歌词

In the spring of 47

故事的发生

So the story it is told

要从1847年的春天说起

Old John Sutter went to the mill site

老约翰.萨特在磨坊外

Found a piece of shinin' gold

拾到一块金子

Well he took it to the city

于是带着它去了城里

Where the word like wildfire spread

在那里关于金矿的消息，如野火蔓延开来

And old John Sutter soon came to wish he'd

萨特很快就后悔

Left that stone in the river bed

该把那块石头留在河床上

For they came like herds of locusts

人们集聚如蝗

Every woman child and man

In their lumberin' Conestogas

男人、女人和孩子们

在大篷车笨重的前行中

They left their tracks upon the land

将车辙留在原野上

Some would fail and some would prosper

有人无功而返，有人心遂所愿

Some would die and some would kill

有人长眠异乡，有人图财害命

Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance

And some would curse John Sutter's Mill

有人将感激上帝解脱了他们

有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房

Well they came from New York City

他们有的来自纽约城

And they came from Alabama

有的来自阿拉巴马州

With their dreams of findin' fortunes

带着他们的发财梦

In this wild unsettled land

来到这荒蛮的土地上

Well some fell prey to hostile arrows

As they tried to cross the plains

一些人在穿越平原时

命丧箭下

And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains

一些人失踪在洛基山脉

With their hands froze to the reins

冻饿而亡

Oh some would fail and some would prosper

噢，有人无功而返，有人心遂所愿

Some would die and some would kill

Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance

有人长眠异乡，有人图财害命

有人将感激上帝解脱了他们

And some would curse John Sutter's Mill

有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房

Well some pushed on to California

一些人执著前行去往加州

And others stopped to take their rest

一些人驻足不往休养生息

And by the Spring of 1860

1860年时

They had opened up the West

他们开发了西部

And then the railroad came behind them

铁路随后而至

And the land was plowed and tamed

荒原终被开发和征服

When old John Sutter went to meet his maker

当约翰萨特离开人世

He'd not one penny to his name

自己却一文不名

Oh some would fail and some would prosper

Some would die and some would kill

有人无功而返，有人心遂所愿

有人长眠异乡，有人图财害命

Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance

有人将感激上帝解脱了他们

And some would curse John Sutter's Mill

有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房

And some would curse John Sutter's Mill

有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房

Some men's thirsts are never filled

有人的欲望却永远无法满足
