- Steve Strauss Youngstown 歌词
- Steve Strauss
- Here in north east Ohio
回想俄亥俄的东北
Back in 1803
回想1803年
James and Danny
James和Danny Heaton
Found the ore that was linin’ yellow creek
在黄色河谷发现了矿藏
They built a blast furnace
沿着河岸
Here along the shore
他们建起了高炉
And they made the cannon balls
他们又制造加农炮
That helped the union win the war
帮助联盟打了胜仗
Here in Youngstown
就在扬斯敦啊
Here in Youngstown
就在扬斯敦
My sweet Jenny， I’m sinkin’ down
亲爱的Jenny，我沉沦在这里
Here darlin’ in Youngstown
就在亲爱的扬斯敦
那时父亲烧着锅炉
Well my daddy worked the furnaces
烧得它比炼狱还要热
Kept ’em hotter than hell
我从越南战场回到家，却又去剥钢坯
I came home from Nam worked my way to scarfer
真是魔鬼才能干的活！
A job that’d suit the devil as well
铁矿石，焦炭和石灰岩
Taconite， coke and limestone
养大了我的孩子，让我拿到一点点钞票
Fed my children and made my pay
高高的烟囱就像上帝的手臂
Then smokestacks reachin’ like the arms of god
伸向烟灰和尘土装点的美丽天空
Into a beautiful sky of soot and clay
就在扬斯敦啊
Here in Youngstown
就在扬斯敦
Here in Youngstown
亲爱的珍妮，我沉沦在这里
My sweet Jenny， I’m sinkin’ down
就在亲爱的扬斯敦
Here darlin’ in Youngstown
我的父亲从二战战场回到家
Well my daddy come on the 0hio works
就在俄亥俄干起活
When he come home from world war two
而现在工场只剩废料和瓦砾
Now the yards just scrap and rubble
他说，“那些大小伙子做了希特勒做不了的事情”
He said， "Them big boys did what Hitler couldn’t do"
他们在工厂里制造坦克和炸弹
These mills they built the tanks and bombs
帮助国家打了胜仗
That won this country’s wars
我们把子孙送去朝鲜和越南战场
We sent our sons to Korea and Vietnam
现在却不知道他们到底为谁拼命为谁亡
Now we’re wondering what they were dyin’ for
就在扬斯敦啊
Here in Youngstown
就在扬斯敦
Here in Youngstown
亲爱的珍妮，我沉沦在此
My sweet Jenny， I’m sinkin’ down
就在亲爱的扬斯敦
Here darlin’ in Youngstown
从莫农加希拉山谷
到密沙比铁矿场
From the Monongahela valley
再到阿巴拉契亚山的煤矿
To the Mesabi iron range
故事里总是相同的
To the coal mines of Appalacchia
每天造出七百吨钢铁
The story’s always the same
现在，先生，你却告诉我世界已经变了
Seven-hundred tons of metal a day
我的血汗成就了你的富有
Now sir you tell me the world's changed
而我的名字随矿山旁的溪水流走
Once I made you rich enough
就在扬斯敦啊
Rich enough to forget my name
就在扬斯敦
Here in Youngstown
亲爱的珍妮，我沉沦在此
Here in Youngstown
就在亲爱的扬斯敦
My sweet Jenny， I’m sinkin’ down
当我死去的一刻，绝不想进入天堂
Here darlin’ in Youngstown
我不会再到天堂重复生前的活计
When I die I don’t want no part of heaven
我祈祷魔鬼把我带走
I would not do heavens work well
让我待在地狱熊熊的锅炉里燃烧
I pray the devil will come and take me
就在扬斯敦啊
To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell
就在扬斯敦
In Youngstown
亲爱的珍妮，我沉沦在此
Here in Youngstown
就在亲爱的扬斯敦
My sweet Jenny， I’m sinkin’ down
亲爱的珍妮，我沉沦在此
Here darlin’ in Youngstown
就在亲爱的扬斯敦
My sweet Jenny， I’m sinkin’ down
Here darlin’ in Youngstown
