[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Stefan Rovics
[00:09.483] When I came to this country, left Scotland far behind
[00:13.945] Evicted from the highlands, told to go and find
[00:18.708] A new life in America across the Atlantic Sea
[00:23.630] Where I joined the millions of other refugees
[00:27.533] Who ended up at Ellis Island as the century began
[00:32.736] The wretched of the Earth from every foreign land
[00:36.885] When I came to this country, broken and bereft
[00:41.727] I quickly saw I'd have been no worse off if I'd never left
[00:46.676] Such awful deprivations as I'd never had to face
[00:51.183] Borne by Swedes and Russians, Africans and every other race
[00:56.052] Millions of people trying not to end up dead
[01:00.492] From cholera or blacklung or getting clubbed on the head
[01:09.925] When I came to this country, to have something on my fork
[01:13.980] It was obvious the first thing was to get out of New York
[01:18.741] I learned to hop the free trains, some other stiffs and I
[01:23.618] Caught a westbound rattler to give Oregon a try
[01:28.178] Signed up for the logging camps, became a timber beast
[01:32.609] If I'd stayed there any longer I'd have surely been deceased
[01:37.572] When I came to this country, I worked the copper mines in Butte
[01:41.436] I was a gandy dancer in Spokane in a gandy dancer suit
[01:46.678] I heard the Rebel Girl speak one night in a railway yard
[01:51.241] I joined the union right away and got my first red card
[01:56.001] I became a hobo organizer for the One Big Union grand
[02:00.922] Preaching the Wobbly gospel across this starving land
[02:14.884] When I came to this country, I soon enough lost track
[02:19.527] Of the number of times I felt a billy club upon my back
[02:24.077] Or how many times I saw the tents with freezing kids
[02:29.169] Working in the mines instead of living on the skids
[02:33.611] How many times I heard the horrid crying from below
[02:38.079] Of those trapped there in the dungeons with nowhere left to go
[02:43.268] When I came to this country, it was a hopeful time of desperation
[02:47.935] The red flags flew all across the nation
[02:52.282] But when the war began in Europe we refused to die and kill
[02:56.914] We refused to fight a bosses' war and serve the bosses' will
[03:01.705] That's when they got the Legion to burn down our union halls
[03:06.554] All across the land, where there used to be four walls
[03:16.023] When I came to this country, I had no great expectations
[03:20.948] But I didn't think I'd end up back here awaiting deportation
[03:25.091] On a steamship on the Hudson, I watch the sunset fade
[03:30.135] With 20,000 others swept up in the Palmer Raids
[03:35.096] Counting myself lucky that I'm still alive
[03:39.530] Remembering the moment that I first arrived
[03:44.032] When I came to this country
[03:47.032] When I came to this country
[03:50.032] When I came to this country...

[al: Ballad of A Wobbly]
[00:09.483] 当我来到这个国家,离开了苏格兰
[00:13.945] 离开苏格兰高地去追寻
[00:18.708] 大西洋彼岸的新生活
[00:23.630] 在世纪初和千百万难民一起
[00:27.533] 来到了埃利斯岛
[00:32.736] 我们是来自全世界的受苦人
[00:36.885] 当我来到这个国家,一贫如洗
[00:41.727] 我马上发现生活并没有改善
[00:46.676] 我从未遇到过如此困窘的局面
[00:51.183] 不管瑞典人,俄罗斯人,非洲人还是其他种族
[00:56.052] 千百万人从霍乱,尘肺病和暴徒的棍棒
[01:00.492] 挣扎着求生
[01:09.925] 当我来到这个国家,来寻找糊口的方法
[01:13.980] 首先当然要离开纽约城
[01:18.741] 我学会了扒火车还有别的技巧
[01:23.618] 搭上了一列向西的火车,去俄勒冈碰运气
[01:28.178] 在一个营地签约成了伐木工
[01:32.609] 可如果继续待在森林里就活不下去了
[01:37.572] 当我来到这个国家,我在巴特市的铜矿工作
[01:41.436] 我是一个穿着制服的轨道工
[01:46.678] 一天晚上我听到了叛逆女孩在铁道旁的演讲
[01:51.241] 我加入了工会,拿到了红色的会员证
[01:56.001] 我成为了“一个大工会”的流动工作员
[02:00.922] 在这片饥饿的土地上宣传着IWW的纲领
[02:14.884] 当我来到这个国家,我马上迷失了
[02:19.527] 无数次警棍打在我的背上
[02:24.077] 无数次我看见寒冷的帐篷里住着孩子
[02:29.169] 在矿上工作,把轨道车当成家
[02:33.611] 无数次我听见悲惨的哭声
[02:38.079] 来自困在地下室无处可去的人们
[02:43.268] 当我来到这个国家,那是个绝望中希望的时刻
[02:47.935] 红旗处处飘扬在这个国家上空
[02:52.282] 但当欧洲的战争开始了,我们拒绝去杀人和被杀
[02:56.914] 我们拒绝为了老板去打老板们的战争
[03:01.705] 所以他们派军队来烧毁了我们工会的房屋
[03:06.554] 大地上只剩下残垣断壁
[03:16.023] 当我来到这个国家,我没有期待太多
[03:20.948] 但没想到有天会被遣返
[03:25.091] 在哈德逊河的汽船上,我看着黄昏中的落日
[03:30.135] 和帕尔默大搜捕被捕的两万人一起
[03:35.096] 为自己还活着而庆幸
[03:39.530] 回想起我刚来的时候
[03:44.032] 当我来到这个国家
[03:47.032] 当我来到这个国家
[03:50.032] 当我来到这个国家...
