The Eyes of Portland - John Mellencamp
Lyrics by:John Mellencamp
Composed by:John Mellencamp
As I saw through the eyes of Portland one day
有一天我透过波特兰之眼放眼望去
There were so many homeless they'd all gone astray
看到许多无家可归的人 他们都已误入歧途
They slept on the corners during the day
白天的时候 他们在角落里沉沉入睡
As not to be harmed when the sun went away
以免在阳光消失以后受到伤害
There were old ones and young ones white ones and black
老老少少 肤色各异的人流落街头
They were all shapes and sizes with rags on their backs
尽管他们身高体型各不相同 然而身上穿着破烂的衣服
So many people mixed up in this stew
许多人深陷泥潭 无法自拔
With no place to go and nothing to do
无处可去 无所事事
All of these homeless where do they come from
这些无家可归的人 他们究竟来自哪里
In this land of plenty where nothing gets done
在这片富饶的土地上 大家束手无策
To help those who are empty and unable to run
无法帮助那些心灵空虚又无力逃跑的人
Your tears and prayers won't help the homeless
你的泪水和祈祷不会帮助到这些无家可归的人
Some are mentally ill some are higher than kites
有些人精神不正常 有些人嗨到不能自已
Selling their bodies as day turns to night
在夜幕降临以后 他们出卖自己的身体
Where are their loved ones does anyone care
他们的亲人在哪里 是否有人在乎这些
To be lost and alone in the middle of nowhere
迷失方向 独自一人徘徊于荒无人烟的地方
All of these homeless where do they come from
这些无家可归的人 他们究竟来自哪里
In this land of plenty where nothing gets done
在这片富饶的土地上 大家束手无策
To help those who are empty and unable to run
无法帮助那些心灵空虚又无力逃跑的人
Your tears and prayers won't help the homeless
你的泪水和祈祷不会帮助到这些无家可归的人
What will it take for this country to see
究竟需要付出什么样的代价 才能让这个国家明白
For the grace of God go they and not you and me
他们应该去祈求上帝的恩典 而不是你与我
The fallen and forgotten who are down on their knees
那些堕落 惨遭遗忘的人 他们双膝跪地
Living here in the gutters in this land of the free
在这自由国度的阴沟里挣扎求生
All of these homeless where do they come from
这些无家可归的人 他们究竟来自哪里
In this land of plenty where nothing gets done
在这片富饶的土地上 大家束手无策
To help those who are empty and unable to run
无法帮助那些心灵空虚又无力逃跑的人
Your tears and prayers won't help the homeless
你的泪水和祈祷不会帮助到这些无家可归的人
Your tears and prayers won't help the homeless
你的泪水和祈祷不会帮助到这些无家可归的人
