以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
一个男孩降生在密西西比的艰难岁月
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
四面斑驳的墙壁将他围绕
His parents give him love and affection
父母给予他无尽的爱与关怀
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
指引他坚定前行不偏离方向
Living just enough
勉强维持着
Just enough for the city
城市边缘的生存
His father works some days for fourteen hours
父亲时常工作长达十四小时
And you can believe that he barely makes a dollar
却几乎挣不到一块钱的微薄收入
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
母亲终日擦洗地板
And you can best she hardly makes a penny
收入却微薄得可怜
Living just enough
勉强维持着
Just enough for the city
城市边缘的生存
His sister's black but she is sho''nuff pretty
姐姐肤色黝黑却美丽动人
Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy
短裙下是结实有力的双腿
To walk to school she's got to get up early
为赶上学她必须早早起床
Her clothes are old but never dirty
衣衫虽旧却永远整洁干净
Living just enough
勉强维持着
Just enough for the city
城市边缘的生存
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
她的哥哥聪慧过人 比多数人都明智
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
他长久忍耐 但耐心即将耗尽
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
只因他的肤色 在这里不受待见
Living just enough
勉强维持着
Just enough for the city
城市边缘的生存
Ohhhhhh ah
Ahhhhhh yeah
Cause living just enough
因为活着已用尽全力
Cause they ain't yet enough
因为他们从未满足
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
背负重担却无法卸下
What is hole they'll hold you every know
深陷泥潭无人知晓
One day somebody gonna come on
终有一天会有人来拯救
Gonna take their children speel their hole
要让他们的孩子摆脱困境
Oh yeah holy just you just know
噢 是的 唯有信仰指引前路
Some just even know
有些人甚至从未知晓
