小岛现在一片岑寂 [00:19.54]The island it is silent now
但海浪旁仍有幽魂萦绕 [00:23.00]But the ghosts still haunt the waves
火炬的光照亮了那个可怜的人 [00:26.43]And the torch lights up a famished man
饥肠辘辘 财富无存 [00:30.63]Who fortune could not save [00:33.51]
你是铁路上卖力的工人？ [00:34.13]Did you work upon the railroad
你是街头清除罪犯的军人？ [00:37.69]Did you rid the streets of crime
你的钱是白宫给的？ [00:41.57]Were your dollars from the white house
还是杂货店里挣的？ [00:45.20]Were they from the five and dime
那些老歌让你觉得讽刺还是欣慰？ [00:48.63]Did the old songs taunt or cheer you
它们是否仍能让你哭泣？ [00:52.88]And did they still make you cry
你是否难以忘怀度日如年 [00:56.26]Did you count the months and years
抑或泪水很快风干 [00:59.45]Or did your teardrops quickly dry
不 他说 我上船启程来这儿时 [01:03.23]Ah no says he 'twas not to be
它还不是一条棺材船 [01:06.93]On a coffin ship I came here
并且我也从没到那个地步 [01:10.49]And I never even got so far
以至于他们可以随便改了我的名字 [01:14.24]That they could change my name
万人航行 [01:17.49]Thousands are sailing
横渡大西洋 [01:21.76]Across the western ocean
来到机遇的土地 [01:24.96]To a land of opportunity
他们中有人从不曾见 [01:28.63]That some of them will never see
盛行的财富 [01:32.14]Fortune prevailing
在大洋彼岸 [01:35.71]Across the western ocean
他们肚子虽空 [01:39.34]Their bellies full
但精神飞扬 [01:41.98]Their spirits free
他们立志要拧断贫穷的锁链 [01:42.49]They'll break the chains of poverty
于是他们起舞 昂扬 [01:46.04]And they'll dance [01:50.11]
在曼哈顿沙漠的黄昏里 [01:56.73]In Manhattan's desert twilight
在午后的死寂中 [02:00.35]In the death of afternoon
我们手拉手踏行于百老汇 [02:04.11]We stepped hand in hand on Broadway
气魄犹如登月第一人 [02:07.79]Like the first man on the moon
忽然 The Blackbird 的乐声划破沉寂 [02:11.30]And "The Blackbird" broke the silence
你甜美地跟着哼唱 [02:15.18]As you whistled it so sweet
走在布兰登贝汉的足迹里 [02:18.80]And in Brendan Behan's footsteps
我不禁在街上跳来舞去 [02:22.39]I danced up and down the street
然后我们向百老汇道别晚安 [02:26.07]Then we said goodnight to Broadway
致以我们极致的敬意 [02:29.63]Giving it our best regards
我们向Cohan先生脱帽致礼 [02:33.20]Tipped our hats to Mister Cohen
那位亲爱的老时代广场最喜爱的诗人 [02:36.63]Dear old Times Square's favorite bard
然后我们举杯向J.F.K. [02:40.26]Then we raised a glass to JFK
还有很多很多人 [02:44.07]And a dozen more besides
当我回到我空荡的房间 [02:47.38]When I got back to my empty room
我想我肯定是哭了 [02:51.13]I suppose I must have cried
万人航行 [02:54.42]Thousands are sailing
再一次地穿越大海 [02:58.49]Again across the ocean
在那里 机遇之手 [03:01.93]Where the hand of opportunity
抓取运气彩票 [03:05.32]Draws tickets in a lottery
我们寄出的明信片 [03:08.82]Postcards we're mailing
有关天蓝色的天空和海洋 [03:12.26]Of sky-blue skies and oceans
来自那不见日光的房间 [03:15.94]From rooms the daylight never sees
在那里圣诞树也不会泛出光亮 [03:19.57]Where lights don't glow on Christmas trees
但是我们仍然随音乐起舞 [03:23.33]But we dance to the music
我们跳舞 [03:24.44]And we dance [03:25.70]
万人航行 [03:58.45]Thousands are sailing
穿越大西洋 [04:01.46]Across the western ocean
在那里 机遇之手 [04:04.89]Where the hand of opportunity
抓取运气彩票 [04:07.15]Draws tickets in a lottery
无论走在何方 我们都赞美高歌 [04:11.71]Where e'er we go we celebrate
这片让我们成为难民的土地 [04:15.30]The land that makes us refugees
远离了手持空盘子的祭司的恐怖 [04:18.58]From fear of Priests with empty plates
远离了罪行和哭泣的肖像 [04:22.33]From guilt and weeping effigies
我们起舞 [04:25.64]And we dance
