- Dropkick Murphys Worker’s Song 歌詞
- Dropkick Murphys
- Yeh, this ones for the workers who toil night and day
這首歌獻給日夜辛勞的工人
By hand and by brain to earn your pay
送給用雙手和頭腦創造價值的工人
Who for centuries long past for no more than your bread
工人們千年來吃的不過是麵包
Have bled for your countries and counted your dead
同時為你們的國家流血又喪命
In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines
在工廠和磨坊裡在船塢和礦井裡
Weve often been told to keep up with the times
我們被要求緊緊跟上時代
For our skills are not needed, theyve streamlined the job
我們的技能隨時會被拋棄被流水線替代
And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed
算尺和秒錶奪去了我們的驕傲
Were the first ones to starve, were the first ones to die
我們是第一批挨餓的是第一批送死的
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the -sky
是第一批為了空頭支票前往最前線的
And were always the last when the cream is shared out
但到了分蛋糕的時候我們又總是在最後
For the worker is working when the fat cats about
因為工人在工作的時候大腹便便的人正在閒逛！
And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war
當山雨欲來戰爭將至
Whos given a gun and then pushed to the fore
是誰被塞上一支步槍、推往前線？
And expected to die for the land of our birth
還被指望著為我們生長的土地捐軀
Though weve never owned one lousy handful of earth?
哪怕這片土地沒有一抔土屬於我們？
Were the first ones to starve, were the first ones to die
我們是第一批挨餓的是第一批送死的
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
是第一批為了空頭支票前往最前線的
And were always the last when the cream is shared out
但到了分蛋糕的時候我們又總是在最後
For the worker is working when the fat cats about
因為工人在工作的時候大腹便便的人正在閒逛！
Were the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
我們是第一批挨餓的是第一批送死的
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
是第一批為了空頭支票前往最前線的
And were always the last when the cream is shared out
但到了分蛋糕的時候我們又總是在最後
For the worker is working when the fat cats about
因為工人在工作的時候大腹便便的人正在閒逛！
Were the first ones to starve, were the first ones to die
我們是第一批挨餓的是第一批送死的
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
是第一批為了空頭支票前往最前線的
And were always the last when the cream is shared out
但到了分蛋糕的時候我們又總是在最後
For the worker is working when the fat cats about
因為工人在工作的時候大腹便便的人正在閒逛！
All of these things the worker has done
從耕田到扛槍
From tilling the fields to carrying the gun
一切這些事情都是工人們完成的
Weve been yoked to the plough since time first began
我們在時光誕生起就躬耕隴畝
And always expected to carry the can
也注定要永遠負重前行
