Living for the city - Ike & Tina Turner
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by：S. Wonder
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
密西西比州艰难岁月里降生的男孩
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
蜷缩在斑驳四壁的陋室中成长
His parents give him love and affection
父母倾注全部温情与爱意
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
指引他在荆棘路上挺直脊梁
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口 挣扎在这钢铁丛林
His father works some days for fourteen hours
父亲日日劳作十四小时不停歇
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
微薄收入却难换温饱
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
母亲跪擦地板换几枚铜钱
And you'd best she hardly makes a penny
母亲辛勤劳作却收入微薄
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口 挣扎在这钢铁丛林
His sister's black but she is sho nuff pretty
妹妹肤色黝黑却美丽动人
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
短裙虽旧 双腿却结实有力
And 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 never dirty
衣衫虽旧却永远干净整洁
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口 挣扎在这钢铁丛林
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
她的哥哥聪慧过人 比多数人都明事理
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
他长久忍耐 但耐心即将消磨殆尽
To find a job is like a haystack needle
求职如同大海捞针般艰难
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
只因他的肤色 在这里不受待见
The living just enough just enough for the city
勉强维生 仅够在这城市喘息
Oh ah
Ah sh*t it yeah
啊 这该死的现实
Cause living just enough
因为活着已用尽全力
Cause they ain't yet enough
因为他们还不够
Propable start you ain't get no start
可能你连开始的机会都没有
Give that lode one rode can't get shut
背负重担却无法摆脱
What is hole they'll hold you every know
无论多深的坑 他们都会拖住你
One day somebody gonna come on
总有一天会有人出现
Gonna take their children speel their hole
带走他们的孩子 填补他们的空缺
Oh yeah holy just you just know
是啊 只有天知道
Some just even know
有些人甚至一无所知
They can living enough
他们勉强维持生计
Living I may just probablily back
我或许只能选择回头
