The night stank of diesel 柴油的夜晚发臭

And a stranger came to town 和一个陌生人来到小镇

A cold wind blowing 有寒风吹过

And the rain pouring down 和雨倾泻而下

Street lights flicker 路灯闪烁

And the power lines moan 和电力线的呻吟

The moon beat down 月亮打下来

On a river of bone 对骨的河

Someone put the lights out 有人熄了灯

No one make a sound 没有人发出声音

You won't find a thing 你不会找到一个东西

Down in Oretown 倒在Oretown

   

Foundry spits fire and smoke 铸造吐火和烟

Air's foul and choking 空气的犯规和窒息

Sky full of sulphur 满天硫

Mountains flat and broken 平山和破

Black fogs and whirlwinds 黑色雾，龙卷风

Thunder and rain 雷声大，雨点

Open drink madness 开饮疯狂

And purple mad pain 紫色狂痛

The circus is over 马戏团结束

Exit the clowns 退出小丑

Nobody's laughing 没有人笑

Down in Oretown 倒在Oretown

   

The ship's in the harbour 船舶在港口

Cargo's been pawned 货物的被典当

Barrooms spilling sailors Barrooms溢出水手

All shipwrecked at dawn 所有遇船难者在黎明

Smelling of salt and rust 嗅盐和生锈

Uniforms torn 制服撕破

Came looking for flowers 跑来找花

Only found thorns 才发现刺

Dreaming of mermaids 做梦美人鱼

In pearly white gowns 在珍珠白的礼服

tain is sleeping 泰恩是睡觉

Down in Oretown 倒在Oretown

   

There's a madman down on mainstreet 有一个疯子下来MAINSTREET

Eyes all aflame 眼前的一切辉耀

Laughing in the thunder 笑在迅雷

Of the Number 9 train 9号列车

Selling old postcards in rusty frames 卖旧明信片生锈的框架

A thousand views of Oretown 一千意见Oretown的

And they all look the same 他们看起来都一样

Dressed up in sandals 穿上了凉鞋

And a barbed wire crown 和铁丝网冠

A lot of people loose their minds 很多人失去他们的头脑

Down in Oretown 倒在Oretown

   

Lock up the lawman 锁定的执法官

Let go the thief 放过小偷

Rounding up the grey men 围捕灰色男人

Nail them to a tree 他们钉在树上

This town was a palace 这个镇是一座宫殿

This town was aglow 这个镇是发红

Then the sky burned orange 这时天空燃烧的橙色

And the iron river flowed 和铁流河

The night stank of diesel 柴油的夜晚发臭

A stranger came to town 一个陌生人来到小镇

The night folded over 当晚折叠

Down in Oretown 倒在Oretown
