To a mansion in the city came a couple old and gray
一对头发灰白的老夫妇来到城里的一座豪宅里
To meet their son who left them long ago
去见早已离开他们的儿子
He had prospered and grown wealthy
他发了大财变得富有
Since in youth he ran away
从年轻时起他就逃跑了
And now his life was one of pomp and show
如今他的生活浮华而浮华
But coldly did he greet them for rich friends
可他冷冰冰地把他们当成有钱的朋友
Were by his side
都在他身边
Who often heard him boast of home so grand
经常听他吹嘘自己的家多么宏伟
But the old man sadly looked at him
但是老人悲伤地看着他
And said in modest pride
骄傲地说
As he gently took his dear wife by the hand
他轻轻地拉着他亲爱的妻子
We are just plain folks your mother and me
我们只是普通人你妈妈和我
Just plain folks like our own folks used to be
就像我们曾经的亲人一样平平无奇
As our presence seems to grieve you
我们的出现似乎让你感到悲伤
We will go away and leave you
我们会离你而去
For we're sadly out of place here
可悲的是我们格格不入
'Cause we're just plain folks

'Taint so long ago

Since you were just a simple country lad

And did the work that country lads should do

In those days you never looked with shame

On mother and old dad

In fact my boy we both were proud of you
事实上我的孩子我们都为你感到骄傲
But something must have changed you
但你肯定是被什么东西改变了
For your wealth has brought vain pride
因为你的财富带来了虚荣
Still riches sometimes take swift wings they say
依然腰缠万贯有时会插上翅膀他们说
But you'll always find a hearty
但你总会发现
Welcome at your parents side

They will greet you in the same old loving way

For we're sadly out of place here
