Written by:Gordon Lightfoot
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
Motor City madness has touched the countryside
汽车城的疯狂已经蔓延到了乡村
And through the smoke and cinders
穿越滚滚浓烟和灰烬
You can hear it far and wide
你可以从四面八方听到
The doors are quickly bolted
门很快就关上了
And the children locked inside
孩子被关在家里
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
And the soul of Motor City is bared across the land
汽车城的灵魂在这片土地上展露无遗
As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
法律与秩序之书就在手中
Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
那些被带到这片土地上的先辈
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
In the streets of Motor City is a deadly silent sound
汽车城的街道上一片死寂
And the body of a dead youth lies stretched upon the ground
一个死去的年轻人躺在地上
Upon the filthy pavement
走在肮脏的人行道上
No reason can be found
找不到理由
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
Motor City madness has touched the countryside
汽车城的疯狂已经蔓延到了乡村
And the people rise in anger
人们愤怒地站起来
And the streets begin to fill
街道开始变得拥挤
And there's gunfire from the rooftops
屋顶响起枪声
And the blood begins to spill
鲜血开始流淌
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
In the mansion of the governor
在州长的豪宅里
There's nothing that is known for sure
没有什么是确定的
The telephone is ringing
电话铃声响起
And the pendulum is swinging
钟摆不停摆动
And they wonder how it happened
他们想知道怎么回事
And they really know the reason
他们真的知道原因
And it wasn't just the temperature
不只是气温的问题
And it wasn't just the season
这不只是一个季节
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
Motor City's burning and the flames are running wild
汽车城危在旦夕烈焰肆虐
They reflect upon the waters of the river and the lake
它们映射着江与湖的水
And everyone is listening
每个人都侧耳倾听
And everyone's awake
每个人都醒着
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
The printing press is turning
印刷机转动着
And the news is quickly flashed
消息迅速闪现
And you read your morning paper
你读着晨报
And you sip your cup of tea
你喝着茶
And you wonder just in passing
你会突然好奇
Is it him or is it me
是他还是我
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
In the office of the President
在总统办公室
The deed is done the troops are sent
行动已经完成军队已经出动
There's really not much choice you see
你看我真的没什么选择
It looks to us like anarchy
在我们看来就像无政府状态
And then the tanks go rolling in
坦克滚滚而来
To patch things up as best they can
竭尽所能弥补过错
There is no time to hesitate
没时间犹豫
The speech is made the dues can wait
演讲结束了会费可以等等

七月的黑色一天
Black day in July
七月的黑色一天
The streets of Motor City now are quiet and serene
如今汽车城的街道一片宁静祥和
But the shapes of gutted buildings
但被摧毁的建筑的形状
Strike terror to the heart
让人心生畏惧
And you say how did it happen
你说怎么会这样
And you say how did it start
你说这一切是如何开始的
Why can't we all be brothers
为何我们不能成为兄弟
Why can't we live in peace
为何我们不能和平相处
But the hands of the havenots
但是黑人同胞的双手
Keep falling out of reach
总是遥不可及
Black day in July

The doors are quickly bolted
