In my little town 在我的小城镇

I grew up believing 我从小就相信

God keeps His eye on us all 上帝让他的眼睛对我们所有人

And He used to lean upon me 他用在我身上瘦

As I pledged allegiance to the wall 当我宣誓效忠墙

Lord I recall 主啊，我记得

My little town 我的小城镇

   

Coming home after school 即将放学后回家

Flying my bike past the gates 我的飞行自行车越过门

Of the factories 该工厂

My mom doing the laundry 我妈妈在洗衣服

Hanging our shirts 挂我们的衬衫

In the dirty breeze 在肮脏的微风

   

And after it rains 而且下雨后

There's a rainbow 有一道彩虹

And all of the colors are black 与所有的颜色是黑色的

It's not that the colors aren't there 这并不是说颜色是不存在

It's just imagination they lack 这只是他们缺乏想象力

Everything's the same 一切都一样

Back in my little town 回到我的小城镇

   

In my little town 在我的小城镇

I never meant nothin' 我从未想过没什么

I was Just my father's son 我只是我父亲的儿子

Saving my money 救了我的钱

Dreaming of glory 做梦荣耀

Twitching like a finger 抽搐像手指

On the trigger of a gun 对枪的扳机

Leaving nothing but the dead and dying 只留下了死亡和垂死的

Back in my little town 回到我的小城镇
