I was born on this mountain a long time ago 我在很久以前出生在这山上

Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal 在他们撞倒木材和带开采的煤

When you rose in the mornin' before it was light 当玫瑰在清晨之前，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 keeps me from worry and woe 她拥有了我，使我不再忧虑，荣辱与共

Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone 那么，他们夺走了一切，她给了，现在他们走了

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 one night I lay down and woke up to find 直到有一天晚上我躺下，醒来时发现

That my childhood was over and I went down in the mine 我的童年结束了，我在矿上下楼

   

There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep 有在此山中有一个洞，这是黑暗的，它的深

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

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
