Only A Pawn In Their Game - Bob Dylan
Written by:Bob Dylan
A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers' blood
从灌木丛背后射出的子弹带有迈德加 艾弗斯的鲜血
A finger fired the trigger to his name
一根手指对准他的名字叩响了扳机
A handle hid out in the dark
枪柄隐藏在夜色中
A hand set the spark
一只手微微发亮
Two eyes took the aim
两只眼睛瞄准目标
Behind a man's brain
瞄准一个男人的脑后
But he can't be blamed
但不该归咎于他
He's only a pawn in their game
他只是他们游戏中的一个人质
A south politician preaches to the poor white man
一个南方政客向那个贫穷的白人游说
You got more than blacks don't complain
你得抓更多的黑人 不要反复抱怨
You're better than them you been born with white skin they explain
你最好比他们强 你最后生来就是白人 他们一一解释
And the Negro's name
黑鬼的名字
Is used it is plain
因为平凡而频繁使用
For the politician's gain
对于政客的利益
As he rises to fame
当他升职名噪一时
And the poor white remains
可怜的白人仍然留在
On the caboose of the train
火车的最后一节
But it ain't him to blame
但不该归咎于他
He's only a pawn in their game
他只是他们游戏中的一个人质
The deputy sheriffs the soldiers the governors get paid
代理州长 士兵们 政府官员都有劳受职
And the marshals and cops get the same
元帅和警察得到相同的报酬
But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool
但可怜的白人却像个工具被他们玩弄于股掌间
He's taught in his school
他在学校接受教育
From the start by the rule
从一开始的教条规定
That the laws are with him
法律始终紧随其身
To protect his white skin
为了保护他的白色皮肤
To keep up his hate
为了保持他对黑人的憎恶
So he never thinks straight
所以他从没有想通
'Bout the shape that he's in
关于他被填鸭式教育成人
But it ain't him to blame
但不该归咎于他
He's only a pawn in their game
他只是他们游戏中的一个人质
From the powerty shacks he looks from the cracks to the tracks
来自贫苦人的破屋 他从裂缝间望向铁轨
And the hoof beats pound in his brain
马蹄和人声在他的脑中回响
And he's taught how to walk in a pack
他被教育如何蜷作一团行走
Shoot in the back
在背后放冷枪
With his fist in a clinch
拳头紧紧握住
To hang and to lynch
吊挂起来处以极刑
To hide neath the hood
用头罩遮住面孔
To kill with no pain
冷漠麻木地屠杀
Like a dog on a chain
就像一只吊在铁链下的狗
He ain't got no name
他甚至都不能有姓名
But it ain't him to blame
但不该归咎于他
He's only a pawn in their game
他只是他们游戏中的一个人质
Today Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught
今天 迈德加 艾弗斯在这颗子弹下惨遭下葬
They lowered him down as a king
他们把他像一个国王一样轻轻放倒在地
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
但太阳带着阴影照耀在那个人身上
That fired the gun
那个开火的人
He'll see by his grave
他或在他墓旁继续凝视
On the stone that remains
凝视残存的这块石头
Carved next to his name
在他的名字后面刻着
His epitaph plain
他朴实无华的墓志铭
Only a pawn in their game
只是他们游戏中的一名人质
