I left my home in Norfolk Virginia 我离开了我的家在弗吉尼亚州诺福克

California on my mind 加州在我心中

I straddled that Greyhound í跨越的灰狗

And rode into Raleigh 和骑马到罗利

And on across Caroline 而在整个加

   

We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle 我们有马达故障就变成一场斗争

Halfway across Alabam' 横跨半个阿拉巴马

And that hound broke down and left us all stranded 那猎犬崩溃了，给我们留下了所有被困

In downtown Birmingham 在伯明翰市中心

   

Right away I brought me a through train ticket 我立刻给我带来了直通车票

Ridin' across Mississippi clean 坐车穿过密西西比河干净

And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham 我是在午夜飞出来伯明翰

Smoking into New Orleans 吸烟到新奥尔良

   

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana 有人帮我拿路易斯安那出来

Just to help me get to Houston Town 只是为了帮我去休斯敦城

There are people there who care a little about me 还有人在那里谁照顾一点点关于我的

And they won't let the poor boy down 他们不会让这个可怜的孩子倒

   

Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit 当然，由于你出生给我带来了丝绸套装

Put luggage in my hand 把行李放在我的手

And I woke up high over Alberquerque 我醒来的时候，高过Alberquerque

On a jet to the promised land 在喷射到应许之地

   

Working on a T-bone steak a la carte 工作在T骨牛排点菜

Flying over to the golden state 飞越到金州

Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes 阿当飞行员告诉我们13分钟

He would set us at the terminal gate 他使我们在终端门

   

Swing low chariot come down easy 摆动低点战车下来容易

Taxi to the terminal zone 打车去码头区

Cut your engines and cool your wings 削减你的引擎和冷却你的翅膀

And let me make it to the telephone 并让我给电话

   

Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia 洛杉矶给我弗吉尼亚州诺福克

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling 告诉乡亲回家，这是应许之地调用

And the poor boy is on the line 可怜的孩子就行了
