The Illegal Line - Will Hoge

The Illegal Line - Will Hoge
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Well I must have walked for fourteen days
我走了整整十四天
All that I could carry and I made my way
带着仅有的行囊 一路前行
To the new holy land not a grand parade
来到这片新圣地 没有盛大的欢迎
Snuck across the border to the U S A
偷偷越过边境 来到美国
Didn't take too long for me to find some work
没过多久 我就找到了一份工作
Just stood there waiting round in the Texas dirt
只是站在德州的尘土中等待
And now I lay concrete the way I did back home
如今我铺设混凝土 就像在家乡一样
From 6 am until the light is gone
从清晨六点 直到天色渐暗
Then it's back to
然后回到
The hotel drink a case of beer
旅馆，喝一箱啤酒
One for every person that's livin' here
为每个住在这里的人干一杯
Four dollars an hour but nobody moans
每小时四美元，但没人抱怨
Cause it's three fifty more
因为比在家乡
Than we can get back home
多赚了三块五
Then I send the money back down to my sweet wife
然后我把钱寄给我亲爱的妻子
So she can tell my children 'bout a better life
让她告诉孩子们关于更好的生活
Papa's trying hard just to make it fine
父亲努力奋斗只为生活更好
Fifty miles north of that illegal line
在非法边境以北五十英里处
Late one night they came in through the door
某天深夜他们破门而入
With guns and lights screamin' get on the floor
手持枪支和灯光 大喊着让我们趴下
They cuffed us up tight and hauled us all away
他们紧紧铐住我们 将我们全部带走
Couldn't hardly understand
几乎听不懂他们说的任何一个字
A single word they'd say
他们的话语难以理解
Early next mornin' judge drug us in
次日清晨法官将我们拖入法庭
He stared us all down just like guilty men
他用审视的目光盯着我们，仿佛我们都有罪
He said any of you boys got a thing to say
他说：“你们这些小伙子有什么要说的吗？”
I asked him what would he do if he was in my place
我问他，如果他站在我的位置会怎么做
He said there's rules boy and this just ain't the way
他说：“孩子，这是规则，你不能这样”
And I said sometimes a starvin' family just can't wait
我说：“有时候，一个饥饿的家庭等不了那么久”
But he slammed down his gavel now I'm doing time
但他重重敲下法槌，现在我正在服刑
Fifty miles north of that illegal line
在非法边境以北五十英里处
Fifty miles north of that illegal line-eeeeee
在非法边界以北五十英里的地方——
