'Twas down in Mississippi no so long ago
就在不久前的密西西比
When a young boy from Chicago town
一个来自芝加哥的小男孩
Stepped through a Southern door
穿过南方的大门
This boy's dreadful tragedy I can still remember well
这个男孩可怕的悲剧我依然记忆犹新
The color of his skin was black
他的皮肤是黑色的
And his name was Emmett Till
他的名字是埃米特·蒂尔
Some men they dragged him
有些人把他拖走了
To a barn and there they beat him up
来到一个谷仓他们把他打得落花流水
They said they had a reason but I can't remember what
他们说他们有原因但我不记得是什么原因了
They tortured him and did some things too evil to repeat
他们折磨他做了一些无法重复的坏事
There was screaming sounds inside the barn
谷仓里响起了尖叫声
There was laughing sounds out on the street
街上到处都是欢声笑语
Then they rolled his body
然后他们把他卷起来
Down a gulf amidst a bloody red rain
在腥风血雨中穿过海湾
And they threw him in the waters
他们把他扔进水里
Wide to cease his screaming pain
渴望平息心中的痛苦
The reason that they killed him there
他们在那里杀害他的原因
And I'm sure it ain't no lie
我相信这不是骗人的
Was just for the fun of killing' him
只是为了好玩干掉他
And to watch him slowly die
看着他慢慢死去
And then to stop the United States of yelling for a trial
然后阻止美国要求审判的声音
Two brothers they confessed that
两个兄弟坦承
They had killed poor Emmett Till
他们杀了可怜的埃米特·蒂尔
But on the jury there were men
但陪审团里有些人
Who helped the brothers commit this awful crime
帮兄弟犯下可怕罪行的人
And so this trial was a mockery
所以这场审判就是一场嘲弄
But nobody there seemed to mind
但似乎没人在意
I saw the morning papers but I could not bear to see
我看到晨报但我不忍心看到
The smiling brothers walking'
笑容满面的兄弟们走在路上
Down the courthouse stairs
走下法院的楼梯
For the jury found them innocent
因为陪审团认定他们是无辜的
And the brothers they went free
兄弟们重获自由
While Emmett's body floats the foam of a Jim Crow southern sea
当艾美特的尸体漂浮在南方海面上
If you can't speak out against this kind of thing
如果你不能站出来反对这种事情
A crime that's so unjust
多么不公平的罪行
Your eyes are filled with dead men's dirt
你的眼中充满了死者的尘土
Your mind is filled with dust
你的心灵蒙上尘埃
Your arms and legs they must be in shackles and chains
你的胳膊和腿肯定被枷锁束缚着
And your blood it must refuse to flow
你的血液必须停止流淌
For you to let this human race fall down so God-awful low
你竟然让这个人类如此堕落
This song's just a reminder to remind your fellow man
这首歌只是提醒你提醒你的朋友
That this kind of thing still lives
这种事情依然存在
Today in that ghost-robed Ku Klux Klan
今天穿着鬼袍的三k党
But if all of us folks that thinks alike
但如果我们所有人想法一致
If we gave all we could give
如果我们竭尽所能
We make this great land
我们创造了这片伟大的土地
Of ours a greater place to live
一个更美好的家园
