跪求音乐界人士为国内农村留守儿童谱写一首像猫王的《In The Ghetto》的怨曲

redyjw888

《IN THE GHETTO》---在盖投（芝加哥有名的贫民窟）
Elvis Presley---猫王   
阿江译

“在百度上看到尽是篡改歌词原意或电子字典代劳的译本，让我感到气愤，于是提笔自译这首唱社会现实的名歌（不像歌，是在讲一个悲惨故事）。原想用词更直白平叙，但发现很难，不得已加了一些形容词。”


As the snow flies on a cold and gray Chicago morning
在芝加哥某个阴冷的早晨,雪花飘零
A poor little baby child is born in the Ghetto
一个可怜的（男）婴诞生在“盖投”
And his mama cries 'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
他妈妈哭了，因为如果这里有一样她最不需要的东西
It's another hungry mouth to feed in the Ghetto
那就是贫民窟里另一张饥饿待哺的嘴

People, don't you understand the child needs a helping hand?
难道人们不知道这孩子需要援手？
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day？
(不知道)他有一天会长成一个充满愤恨的青年？

Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see?
看看你和我，我们是不是瞎了眼（看不见）？
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
(或者)我们根本就是扭头望向它方?

Well the world turns and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
斗转星移，一个流着鼻涕饥饿的小男孩
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the Ghetto
在贫民窟寒风凛冽街道上玩耍

And his hunger burns, so he starts to roam the streets at night
当饥饿难忍，他开始在夜里游荡于街头
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the Ghetto
然后在贫民窟里学会了偷窃与打斗

Then one night in desperation a young man breaks away
最后在某个晚上，这个彻底绝望小伙子脱缰了
He buys a gun, steals a car, tries to run, but he don't get far
他买了一支枪，偷了一辆车，奋力逃脱，但没能跑远
And his mama cries
他妈妈哭了

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
当人群聚拢到这个愤怒年青人的身边
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand in the Ghetto
（他）手捂枪脸朝下横在贫民窟的街道上

As her young man dies on a cold and gray Chicago morning
在（妈妈）她的爱子死去的那个芝加哥阴冷早晨
Another little baby child is born in the Ghetto
另一婴儿降临贫民窟
And his mama cries
他妈妈哭了
