Dear Graciela I'm writin' this letter
亲爱的格拉谢拉 我正深夜执笔
Deep in the night and I'm all alone
四下无人 孤灯独明
It's nearly breakin' my heart to tell you
每字每句都撕扯着我的心
I'm so far away from home
因我漂泊在远方
I know I said I'd never cross the border
曾发誓绝不越境谋生
I know I promised to return to you
承诺过会回到你身旁
But I lost my job in the maquiladora
但加工厂的工作已失去
What's a simple man to do
一个普通人能怎样
I met a man in Tijuana
在提华纳遇见一个男人
Said he had a job for me to do
他说有份差事要我帮忙
Standin' on a corner in San Diego
站在圣地亚哥的街角
With a pocketful of red balloons
口袋里塞满红色气球
All I wanted was a little money
我只想赚点微薄钱财
All I needed was a week or two
只需一两周就好
I never even saw the police comin'
却未察觉警察已逼近
What's a simple man to do
一个普通人能怎样
Tell my mamma that I said I'm sorry
告诉妈妈我很抱歉
I know she didn't bring me up this way
我知道她从未这样教育我
Ask if she could light a candle for me
能否请她为我点一支蜡烛
Pray that I'll come home someday
祈祷我终能归家
Oh Graciela won't you please forgive me
噢Graciela 请你原谅我
I never meant to bring this shame to you
我从未想过给你带来耻辱
I lost my job in the maquiladora
我在工厂失去了工作
What's a simple man to do
一个普通人能怎么办
