我是個普通的人沒什麼特別沒什麼偉大 人聲: Christy Moore 每樣東西都得靠自己工作來賺 I'm an ordinary man, nothin' special nothin' grand 我從沒想要很多有了這些我已經很快樂 I've had to work for everything I own 足夠讓我將一家人養活 Well I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I got 現在他們說時代不景氣要把工作卡退給我 Enough to keep my family and my home 他們說這裡再也沒有工作可做 Now they say that times are hard & they've handed me my cards 等哨聲響起大門就要關閉 They say there's not the work to go around 今晚他們就要關掉這間工廠 When the whistle blows the gates will finally close 他們要把它拆掉 Tonight they're going to shut this factory down 我從沒少上一天班或者為了漲薪去罷工 Then they'll tear it down 我盡我所能為他們服務了20年 I never missed a day nor went on strike for better pay 握個手遞張支票 For 20 years I served them best I could 甘苦與共的忠誠就都會被忘掉 With a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget 老闆說他也不想要事情變得這般糟 Loyalty through the bad times and the good 可這個行業才不會讓他當傻帽 The owner says he's sad to see that things have got so bad 他還開著車抽著一支雪茄 But the Captains of industry won't let him loose 帶著他們一家去遊輪上玩耍 He still drives a car and smokes a cigar 他才不會輸 And still he takes his family on a cruise 這事對我真是諷刺又殘酷 He'll never lose 他比過去還要富有 Now it seems to me to be such a cruel irony 我的支票已經花光房租也交不起 He's richer now ever he was before 法律對富人和窮人來講根本不是一套 Now my cheque is all spent and I can't afford the rent 每一天我嘗試將自己的尊嚴救贖 There's one law for the rich, one for the poor 去找工作好掙錢養家 Every day I've tried to salvage some of my pride 但是不管去哪答案都是否 To find some work so's I might pay my way 今天這裡沒有工作 But everywhere I go, the answer is always no 今天沒有工作 There's no work for anyone here today 我站在那被呵斥就像個普通人那樣 No work today 就像旁邊隊里站的那上千人那樣 And so condemned I stand, just an ordinary man 我看著我親愛的妻子努力地想過好生活 Like thousands beside me in the queue 天知道這些孩子們該什麼辦 I watch my darlin' wife tryin' to make the best of life 現在我們面臨著的是對人的浪費 God knows what the kids are goin' to do 一代人被拋棄了 Now that we are faced with this human waste 不管我活多長我永不會原諒 A generation cast aside 你脫去了我的尊嚴和榮光 For as long as I live, I never will forgive 你把我脫得精光 You 've stripped me of my dignity & pride You've stripped me bare
