Sleeping at night in a plaster board box 晚上在石膏板箱睡觉

Scratching the earth with the nails on my fingers 搔抓地球上我的手指指甲

And the ground pukes up rocks and rocks and more rocks 与地面pukes石头，岩石和石块

And when the seeds finally reach the ground 当种子终于到达地面

It's all been for nothing 这一切都被白白

   

I hear the cries of children at night 我听到孩子在晚上的哭声

I watch their faces grow sallow with hunger 我看他们的脸蜡黄的成长与饥饿

Who draws the line between what's wrong and right 谁画的什么是错的，右行

And when I ask my life is for 而当我问我的生活是

It's all been for nothing 这一切都被白白

   

Save your regrets for the dead, but for the living 保存您的遗憾死去，但对于生活

Give them love and give them bread 给他们爱，给他们面包

One more hungry mouth to be fed 还有一个饥饿的嘴里喂

Remember the living 请记住生活

Give them love, give them bread 给他们爱，给他们面包

   

Standing in the light of the kitchen screen door 站在厨房纱门的光

Like some kind of untouchable stuck in calcutta 像某种碰不得停留在加尔各答

I almost forget what I'm standing here for 我几乎忘了我站在这里

And I don't know what to do but I know 我不知道该怎么办，但我知道

I won't leave with nothing 我不会留下什么

   

Where are the days when life was carefree 在哪里时，生活是无忧无虑的日子

Why must I suffer this, what was my crime 为什么我必须忍受这一点，什么是我的罪

Begging or thievery, which shall it be 乞讨或偷窃，它应

Is there no other choice for me 难道就没有别的选择了我

I can't live with nothing 我不能忍受什么

   

Justice only comes to the dead 法官只涉及到死

And when they ask me what life is for 当他们问我是什么样的生活

I must give them something 我必须给他们一些
