The Death Of Emmett Till (提尔之死) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]

//[00:00:13]

I was down in Mississippi no so long ago [00:00:13]

在不久前的密西西比[00:00:23]

When a young boy from Chicago town stepped through a Southern door [00:00:23]

一个来自芝加哥镇的年轻男孩 迈进了南方的大门[00:00:32]

This boy's dreadful tragedy I can still remember well [00:00:32]

这个男孩命定的悲剧 你们都应铭记在心[00:00:40]

The color of his skin was black and his name was Emmett Till [00:00:40]

他的肤色是黑色的 他的名字叫做埃米提尔[00:00:49]

Some men they dragged him to a barn and there they beat him up [00:00:49]

几个男人把他拖进了谷仓 在那里殴打他[00:00:58]

They said they had a reason but I can't remember what [00:00:58]

他们自称有理有据 但我就是想不起来[00:01:07]

They tortured him and did some evil things too evil to repeat [00:01:07]

他们折磨他并做的那些事 过于邪恶而让人不忍复述[00:01:16]

There was screaming sounds inside the barn there was laughing sounds out on the street [00:01:16]

在谷仓里是一声声哀嚎 外面的街道上却是一阵阵欢笑[00:01:25]

Then they rolled his body down a gulf amidst a bloody red rain[00:01:25]

之后他们将他的尸体捆于河岸之下 在腥红血雨之中[00:01:34]

And they threw him in the waters wide to cease his screaming pain [00:01:34]

他们把他远远抛入水里 以此来结束他哀嚎之苦[00:01:43]

The reason that they killed him there and I'm sure it ain't no lie [00:01:43]

至于他们在那杀害他的原因 我很确定 这不是谎言[00:01:51]

Was just for the fun of killin' him and to watch him slowly die [00:01:51]

只是因为他们发现自己杀了他 然后看着他缓缓死去[00:02:00]

And then to stop the United States of yelling for a trial [00:02:00]

紧接着 为了阻止美国对审判的抗议[00:02:09]

Two brothers they confessed that they had killed poor Emmett Till [00:02:09]

两兄弟供认不讳 就是他们俩杀害了可怜的埃米提尔[00:02:17]

But on the jury there were men who helped the brothers commit this awful crime [00:02:17]

但在陪审团中有那么些人 曾协助这两兄弟一同犯罪[00:02:27]

And so this trial was a mockery but nobody seemed to mind [00:02:27]

因此这场审判无疑是一种嘲讽 但似乎没有人注意到这一点[00:02:36]

I saw the morning papers but I could not bear to see[00:02:36]

我看了晨报 但我非常痛恨[00:02:45]

The smiling brothers walkin' down the courthouse stairs [00:02:45]

痛恨看到欢欣微笑的那兄弟俩 他们走下法院的台阶[00:02:53]

For the jury found them innocent and the brothers they went free [00:02:53]

因为陪审团判决他俩无罪 这两兄弟得到了释放[00:03:02]

While Emmett's body floats the foam of a Jim Crow southern sea [00:03:02]

而此时埃米提尔的尸体冒出了泡沫 在黑人专用的南方大海上漂浮[00:03:11]

If you can't speak out against this kind of thing a crime that's so unjust [00:03:11]

如果你们不能大声抗议这种事 不能抗议这场不公正的邪恶罪行[00:03:19]

Your eyes are filled with dead men's dirt your mind is filled with dust [00:03:19]

那你们的双眼定是被亡灵的污秽所蒙蔽 你们的双耳定是塞满了尘土[00:03:28]

Your arms and legs they must be in shackles and chains and your blood it must refuse to flow [00:03:28]

你们的四肢 定是被镣铐锁链所束缚 你们的血液 一定是停止了流动[00:03:36]

For you let this human race fall down so God-awful low [00:03:36]

因为你们让人类 堕落到了令人憎恶的地步[00:03:45]

This song is just a reminder to remind your fellow man[00:03:45]

这首歌只是一个警示 来警示你们的同胞[00:03:53]

That this kind of thing still lives today in that ghost-robed Ku Klux Klan [00:03:53]

警示此类现象在现今依旧存在 存在于有些党派的白袍之下[00:04:02]

But if all of us folks that thinks alike if we gave all we could give [00:04:02]

但如果所有的人们能够觉醒 如果我们尽己所能地付出全部[00:04:11]

We could make this great land of ours a greater place to live[00:04:11]

我们就能让属于我们的这片伟大土地 成为一个更美好的世界[00:04:16]
