when the levee breaks (alternate UK mix in progress)
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
如果大雨滂沱一直下,堤壩就會崩潰決口
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
如果大雨滂沱一直下,堤壩就會崩潰決口
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
當堤壩決口的時候,我將流離失所
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
老舊殘破的堤壩,教會我聲淚俱下、悲天憫人
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
主啊!老舊殘破的堤壩,教會我聲淚俱下、悲天憫人
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
洪水氾濫成災,山民背井離鄉
Oh, well, oh, well, oh , well.
不要讓自已悲傷憔悴
Don't it make you feel bad
當你要找尋回家的路
When you're tryin' to find your way home ,
你卻不知道去往何處
You don't know which way to go?
倘若你要去往南方
If you're goin' down South
如果不知道芝加哥怎麼走
They go no work to do,
就會沒有工作,維持生計
If you don't know about Chicago.
哭泣對你徒勞無用,祈禱也無濟於事
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
當下,哭泣對你徒勞無用,祈禱也無濟於事
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won' t do you no good,
當堤壩崩潰決口的時候,媽媽,你不得不離別故土
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
昨晚坐在堤壩上悲痛了一整夜
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
昨晚坐在堤壩上悲痛了一整夜
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
思念著我、孩子和我的幸福家庭
Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home.
走吧,去往芝加哥
Going, go'n' to Chicago,
去往芝加哥
Go 'n' to Chicago,
對不起,我不能帶上你
Sorry but I can't take you.
走吧,現在離去,離去......
Going down, going down now, going down.
