Workingman’s Blues #2

Workingman's Blues #2 - Bob Dylan

There's an evenin' haze settlin' over town

傍晚的城镇，含烟笼雾

Starlight by the edge of the creek

溪流边星光闪烁

The buyin' power of the proletariat's gone down

普罗大众越来越无力购买

Money's gettin' shallow and weak

Well the place I love best is a sweet memory

It's a new path that we trod

They say low wages are a reality

My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf

Come sit down on my knee

You are dearer to me than myself

As you yourself can see

While I'm listening to the steel rails hum

Got both eyes tight shut

Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from

Creeping it's way into my gut

Meet me at the bottom don't lag behind

Bring me my boots and shoes

You can hang back or fight your best on the front line

你可以选择畏缩不前，也可以选择尽其在我，冲锋陷阵

Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

Ready for the long haul

I'll drag 'em all down to hell

I'll sell 'em to their enemies

Gonna sleep off the rest of the day
