In the Ghetto
In the Ghetto - Elvis Presley (猫王)
As the snow flies
雪花纷纷
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
在一个芝加歌寒冷灰色的的早晨
A poor little baby child is born
一位小男孩出生
In the ghetto
在贫民区里
And his mama cries
他的妈妈哭了
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
贫民区里又多了一件她不需要的东西
It's another hungry mouth to feed
那就是一张需要喂养的嘴巴
In the ghetto
在贫民区里
People don't you understand
人们，你们懂吗
The child needs a helping hand
这个孩子需要一双帮助的手
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
否则他会变成一个性情暴动的人
Take a look at you and me
看看你和我
Are we too blind to see
我们对此太盲目了
Do we simply turn our heads
让我们转过头
And look the other way
用另一种思路去思考
Well the world turns
随着时光的流逝
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
这个鼻子灵敏的饥肠辘辘的小男孩
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
在呼啸的冷风中玩耍
In the ghetto
在贫民区里
And his hunger burns
当他饥饿难耐的时候
So he starts to roam the streets at night
他就漫游在夜晚的街道上
And he learns how to steal
学着怎样去偷窃
And he learns how to fight
学着怎样打架
In the ghetto
在贫民区里
Then one night in desperation
一个绝望的夜晚
The young man breaks away
年轻人不顾一切地出走了
He buys a gun steals a car
他买了枪，偷了辆车
Tries to run but he don't get far
然后试图逃跑，但是他跑不掉
And his mama cries
他的妈妈哭了
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
当聚集的人群把这个暴躁的年轻人包围时
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
年轻人手里拿着枪倒在了贫民区的街道上
In the ghetto
在贫民区里
And as her young man dies
这个年轻人死的时候,
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
是一个灰冷的芝加哥早晨
Another little baby child is born
又一个新生儿降临在贫民区里
In the ghetto
在贫民区里
And his mama cries
他的妈妈哭了
