I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am, 我想握住我的头，是我是谁而感到自豪，

but they won't let my secret go untold. 但他们不会让我的秘密去数不清。

I paid the debt I owed them, but they're still not satisfied, 我付我欠他们的债务，但他们仍不满意，

now I'm a branded man out in the cold, 现在我是一个品牌的人冷落，

   

When they let me out of prison, I held my head up high, 当他们让我走出监狱，我握着我的头，

determined I would rise above the shame. 确定我会上涨的耻辱之上。

But no matter where I travel, the black mark follows me, 但无论在哪里出差，黑标跟着我，

I'm branded with a number on my name. 我烙上了一些关于我的名字。

If I live to be a hundred, guess I'll never clear my name, 如果我活到一百岁，你猜我永远也不会清楚我的名字，

'cause everybody knows I've been in jail. 因为大家都知道我一直在监狱里。

   

No matter where I'm living, 无论身在何处，我的生活，

I've got to tell them where I've been, 我必须告诉他们我去过的地方，

or they'll send me back to prison if I fail. 或者，如果我失败了，他们会送我回监狱。

   

Now I'm a branded man out in the cold. 现在我是一个品牌的人在寒冷。
