In Cumberland Kentucky 在肯塔基州的坎伯兰

On a cool hot evening 在凉爽的晚上热

Billy lay in love with Marrianne 比利躺在爱上Marrianne

She was a rich judge's daughter 她是一个富有的法官的女儿

He was a son of a miner 他是一名矿工的儿子

But that night their love was more than they could stand 但是那天晚上他们的爱超过了他们可以忍受

The judge said to his daughter 法官对他的女儿说：

That son of that coal miner 该矿工的儿子说

Is someone you'll go hell to leave alone 人是那种你会去地狱独自离开

She knew his dad so well 她知道他的爸爸这么好

She knew she couldn't tell 她知道她不能告诉

But the truth was bound in show before too long 但事实是必然的前戏太长

   

Their love had started growing on its own 他们的爱情就开始了自己的成长

You can't out run the long arm of the law 你不能跑得过法律的长臂

No, you can't out run the long arm of the law 不，你不能跑得过法律的长臂

Billy placed his hand on Mary 比利把他的手放在玛丽

And he felt the baby's moving 他觉得宝宝的运动

Kissed her and said I'll see you when I can 吻了她，说我会的时候，我可以看到你

The judge had made a promise 法官曾作出承诺

When he caught up with Billy 当他赶上了比利

He'd sent him far away from Marianne 他会送他远离玛丽安

The whole town knew he'd do it 全镇知道他会做

Too many times he'd proved it 太多次他已经证明了这一点

To at least a hundred men behind the wall 到至少一百人墙后

   

He'd smiled behind that frown 他就笑着说皱眉的背后

And when he brought that gavel down 而当他带来了法槌下

He called himself the long arm of the law 他称自己对法律的长臂

And he'd set his mind on seeing Billy fall 他想定了主意上看到比利秋天

In a hot humid mine shack 在炎热潮湿的矿山窝棚

A mid-white pulled the sheet back 一个中等白拉了回来板

And placed cool damp towel on Marianne 并放在阴凉潮湿的毛巾上玛丽安

Billy's eyes were wide with wonder 比利的眼睛睁得大大惊奇

From the spell he was under 从咒语，他下

When she placed the new born baby in his hands 当她把新出生的婴儿在他手中

   

He didn't hear the siren 他没听到警笛

Just a baby's crying 只是一个婴儿的哭声

That miracle of love was all he saw 爱的奇迹是他看到的

   

When the door came crashing down 当门轰然倒塌

And Billy turned around 和比利转身

He felt the heart and soul inside him fall 他觉得自己的心脏和灵魂里面他倒下

He stood face to face 他站在面对面

With the long arm of the law 随着法律的长臂

You can't out run the long arm of the law 你不能跑得过法律的长臂

No, you can't out run the long arm of the law 不，你不能跑得过法律的长臂

You can hide out for a while 你可以躲出去一段时间

He says with a smile 他笑着说：

But you can't out run the long arm of the law 但你不能出去跑了法律的长臂

   

Seemed like everybody down in Cumberland Kentucky 似乎每个人都倒在肯塔基州的坎伯兰

Came out that day to see poor Billy's trial 出来的那一天，看看可怜的比利的审判

The court was called to order 法庭被称为命令

There sat the judge's daughter 有坐在法官的女儿

She looked so proud 她看上去是那么自豪

Holding Billy's child 控股比利的孩子

When they brought Billy to him 当他们把比利对他

The judge just look right thru him 法官只是看刚好经过他

As he held that Holy Bible in his hand 他认为，圣经在他手中

And he smiled at his grandson 他微笑着看着他的孙子

Then his eyes cut back to Billy 然后他的眼睛切回比利

And said I think this time 说我觉得这个时候

The law will understand 该法就明白了

Son, I sentence you to live with Marianne 儿子，你一句我一句的生活与玛丽安

   

You can't out run the long arm of the law 你不能跑得过法律的长臂

No, you can't out run the long arm of the law 不，你不能跑得过法律的长臂

He said to Billy with a smile 他给比利笑着说

I know you hide out for a while 我知道你躲出去一段时间

Ah but you can't out run the long arm of the law 啊，但你不能跑出去了法律的长臂

No you can't out run the long arm of the law 不，你不能跑得过法律的长臂
