The Great Dust Storm (Dust Storm Disaster) - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)
On the 14th day of April of 1935
1935年4月14日
There struck the worst of dust storms that ever filled the sky
一场最惨烈的沙尘暴席卷了整片土地
You could see that dust storm comin' the cloud looked deathlike black
你能看见沙尘暴滚滚而来，云层看上去如死寂一般黑压压的
And through our mighty nation it left a dreadful track
我们如此强大的国家，最后也满身疮痍
From Oklahoma City to the Arizona line
从俄克拉荷马市到亚利桑那州
Dakota and Nebraska to the lazy Rio Grande
从内布拉斯加州的达科他地区到格兰德河
It fell across our city like a curtain of black rolled down
我们的城市就好像被黑色的窗帘遮蔽一样
We thought it was our judgement we thought it was our doom
我们以为这是对我们的审判，是我们的厄运
The radio reported we listened with alarm
我们惊恐万分地收听着广播里的报道
The wild and windy actions of this great mysterious storm;
这场不可思议的沙尘暴留下了狂风暴雨般的后果
From Albuquerque and Clovis and all New Mexico
从阿尔伯克基市和克罗维斯，蔓延到整个新墨西哥州
They said it was the blackest that ever they had saw
人们都说从未见过如此黑暗的画面
From old Dodge City Kansas the dust had rung their knell
从堪萨斯州的老道奇城开始，沙尘暴就发出了悲鸣
And a few more comrades sleeping on top of old Boot Hill
更多的伙伴已经长眠于美国西部边境的公墓
From Denver Colorado they said it blew so strong
从科罗拉多州的丹佛市开始，人们就说风暴太强了
They thought that they could hold out but they didn't know how long
他们以为自己能够坚持，但不知道能坚持多久
Our relatives were huddled into their oil boom shacks
我们的父老乡亲就在他们的棚屋内抱成一团
And the children they was cryin' as it whistled through the cracks
孩子们哭泣着，声音从缝隙中传出来
And the family it was crowded into their little room
全家人都挤在小房间里
They thought the world had ended and they thought it was their doom
他们以为是世界末日，他们以为这是他们的劫难
The storm took place at sundown it lasted through the night
这场沙尘暴开始于日落时分，一直持续到晚上
When we looked out next morning we saw a terrible sight
第二天早上我们看见外面惨不忍睹
We saw outside our window where wheat fields they had grown
我们透过窗户望向大麦生长的田地
Was now a rippling ocean of dust the wind had blown
已经成了一片海洋，大风呼呼刮着
It covered up our fences it covered up our barns
我们的篱笆被淹没了，谷仓也被淹没了
It covered up our tractors in this wild and dusty storm
尘土飞扬的风暴淹没了我们的拖拉机
We loaded our jalopies and piled our families in
我们发动了破旧的老爷车，载上全家人
We rattled down that highway to never come back again
驱车前往高速公路，再也不回来了
