- Nanci Griffith This Old Town 歌词
- Nanci Griffith
- This old town should've burned down in 1929
这条老街应该建在1929年
那就是我们排队
That's when we stood in line
等着领救济汤的时候
吞咽我们的尊严
Waiting for our soup
这条老街应该建在1931年
甘霖难下
Swallowing our pride
肚子饿得叫天响，肺里满是尘土
And This old town should've burn down in 1931
我们想到大限已到
这条老街用血汗建成
When the rain refused to come
在家乡的被黑风暴席卷的地方
沙子下面就是岩石
Air filled up our bellies, dust filled up our lungs
Oh 我他妈都快死了 这条街依然矗立着
And we thought our time had come
这条老街应该建在1944年
最后一拨人奔赴战场（应该是诺曼底登陆）
And This old town was built by hand
他们将会带来不同的消息
如果都回来的话
In the dust bowl of the motherland
这条老街应该建在1956年
那时龙卷风来袭
There must be rock beneath this sand
所有的信心都被掩埋在
木板和砖块下
Oh I'll be damned, this town still stands
我们几乎就要离去
这条老街用血汗建成
This old town should've burned down in 1944
在家乡的被黑风暴席卷的地方
沙子下面就是岩石
When the last men went to war
Oh 我都快死了 这条街依然矗立着
在遥远的地方
They came back different
城市闪闪发光
If they came back at all
人行道闪烁着霓虹灯的梦想
那段历史一遍又一遍的回忆
This old town should've burned down in 1956
当我小孩的小孩
问我为什么那时没走
That's when the twister hit
他们说城市的心脏
是你所认识的人
And all our hopes were buried
他们总会邀你回家
Beneath the boards and bricks
这条老街用血汗建成
And we almost called it quits
在家乡的被黑风暴席卷的地方
沙子下面就是岩石
This old town was built by hand
Oh 我都快死了 这条街依然矗立着
In the dust bowl of the motherland
There must be rock beneath this sand
Oh I'll be damned, this town still stands
Somewhere in the distance
The city lights do shine
The sidewalks gleam with neon dreams
That call from time to time
When my children's children
Ask me why didn't I go
They say the heart of any town
Is the people that you've known
They'll always call you home
This old town was built by hand
In the dust bowl of the motherland
There must be rock beneath this sand
Oh I'll be damned, this town still stands
