He lay his blanket underneath the freeway 他躺在被窝里的高速公路下方

As the evening sky grew dark 随着傍晚的天空渐渐黑

Took a sniff of toncho from his coke can 带着toncho的嗅他一罐可乐

And headed through Balboa Park 并通过巴尔博亚公园为首

Where the men in their Mercedes 当男人在他们的奔驰

Come nightly to employ 来吧夜间雇用

The services of the border boys 边境男孩的服务

   

He grew up near the Zona Norte 他从小附近的Zona北

With the hustlers and smugglers he hung out with 随着混混和走私者，他挂出了

He swallowed their balloons of cocaine 他吞下可卡因的气球

Brought 'em across to the Twelfth Street strip 带来了时间跨越到第十二条街

Sleeping in a shelter 睡在庇护所

If the night got too cold 如果晚上得了太冷

Runnin' from the migra 天边的migra

Of the border patrol 边境巡逻

   

Past the salvage yard 'cross the train tracks 过去打捞院子，穿过火车轨道

And in through the storm drain 而在经过暴漏

They stretched their blankets out 'neath the freeway 他们伸出自己的毯子出来照耀下高速公路

And each one took a name 而且每一个取了一个名字

And jeans like the gavachos wear 而像gavachos穿牛仔裤

   

One night the border patrol swept Twelfth Street 一天晚上，边境巡逻横扫十二街

A big car come fast down the boulevard 一个大的汽车来快速下跌的林荫大道

Spider stood caught in its headlights 站在蜘蛛陷入其前大灯

Got hit and went down hard 腹背受敌，走到下山难

As the car sped away Spider held his stomach 随着汽车扬长而去蜘蛛举行了他的胃

Limped to his blanket 'neath the underpass 一瘸一拐地到他的毯子照耀下地下道

Lie there tasting his own blood on his tongue 躺在那里品尝自己的血在他的舌头

Closed his eyes and listened to the cars 闭上双眼，听着车
