Last night I heard the screaming 昨天晚上，我听到了尖叫

Loud voices behind the wall 墙后面大声的声音

Another sleepless night for me 另一个不眠之夜我

It won't do no good to call 它不会做没有好处调用

The police Always come late 警察总是迟到

If they come at all 如果他们在所有

   

And when they arrive 当他们到达

They say they can't interfere 他们说，他们不能干涉

With domestic affairs 随着国内事务

Between a man and his wife 之间的男人和他的妻子

And as they walk out the door 当他们走出大门

The tears well up in her eyes 泪水涌上她的眼睛

   

Last night I heard the screaming 昨天晚上，我听到了尖叫

Then a silence that chilled my soul 然后是沉默冻僵了我的灵魂

I prayed that I was dreaming 我祈祷，我是在做梦

When I saw the ambulance in the road 当我看到救护车在路上

And the policeman said 警察说：

"I'm here to keep the peace “我在这里维持和平

Will the crowd disperse 将人群驱散

I think we all clould use some sleep" 我想大家都clould使用一些休眠“
