I left my home, my family by the ocean 我离开了我的家，我的家人在大洋

Out on my own, to seek my fortune, 自己出去，寻求我的财产，

There's no work to occupy these young hands 有没有工作占据这些年轻的手

So look out boy! Your heading for the mainland! 所以看出来的孩子！你往大陆！

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

   

And what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothing 而且你会怎么做？不能让任何无中生有

Everybody needs a start 每个人都需要一个开始

And what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothing 而且你会怎么做？不能让任何无中生有

Give my country back its heart 给我的国进民退的心脏

   

Now I was born on a St. John's street 现在，我出生在圣约翰街

Where all my hopes could meet with defeat 凡我所有的希望能与败满足

I hired my days to higher education 我雇了我的日子高等教育

No I'm so smart I could rule this comdenation 不，我很聪明，我可以统治这个comdenation

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

No I'm alone but I'm working everyday 不，我是孤独的，但我每天都工作

I'm getting stoned and blowing all my pay 我越来越砸死吹我所有的工资

Just to survive I'll do whatever I can 只是为了生存，我会尽我所能

No I'm alive, but I cannot be a real man 不，我还活着，但我不能成为一个真正的男人

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
