以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
被四面并不漂亮的墙包围
His parents give him love and affection
他的父母给予他爱与关怀
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
让他坚强地朝着正确的方向前进
Living just enough just enough for the city ee ha
生活仅仅足够,仅仅足够在城市中生存 嘿哈
His father works some days for fourteen hours

And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
你可以打赌他几乎赚不到一美元
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
你最好相信她几乎赚不到一分钱
Living just enough just enough for the city yeah
生活仅够勉强维持在这座城市 是的
His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty
他妹妹是黑人 但她确实漂亮
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
她的裙子很短 但她的腿结实有力
To walk to school she's got to get up early
为了上学 她必须早早起床
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
她的衣服虽旧 但从不脏乱
Living just enough just enough for the city um hum

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
她的哥哥聪明,比许多人更有智慧
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
他耐心长久,但很快将耗尽
To find a job is like a haystack needle
找工作如同大海捞针
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
因为他生活的地方,不接纳有色人种
Living just enough just enough for the city
生活勉强维持,仅仅够在城市中生存
