Masterpiece (Album Version) - The Temptations (诱惑演唱组)
Where I was born ev`rything was dull and dingy
我出生的地方,四处昏暗阴沉
I lived in a place they called the inner city
我住在他们叫做市中心的地方
Getting ahead huh was strictly a nono
那儿严令禁止出人头地
Cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
所以,没人关心普通百姓的生活
That live in the ghetto
那些住在贫民窟的人
Thousands of lives wasting away
成千上万的生命虚度光阴
People living from day to day
人们每天挣扎在生死边缘
It`s a challenge just staying alive
活着就是一个挑战
`Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
因为,在贫民窟,只有强者才能活下来
Broken down homes kids strung out
破碎的家庭,**的孩子
They don`t even know what life`s all about
他们甚至都不知道生活是什么样子
Stealin` cars robbin` bars
偷车,**酒吧
Mugging *** rat infested
**药物,老鼠丛生
And no one`s interested
这些都没人关心
Kids dodging cars for recreation
孩子们把躲避车,当作游戏
Only adds to a mother`s frustration
徒增母亲失望的情绪
Breakings folks comin` home
穷困破落,当他们回家
And finding all their possessions gone
发现他们的家当不见了
Oh it`s an ev`ry day thing - well well - in the ghetto
哦,在贫民窟,这是常事
Oh it`s an ev`ry day thing in the ghetto
哦,在贫民窟,这是常事
