It was ninety miles to freedom but they took the risk 这是九十公里的自由，但他们承担了风险

Though the ocean was all motion and the wind was brisk 虽然海洋是所有运动风沙茶

The deadly gunboats never saw them in the pale moonlight 致命的炮舰从来没有看见他们在苍白的月光下

They were off to Cayo Hueso by the dawns early light 他们关到圣基茨Hueso由黎明初光

The gringo in the garden called the customs man 在花园里的外国佬叫关人

They answered all his questions, were allowed to land 他们回答所有的问题，被允许降落

The ladies shared a hairbrush and their husbands had a coke 女士们共享发刷和丈夫有一个焦

Then they were taken up to Krome to meet with their kin folk 然后，他们被带到了克罗梅，以满足他们的亲属民俗

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Everybody's got a cousin in Miami 每个人都有在迈阿密的表弟

Everybody understands the impromptu 每个人都明白的即兴

Dancing in the heat to the beat 在热舞动的节奏

That turns your clothing clammy 那把你的衣服湿冷

Everybody needs to have a dream come true 每个人都需要有一个梦想成真

   

In a third world jungle not so far away 在第三个弱肉强食的世界没有那么远

Lives a natural drummer with a dream to play 生活中的自然鼓手同一个梦想玩

He's the brother of the lizard and the flying fish 他是蜥蜴的哥哥和飞鱼

But he's been enchanted by the pictures 但他一直着迷的照片

From the satellite dish 从卫星天线

So his mama packs his bags, knots his red neck tie 所以他妈妈包他的行李，绳结他的红领带

Sends him north to her relations with a kiss good-bye 送他北至她的关系用一个吻再见

He's bewildered by the plane ride and the immigration line 他迷惑了乘坐飞机和入境线

Until he sees his Christian name upon a cardboard sign 直到他看到在一个纸板标志他的教名

   

Everybody's got a cousin in Miami 每个人都有在迈阿密的表弟

Everybody is an Aborigine 每个人都是一个原住民

Dancing in the heat to the beat 在热舞动的节奏

That turns your clothing clammy 那把你的衣服湿冷

Everybody wants to win that lottery 每个人都想赢得彩票

   

It's hard to believe the city started as a trading post 很难相信，这个城市开始作为一个贸易站

Home to the Seminole, pirate and pioneer 家里的塞米诺尔，海盗和先锋

Between the river of grass and the old mosquito coast 草河和老蚊子海岸之间

Before the railroad claimed the southernmost frontier 在铁路声称最南端的边境

   

I am umbilically connected to the temperate zone 我umbilically连接到温带

It brought me life, it brought me love 它给我带来的生活，它给我的爱

I never have outgrown 我从来没有超越

It brought me one too many nights along that Biscayne shore 它给我带来了太多了晚上沿着比斯坎湾岸

And one too many mornings in the Grove Drug Store 和太多了早晨的树丛药店

In one way or the other we're all refugees 在一个这样或那样的，我们都是难民

Living out this easy life below the banyan trees 活出这种轻松的生活榕树下面

Smoothing off the rougher edges of the culture clash 平滑掉了文化冲突的边边角角

We got a style, we got a look 我们得到了一种风格，我们得到了一看

We got that old panache 我们得到了老派头
