I was born on this mountain a long long time ago 我是很久很久以前出生在这山上

Before they knocked down the timber and stripped mined all the coal 在他们撞倒木材和汽提，开采的煤

When you rose up in the morning before it was light 当你在早晨起来之前，它是光

To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night 往下走在黑暗的洞，然后回来了，晚上

I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home 我出生在这山上，此山是我的家

She holds me and she keeps me from a worry and a woe 她拥有我，她让我从一忧和愁楚

Well they took everything she gave, she gave it now she's gone 那么，他们夺走了一切，她给了，她给了现在她已经走了

But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home 不过，我会死在这山上，此山是我的家

   

I was young on this mountain but now I am old 我年轻的时候在这座山上，但现在我老了

And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole 我知道每一个叫喊，每一个凉爽泳装“孔

Til a one night I lay down and I woke up to find 直到一个晚上我躺下，我醒来时发现

That my childhood was over I went back down in the mine 我的童年是在我回去倒在矿井

   

There's a hole in this mountain it's dark and it's deep 有在此山中，它的黑暗了一个洞，它的深

And God only knows all the secrets that it keeps 而只有上帝知道一切，它保持秘密

There's a chill in the air only miners can feel 还有的在空气中的寒意只有矿工能感受到

There're ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed 还有是在公司盖章隧道鬼
