Darkies all work on the Mississippi
黑人都在密西西比河上工作
Darkies all work while the white folks play
黑人埋头苦干白人游戏人间
Pullin' dose boats from the dawn till the sunset
从日出到日落都开着药船
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
不休息直到审判日
Don't look up and don't look down
不要抬头也不要低头
You don't dare make the rich boss frown
你不敢让有钱的老板皱起眉头
Bend your knees and bow your head
双膝跪地低下头
And tote that barge until you're dead
带着一艘驳船直到你死去
Let me go away from the Mississippi
让我离开密西西比河
Let me go away from the wise man boss
让我远离睿智的人老板
Show me that stream called the River of Jordan
带我去看看那条叫做约旦河的小溪
That's the old stream that I long to cross
那是我渴望穿越的老河
Old Man River
老头河
That Old Man River
老人河
He doesn't say nothin' he must know somethin'
他一言不发他肯定知道些什么
He just keeps rollin'
他不停地摇摆
He keeps on rollin'
他不停摇摆
A long ol' river forever keeps rollin' on
一条长河永不停息
He don't plant taters
他不种那种东西
He don't plant cotton
他不种棉花
And then they plant 'em
然后他们把它们种下
Is soon forgotten
很快就会被遗忘
But Ol' Man River
但是《奥曼河》
He just keeps rollin'
他不停地摇摆
A long ol' river keeps hearing that song
一条长长的河流不断响起那首歌
You and me we sweat and strain
你和我我们汗流浃背
Body all achin' and racked with pain
浑身疼痛饱受折磨
Tote that barge lift that bale
带着驳船扛起货包
You gets a little drunk
你有点醉醺醺的
And you land in jail

I get weary and sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin'

But Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along
但他还是不断前进
