Hard Times In New York Town --Bob Dylan

Come you ladies and you gentlemen a-listen to my song

Sing it to you right but you might think its wrong
我唱得正确 但你认为它是错的
Just a little glimpse of a story Ill tell

Bout an east coast city that you all know well

Its hard times in the city
这会很痛苦


Livin down in new york town

Old new york city is a friendly old town

From washington heights to harlem on down

Theres a-mighty many people all millin all around
很多威猛的人在各处制粉
Theyll kick you when youre up and knock you when youre down
当你荣耀时他们踢你 当你潦倒时他们敲你
Its hard times in the city

Livin down in new york town
在纽约城市居住


Its a mighty long ways from the golden gate

To rockefeller plaza n the empire state
有很长的距离
Mister rockefeller sets up as high as a bird
rockefeller先生把大厦建造得很高
Old mister empire never says a word

Its hard times from the country

Livin down in new york town
在纽约城市居住
Well its up in the mornin tryin to fins a job of work

Stand in one place till your feet begin to hurt
站在一个地方直到你脚开始疼
If you go a lot o money you can make yourself merry

If you only got a nickel its the staten island ferry

And its hard times in the city

Livin down in new york town



Mister hudson come a-sailin down the stream

And old mister minuet paid for his dream

Bought your city on a one-way track

F I had my way Id sell it right back

And its hard times in the city
城市生活很痛苦
Livin down in new york town

Ill take all the smog in cal-i-for-ne-ay

N every bit of dust in the oklahoma plains
俄克拉荷马州平原的每粒尘土
N the dirt in the caves of the rocky mountain mines

Its all much cleaner than the new york kind
那样它会比纽约更干净
And its hard times in the city

Livin down in new york town
在纽约城市居住
So all you newsy people spread the news around
所以多新闻的人们 到处传播新闻
You cn listen to m story listen to m song
你可以听我的故事 听我的歌
You cn step on my name you cn try n get me beat
你可以践踏我的名字 你可以打我
When I leave new york Ill be standin on my feet
当我离开纽约 我会独立站起来
And its hard times in the city

Livin down in new york town
在纽约城市居住
