖啡休息时分
Where I can have a sandwich and review
嚼着三明治回想从前
And it's me and my machine
只剩我和冰冷机器相伴
For the rest of the morning
整个上午的时光
For the rest of the afternoon
整个下午的时光
For the rest of my life
我余生的全部时光
Now my mind begins to wonder
此刻思绪开始飘荡
To the days back on the farm
回到农场的旧日时光
I can see my father smiling at me
仿佛看见父亲对我微笑
Swingin' on his arm
在他臂弯里轻轻摇晃
I can hear my grand dad's stories
祖父的故事仍在耳畔回响
Of the storms out on lake Erie
伊利湖上的惊涛骇浪
Where vessels and cargos and fortunes
吞噬了多少船只货物与财富
And sailor's lives were lost
还有水手们的生命
But it's my life has been wasted
可我的生命已被耗尽
And I have been the fool
我真是个傻瓜
To let this manufacture use my body for a tool
任由工厂把我的身躯当作工具
I can ride home in the evening
傍晚归家路上
Staring at my hands
我怔怔望着双手
And swearing by my sorrow that a young girl
我以悲伤起誓 年轻女孩
Ought to stand a better chance
理应拥有更好的机遇
So may I work the mills
只要我还能动弹
Just as long as I am able
就会继续在工厂劳作
And never meet the man
永远不必遇见
Whose name is on the label
标签上署名的那个男人
And it's me and my machine
只剩我和冰冷机器相伴
For the rest of the morning
整个上午的时光
For the rest of the afternoon
整个下午的时光
For the rest of my life
我余生的全部时光
