以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Oh Ellis island was swarming
埃利斯岛人潮汹涌
Like a scene from a costume hall
宛如戏服大厅的光景
Decked out in the colors in europe
身披欧陆的斑斓色彩
And on fire with the hope of it all
心中燃着炽热的希望
There my father's own father stood huddled
我祖父曾在此瑟缩伫立
With the tired and hungry and scared
与疲惫饥饿恐惧为伴
Turn of the century pilgrims
世纪之交的朝圣者们
Bound by the dream that they shared
被共同的梦想紧紧相连
They were standing in lines just like cattle
他们如牲畜般排成长队
Poked and prodded and shoved
被推搡戳刺 任人摆布
Some were one desk away from sweet freedom
有人距自由仅一步之遥
Some were torn from someone they loved
有人被迫与挚爱分离
Through this sprawling tower of babel
穿过这座混乱的巴别塔
Came a young man confused and alone
走来迷茫孤独的年轻人
Determined and bound for america
怀揣决心奔赴美洲大陆
Carrying everything that he owned
带着全部家当与希望
Sometimes when I look in my grandfather's immigrant eyes
每当我凝望祖父那双移民者的眼眸
I see that day reflected and I can't hold my
往事便在其中浮现 令我难以
Feelings inside
抑制心中激荡
I see starting with nothing and working hard all of
我看见他从赤手空拳开始 用一生
His life
奋力拼搏
So don't take it for granted say grandfather's immigrant eyes
莫将这一切视为理所当然 祖父的移民者之眼诉说
Now he rocks and stares out the window
如今他摇椅临窗静坐
But his eyes are just still clear
眼神却依然清澈如初
As the day he sailed through the harbor
那日他乘船驶入港湾
Come ashore on the island of tears
登上了泪水之岛
My grandfather's days are numbered
祖父的时日已不多
But I won't let his memory die
但我不会让他的记忆消逝
He 'Cause me the gift of this country
他赐予我这个国家的馈赠
And the look
还有那目光
In his immigrant eyes
他移民者眼中的神采
Sometimes when I look in my grandfather's immigrant eyes
每当我凝望祖父那双移民者的眼眸
I see that day reflected and I can't hold my
往事便在其中浮现 令我难以
Feelings inside
抑制心中激荡
I see starting with nothing and working hard all of
我看见他从赤手空拳开始 用一生
His life
奋力拼搏
So don't take it for granted say grandfather's immigrant eyes
莫将这一切视为理所当然 祖父的移民者之眼诉说
So don't take it for granted say grandfather's immigrant eyes
莫将这一切视为理所当然 祖父的移民者之眼诉说
