- Paper Lace The Night Chicago Died 歌詞
- Paper Lace
- Daddy was a cop
爸爸以前是個警察
on the east side of Chicago
在芝加哥東區工作
Back in the U.S.A.
那時候在美國
back in the bad old days
日子不好過
In the heat of a summer night
那是個炎熱的夏夜
In the land of the dollar bill
那是個物慾橫流之地
When the town of Chicago died
那天芝加哥死去了
And they talk about it still
至今人們還在談論
When a man named Al Capone
有個叫阿爾·卡彭的人
Tried to make that town his own
想要統治這座城
And he called his gang to war
他把狗腿子叫來
With the forces of the law
跟警察火拼
I heard my mama cry
我聽到媽媽在哭泣
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
那天晚上我聽到她在祈禱
Brother what a night it really was
那個晚上
Brother what a fight it really was
打的那一架
Glory be!
真是精彩啊！
I heard my mama cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother what a night the people saw
那個晚上
Brother what a fight the people saw
打的那一架
Yes indeed!
人們可算是看熱鬧了！
And the sound of the battle rang
打鬥的聲音
Through the streets of the old east side
響徹老東區的大街小巷
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang
直到最後一個狗腿子
Had surrendered up or died
舉手投降，或者被打死了
There was shouting in the street
街上到處是尖叫
And the sound of running feet
和奔跑的聲音
And I asked someone who said
我向一個人打聽情況，他說
''Bout a hundred cops are dead!'
“死了一百來號警察呢！”

And there was no sound at all
家里安靜極了
But the clock upon the wall
只聽見牆上鐘錶滴答響
Then the door burst open wide
門砰地一聲打開了
And my daddy stepped inside
我爸爸走了進來
And he kissed my mama's face
他吻了媽媽的臉
And he brushed her tears away
擦掉了她的眼淚
The night Chicago died
芝加哥死去的晚上
(Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na)
吶吶吶……
