歌曲 | Last, Lonely And Wretched |
歌手 | Joan Baez |
专辑 | Blessed Are... |
作词 : Baez | |
(Words and Music by Joan Baez) | |
You're tired and you're poor, | |
you long to be free, | |
but in this Godforsaken land | |
you find no home, no family | |
on the many roads that you've wandered | |
since the day of your birth. | |
You've become one of the last, | |
lonely and wretched. | |
Your hair is matted, | |
your face and hands are dirty, | |
and the years that you've toiled | |
must number somewhere near thirty. | |
The deepening of a sadness | |
broke finally into madness. | |
You are truly one of the last, | |
lonely and wretched. | |
Your eyes are wild and frightening | |
at the same time they are blessed | |
and I wonder if God died, | |
turned his back or only just rested. | |
And you walked out on the seventh day | |
through the big gates and on your way | |
to become one of the last, | |
lonely and wretched. | |
For once you were a child. | |
Your cheeks were red, | |
you were well fed. | |
You laughed and played | |
till you got teary, | |
ran to your mother | |
when you were weary. | |
But somewhere you were forsaken | |
alone I'll not bear the blame | |
and somehow all was taken, | |
your mind, your body, your name. | |
Forgive us our unkindness, | |
our desertion and our blindness, | |
with you, all the last, | |
lonely and wretched. | |
Forgive us, all the last, | |
lonely and wretched. | |
