Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city, 昨天晚上，我去了底特律城睡觉，

And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home, 我梦见那些棉田和家庭，

I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother, 我梦见我妈妈，亲爱的爸爸，妹妹和弟弟，

And I dreamed about that girl, who's been waitin' for so long 我梦见了那个女孩，谁是被在等了这么久

   

I want to go home, I want to go home, 我要回家，我要回家，

Oh Lord, I want to go home 哦，上帝，我想回家

   

Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city, 家里人认为我是在大底特律市，

From the letters that I write they think I'm fine, 从我写的，他们认为我很好的信件，

But by day I make the cars, and by night I make the bars, 但是，那天我做的车，晚上我做了吧，

If only they could read between the lines 只要他们能在字里行间

Oh Lord, I want to go home 哦，上帝，我想回家

   

You know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit city, 你知道，我骑着一列货运火车北至底特律市，

And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time, 而这些年来，我觉得我一直在浪费我的时间后，

So I think I'll take my foolish pride, put it on a southbound freight and ride, 所以我想我会带我的愚蠢的骄傲，把它放在南行货运和乘坐，

Go on back to the ones I left, who've been waitin' for so long 继续回到那些我留在，谁一直在等待着了这么久

   

I want to go home, I want to go home, 我要回家，我要回家，

Oh Lord, I want to go home. 主啊，我要回家。
