In the heat of the summer
在炎炎夏日里
When the pavements were burning
当人行道滚烫如火
The soul of a city was ravaged in the night
城市的灵魂在黑夜中支离破碎
After the city sun was sinkin'
当夕阳沉入城市尽头
Now no one knows how it started
无人知晓火种从何而起
Why the windows were shattered
为何橱窗尽数粉碎
But deep in the dark someone set the spark
但在深渊般的黑暗中 有人点燃了星火
And then it no longer mattered
而后一切便不再重要
Down the streets they were rumbling
街头巷尾骚动四起
All the tempers were ragin
愤怒情绪肆意蔓延
Oh where oh
哦 何处 哦
Where are the white silver tongues
那些巧言令色者何在
Who forgot to listen to the warnings
竟对警示充耳不闻
On and On come the angry
愤怒浪潮持续翻涌
No longer following reason
理智早已被抛诸脑后
And all the stores were the target now
商铺成为众矢之的
Where just the other day they were buyin'
就在前日这里还熙熙攘攘
Drunk with the memory of the ghetto
贫民区的记忆令人迷醉疯狂
Drunk with the lure of the looting
劫掠的诱惑使人失去理智
And the memory of the uniforms
制服的身影在记忆中闪回
Shoving with their sticks
警棍粗暴地推搡
Asking "Are you looking for trouble "
质问"你是不是想惹事"
"No no no " moaned the mayor
"不 不 不"市长痛苦呻吟
"It's not the way of the order
"这违背了法治精神"
"Oh stay in your homes
"请待在家中别出门
Please leave us alone
求你们别再骚扰我们
"We'll be glad to talk in the morning "
"我们很乐意明早再谈"
"For shame for shame
"可耻 真是可耻
" wrote the papers
报纸这样写道
"Why the hurry to your hunger
"何必急着满足你们的饥渴
"Now the rubble's resting
如今废墟静卧
On your broken streets
在你们破碎的街道上"
"So you see what your rage has unraveled "
"看看你们的愤怒酿成了什么恶果"
Baricades sadly were risin
路障在哀伤中筑起
Bricks were heavily flyin'
砖块在空中狂舞
And the loudspeaker drowned
扩音器的声音被淹没
Like a whisperin' sound
如同微弱的耳语
When compared to the angered emotions
在愤怒的浪潮前黯然失色
And when the fury was over
当狂怒终于平息
And the Shame was replacing the anger
羞愧取代了满腔怒火
So wrong so wrong but we've been down so long
如此错误 如此错误 但我们已压抑太久
And we had to make somebody listen
必须让某些人听见我们的怒吼
In the heat of the summer
在炎炎夏日里
