Written by：D. Axelrod/B. Raleigh/L. Rawls

I was born in a city that they call

The Windy city
风之城芝加哥
And they call it the Windy
人们称之为风城
City because of the Hawk
只因那肆虐的寒风
The Hawk
凛冽如鹰
The Almighty hawk
这无情的寒风
Mister Wind
风先生
Takes care of plenty business
在寒冬时节
'Round winter time
主宰着街头百态
The place that I lived in
我曾栖身之处
Was on a street that uh
坐落在那条
Happened to be one of
恰巧是条
The dead end streets
死胡同的街
Where there was nothing to block
那里空荡荡
The wind the elements
挡不住凛冽风霜
Nothing to buffer them for me
没有任何庇护
To keep 'em
为我抵挡
From knockin' my bed down d'y'hea'm
从敲打床板开始 你懂吗
I mean really sockin' it to me
我是说真的受够了
When the boiler would bust
当锅炉突然爆裂
And the heat was gone d'y'hea'm
暖气全无 你懂吗
I had to get fully dressed before
我不得不穿得严严实实
I could go to bed
才能钻进被窝
Course I couldn't put on
当然我无法穿戴整齐
My goulashes 'cause
我的橡胶靴子啊
They had buckles on 'em
上面还带着金属扣
And my folks didn't play that
但家里人不许我穿着乱跑
They said don't you tear up
他们叮嘱千万别
My bed clothes wit' dem boot hushies on
穿着带钉靴子扯破床单
But I was fortunate
但我还算幸运
Soon as I was big enough to get
刚长大到能打工的年纪
A job and save enough money
就拼命攒钱想逃离
Get a ticket
买张车票
Catch anything I split
逃离这片苦海
And I said one day I'm 'onna return
我曾发誓终有一日要荣归故里
And I'm gonna straighten it all out
重整这破碎山河
And I'm 'bout ready to go back now
如今归期将至
So I thought I'd tell you about it
特来与你诉说
Ah they say this is a big rich town
人们都说这是座繁华都市
But I live in the poorest part
我却蜗居在最贫瘠的角落
I know I'm on a dead end street
我深知自己困在死胡同里
In a city without a heart
在这座没有温度的城市
I learned to fight before I was six
六岁前就学会用拳头说话
The only way I could get along
那是我唯一的生存方式
When you're raised on a dead end street
在死胡同长大的孩子
You've gotta be tough and strong
必须变得坚韧顽强
Now all the guys I know gettin' in trouble
如今我认识的人都在惹麻烦
That's how it's always been
这就是我们的宿命
When the odds are all against you
当命运与你为敌
How can you win
该如何逆风翻盘
Yeah

Yeah yeah

Ah lord 'n' now yeah
主啊 就是现在
I'm gonna push my way out of here
我定要闯出这片泥潭
Even though I can't say when
纵使前路未卜
But I'm gonna get off of
但我终将逃离
This dead end street
这条死胡同
And I ain't never gonna come back again
再也不会回头
Never
永不
No no no
绝不 绝不 绝不
Oh now lord
主啊 求您指引
Again now yeah
再次振作 是的
I'm gonna push my way out of here
我定要闯出这片泥潭
Even though I can't say when
纵使前路未卜
But I'm gonna get off of
但我终将逃离
This dead end street
这条死胡同
And I ain't gonna never come back again
再也不会回头张望
No no no
绝不 绝不 绝不
I ain't gonna come back to
我永远不会再回到
This dead end street no more
这条绝望的街道
No
永不
'Cause I'm gonna get me a job
因为我一定要找到工作
I'm gonna save my dough
我要努力攒钱
Get away from here
离开这个地方
I ain't gonna come back no more
再也不要回来
I'm tired of a dead end street
厌倦了这条死胡同
I want to get out in the world
我要出去闯荡
And learn something
学习新事物
Tired of breakin' my back
厌倦了拼死拼活
I want to start usin' my mind
我要开始用头脑闯荡
