Lyrics by:Dion DiMucci/Mike Aquilina
We traveled this land back in nineteen sixty-two
我们曾在一九六二年 漫游这片土地
We played the places that were home to me and you
走过那些 属于你我的故地
We drove to Memphis we rocked a set
驱车前往孟菲斯 纵情演奏一曲
We walked the streets at night and smoked a cigarette
深夜街头漫步 指尖烟雾袅袅升起
Here in America
在这美利坚
Here in America
在这美利坚
There was so much I didn't know
当时懵懂不知
About the way that life could go
命运竟会如此流逝
Here in America
在这美利坚
Down the block I saw the people stop and stare
街角人群驻足凝望
You did your best to make a Yankee boy aware
你竭力让北方少年明白
I never thought about the color of your skin
我从未在意你的肤色
I never worried 'bout the hotel I was in
也不曾担忧栖身何处
Here in America woah
在这美利坚啊
Here in America in America
在这美利坚的土地上
But the places I could stay
但那些我能停留的地方
They all made you walk away
他们全都逼你离开
Here in America
在这美利坚
You were the man who earned the glory and the fame
你曾是赢得荣耀与声名的英雄
But cowards felt that they could call you any name
懦夫们却肆意对你污言相向
You were the star standing in the light
你是聚光灯下的璀璨明星
That won you nothing on a city street at night
夜色街头却换不来半分尊严
Here in America
在这美利坚
Here in America
在这美利坚
You were told that we were free
他们告诉你我们自由无拘
This land is made for you and me
这片土地为你我而开辟
Here in America
在这美利坚
You stayed more steady than a backbeat on a drum
你的坚定胜过鼓点般沉稳
You told me you believed a change was gonna come
曾对我说变革终将来临
You sang for freedom but lived life free
歌声颂自由 却活得洒脱不羁
I saw it in your smile and in your dignity
那笑容与尊严里 我读懂真谛
Here in America
在这美利坚
Here in America
在这美利坚
A preacher's kid you'd always be
你永远是牧师家的孩子
Singing the truth to set us free
用歌声传递真理 为我们争取自由
Here in America
在这美利坚
Here in America
在这美利坚
You were a star when you were standing on a stage
站在舞台上的你 曾是那般耀眼
I look back on it I feel a burning rage
回首往事 我心中燃起愤怒的火焰
You sang you send me I sang
你唱着"你让我心动" 我也跟着唱
I wonder why
我仍在思索
I still wonder you were way too young to die
为何你如此年轻就离世
Here in America
在这美利坚
Here in America
在这美利坚
Hey Sam I wish that you were near
嘿 山姆 多希望你在身旁
I wish that you were here
多愿你未曾远去
Here in America
在这美利坚
Here in America
在这美利坚
America
美利坚
In America
在这片土地
Here in America
在这美利坚
