In the heat of the summer
在炎炎夏日
When the pavements were burning
当人行道着火时
The soul of a city was ravaged in the night
一个城市的灵魂在黑夜中被蹂躏
After the city sun was setting
太阳落山之后
Now no one knows how it started
现在没人知道这一切是怎么开始的
Why the windows were shattered
为何窗户支离破碎
But deep in the dark someone set the spark
但在黑暗深处有人点燃了焰火
And then it no longer mattered
后来一切都不重要了
Down the streets they were rumbling
街头枪声四起
Birds were already flyin'
鸟儿已经翱翔天际
Oh where oh where are the white silver tongues
银白色的舌头在哪里
Who forgot to listen to the warnings
忘了听从警告
Drunk with the memory of the ghetto
沉浸在贫民窟的回忆里
Drunk with the lure of the looting
掠夺的诱惑让我沉醉
With the memory of the uniforms shoving with their sticks
穿着制服拿着武器招摇过市
Asking are you looking for trouble
问你是不是在找麻烦
No no no moaned the mayor
市长抱怨道
That's not the way of the order
这不是秩序的规则
Stay in your homes please leave us alone
待在家里请别打扰我们
We'll be glad to talk in the morning
我们会很高兴在早上交谈
For shame for shame wrote the papers
可耻的可耻的写下这些文件
Why the hurry to your hunger
为何你急不可耐
Now the rubble is resting on your broken streets
如今你的残垣断壁上到处都是碎石
And you see what your rage has unraveled
你知道你怒火攻心的后果
And when the fury was over
怒火平息之后
Shame was replacing the anger
羞愧代替了愤怒
So wrong so wrong but we've been down so long
大错特错可我们已经沉沦太久
And we had to make somebody listen
我们必须让别人侧耳倾听
In the heat of summer
在炎炎夏日
