以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Leroy was a farmer and an honest man
勒罗伊是个诚实的庄稼汉
Would have lived in Oklahoma all his days
本应在俄克拉荷马度过余生
He just wanted left alone to work a piece of land
只求独守一方田地耕作
But a hard wind come and blew his dreams away
可狂风呼啸 卷走了他的梦想
So he headed for the West Coast thought he could not lose
于是他奔赴西海岸 以为能重获新生
Rolling down the highway with the dustbowl blues
沿着公路颠簸 带着尘暴忧郁前行
It's a thousand miles from Broken Bow to Bakersfield
从断弓镇到贝克斯菲尔德 千里迢迢
And the highway's paved with heartaches all the way
这条公路铺满了辛酸血泪
Leroy drove on looking for a better deal
勒罗伊驱车前行 寻找更好的归宿
A place a man could settle down and stay
一个能让男人安身立命的地方
But the police at the state line beat him black and blue
但州界警察将他打得遍体鳞伤
Left him lying by the roadside with the dustbowl blues
丢他在路边 与尘暴忧郁相伴
They say California is a paradise
人们说加州是人间天堂
Hollywood turns night time into day
好莱坞让黑夜亮如白昼
But up along the San Joaquin those city lights
但圣华金河畔的那些城市灯火
Might as well be a million miles away
却仿佛远在百万英里之外
When your kids are cold and hungry wearing worn out shoes
当孩子们饥寒交迫 脚踩破旧鞋履
Standin' in the garden with the dustbowl blues
伫立花园中 身陷尘暴忧郁
