I work on the border
我驻守在边境线上
I see what I see
目睹着一切真相
I work on the border
我驻守在边境线上
And it's working on me
灵魂正被慢慢侵蚀
I lie awake at night
长夜辗转难眠
Knowing what I know
知晓太多秘密
There's a price on the hit
每条边境巡逻线
Of every border patrol
都标着死亡价码
Where the smugglers do business
走私犯们交易的地方
That's where I make a stand
就是我坚守的战场
I know this old desert
这片古老荒漠
Like the back of my hand
熟悉如掌中纹章
I see greed in the bushes
灌木丛中窥见贪婪
I see snakes in the dark
黑暗里毒蛇潜藏
Some are friends of my brothers
有些是兄弟的故交
Can't you hear them dogs bark
可听见猎犬在狂吠
I come home to Maria
我回到玛利亚身边
At the end of the day
在一天结束之时
In the shape of a shadow
如影随形般
Holding demons at bay
与心魔苦苦周旋
It's just a border they say
他们说这不过是条边界线
It was Mexican soldiers
那些墨西哥士兵
Out of a black Humvee
从黑色悍马车里走出
With their guns to their shoulders
枪械抵在肩头
Aimed at my partner and me
枪口对准我和搭档
As they drove away laughing
他们扬长而去 笑声刺耳
But the message was clear
但传递的信息很明确
We don't care about nothing
在这片土地上
But the money down here
我们只认金钱至上
I come home to Maria
我回到玛利亚身边
In a bulletproof vest
防弹背心还未脱下
With the weight of the whole wide world
整个世界都压在我肩上
Barring down on my chest
重压沉沉落心头
It's just a border I guess
这不过是道边界线
From the shacks and the shanty's
从棚屋与贫民窟中
Come the hungry and poor
涌来饥寒交迫的人们
Some to drown at the crosses
有人溺亡在十字路口
Some to suffer no more
有人终得解脱苦痛
Guess you heard about cowboys
想必你听过牛仔传说
And row me in the end
最终却将我卷入漩涡
Both of them friends of mine
他们都是我的朋友
Both good men
都是好人
They did one thing right
只做对了一件事
And look what they got
看看他们的下场
Federal prison
联邦监狱
Where they've both gotta run
他们不得不逃亡
I come home to Maria
我回到玛利亚身边
Where else would I go
我还能去哪
'Cross the river to die by myself
独自渡河赴死地
Down in old Mexico
深入墨西哥旧境
It's just the border you know
你可知这就是边境
