I pity the poor immigrant 我可怜的贫穷移民

Who uses all his power to do evil 谁在使用他的力量做坏事

But in the end is always left so alone 但最终总是留下孤单

That man whom with his fingers cheats 那个男子也是用他的手指秘籍

And who lies with ev'ry breath 又是谁在于内心的每一次​​呼吸

Who passionately hates his life 谁动情地恨他的生命

And likewise fears his death. 同样地担心他的死亡。

   

I pity the poor immigrant 我可怜的贫穷移民

Whose strength is spent in vain 其强度枉

Whose heaven is like Ironsides 谁的天堂就像是Ironsides

Whose tears are like rain 谁的眼泪如雨

Who eats but is not satisfied 谁吃，但不满意

Who hears but does not see 谁听到，但没有看到

Who falls in love with wealth itself 谁在爱与落在自己的财富

And turns his back on me. 并把他背对着我。

   

I pity the poor immigrant 我可怜的贫穷移民

Who tramples through the mud 谁穿过泥泞践踏

Who fills his mouth with laughing 谁填补他的嘴笑

And who builds his town with blood 和谁建立了镇有血

Whose visions in the final end 其愿景的最终目的

Must shatter like the glass 必须粉碎状的玻璃

I pity the poor immigrant 我可怜的贫穷移民

When his gladness comes to pass. 当他的喜乐来通过。
