Adios Hermanos - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)[00:00:00]
It was the morning of October 6th 1960[00:00:35]
I was wearing my brown suit[00:00:38]
Preparing to leave the house of D[00:00:40]
Shook some hands then adios Brooklyn amigos[00:00:43]
Maybe some of them had hopes of seeing me again[00:00:51]
Some even said that my judge Judge Gerald Culkin[00:00:54]
Wouldn't play it by the book[00:00:59]
Maybe let us off the hook[00:01:01]
But woh oo woh I knew better[00:01:03]
Afraid to leave the projects[00:01:08]
To cross into another neighborhood[00:01:13]
The blancos and the nigger gangs[00:01:16]
Well they'd kill you if they could[00:01:20]
Angel of Mercy people are suffering[00:01:25]
All over the world[00:01:29]
Spanish children are taught[00:01:35]
On their knees to believe[00:01:40]
Angel of Mercy people are suffering[00:01:44]
All over the island tonight[00:01:47]
Mothers weep[00:01:54]
Sisters grieve[00:01:58]
Well I entered the courtroom State Of New York[00:02:03]
County of New York just some spic[00:02:05]
They scrubbed off the sidewalk[00:02:08]
Guilty by my dress guilty in the press[00:02:12]
Let The Capeman burn for the murder[00:02:15]
Well the "Spanish boys" had their day in court[00:02:20]
And now it was time for some f**kin' law and order[00:02:23]
The electric chair for the greasy pair[00:02:28]
Said the judge to the court reporter[00:02:32]
Afraid to leave the projects[00:02:37]
To cross into another neighborhood[00:02:42]
The newspapers and the T V crews[00:02:46]
Well they'd kill you if they could[00:02:49]
Angel of Mercy people are suffering[00:02:55]
All over the world[00:02:58]
A Spanish boy could be killed[00:03:05]
Every night of the week[00:03:09]
But just let some white boy die[00:03:13]
And the world goes crazy[00:03:15]
For blood Latin blood[00:03:17]
I don't lie when I speak[00:03:24]
Well they shackled my hands[00:03:32]
A heavy belt around my waist to restrain me[00:03:42]
And they shackled my legs[00:03:50]
Hernandez the "Umbrella Man " chained beside me[00:03:59]
Then we rode that Black Maria[00:04:07]
Through the streets of Spanish Harlem[00:04:11]
Calling old friends on the corners[00:04:15]
Just to lay our prayers upon them[00:04:19]
Crying adios Hermanos Adios[00:04:23]
Adios Hermanos Adios[00:04:33]
