Someone had to pick the cotton
总得有人弯腰采摘棉花
Someone had to pick the corn
总得有人躬身收获玉米
Someone had to slave and be able to sing
总得有人负重劳作仍能歌唱
That's why darkies were born;
这便是我们降生的意义
Someone had to laugh at trouble
总得有人笑对苦难
Though he was tired and worn
纵使早已疲惫不堪
Had to be contented with any old thing
安于命运赐予的微光
That's why darkies were born;
这便是我们降生的意义
Sing sing sing when you're weary and
歌唱吧 当你疲惫不堪时
Sing when you're blue
歌唱吧 当你忧郁满怀时
Sing sing that's what you taught
歌唱吧 这是你教会
All the white folks to do;
所有白人做的事
Someone had to fight the Devil
总要有人对抗恶魔
Shout about Gabriel's Horn
传扬加百列的号角
Someone had to stoke the train
总要有人为火车添煤
That would bring God's children to green pastures
将神的子民引向青翠牧场
That's why darkies were born
这就是黑人生来的使命
