Lyrics by：Les Rice
Composed by：Les Rice
I've travelled around this country
我走遍了这个国家
From shore to shining shore
从海岸到美丽的海岸
It really made me wonder
我真的很困惑
The things I heard and saw
我的所见所闻
I saw the weary farmer
我看见疲惫的农夫
A'plowing sod and loam
I heard the auction hammer
我听到了拍卖的声音
Just a'knocking down his home
把他的家推倒
But the banks are made of marble
但堤岸是大理石砌成的
With a guard at every door
每一扇门都有警卫看守
And the bolts are stuffed with silver
螺钉镶满了银色
That the farmer sweated for
农夫费尽心血
I've seen the seaman standing
我看见水手昂首伫立
Proudly by the shore
骄傲地伫立在海边
And I heard their bosses saying
我听到他们的老板说
Got no work for you no more
再也不用为你卖命
But the banks are made of marble
但堤岸是大理石砌成的
With a guard at every door
每一扇门都有警卫看守
And the bolts are stuffed with silver
螺钉镶满了银色
That the seaman sweated for
水手为之费尽心血
I've seen the weary miner
我见过疲惫的矿工
Scrubbing coal dust from his back
拂去他背上的煤灰
And I've heard his children crying
我听到他孩子的哭声
Got no coal to heat the shack
我的小木屋没有煤可以取暖
But the banks are made of marble
但堤岸是大理石砌成的
With a guard at every door
每一扇门都有警卫看守
And the bolts are stuffed with silver
螺钉镶满了银色
That the miner sweated for
矿工为之费尽心血
I've seen my brothers working
我看见我的兄弟们奋力拼搏
Throughout this mighty land
在这辽阔的土地上
I've prayed we'd get together
我一直希望我们能在一起
And together make a stand
一起表明立场
Than we might own those banks of marble
比我们拥有那些大理石银行还要多
With a guard at every door
每一扇门都有警卫看守
And we would share those bolts of silver
我们会分享这些金银珠宝
That we have sweated for
我们为之付出心血
