It got so hot, last night, I swear 它得到这么热，昨天晚上，我发誓

You couldn't hardly breathe 你不能几乎不能呼吸

Heat lightning burnt the sky like alcohol 热火闪电像烧酒精的天空

I sat on the porch without my shoes 我坐在门廊上没有我的鞋

And I watched the cars roll by 我看着车被卷

As the headlights raced 由于比赛前大灯

To the corner of the kitchen wall. 厨房墙角。

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Mama dear 亲爱的妈妈

Your boy is here 你的孩子在这里

Far across the sea 远在海

Waiting for 等待

That sacred core 那神圣的核心

That burns inside of me 那燃烧在我心里

And I feel a storm 而且我觉得风暴

All wet and warm 所有的暖湿

Not ten miles away 不是十英里远

Approaching 临近

My Mexican home. 我的墨西哥的家。

   

My God! I cried, it's so hot inside 我的上帝！我哭了，这是这么热内

You could die in the living room 你可能会死在客厅

Take the fan from the window 以风扇从窗口

Prop the door back with a broom 托门后面用扫帚

The cuckoo clock has died of shock 布谷鸟时钟休克死亡

And the windows feel no pane 和Windows觉得没窗格

The air's as still 空气中的静止

As the throttle on a funeral train. 作为一个葬礼火车油门。

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

My father died on the porch outside 我的父亲在门廊外死亡

On an August afternoon 在一个八月的下午

I sipped bourbon and cried í喝着威士忌，哭了

With a friend by the light of the moon 与朋友的月光

So its hurry! hurry! Step right up 因此，它着急！快点！步权利

It's a matter of life or death 这是生死攸关的事

The sun is going down 太阳正在下降

And the moon is just holding its breath. 和月亮只是屏住了呼吸。

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
