Trouble on the waterfront 麻烦海滨

Evil in the air 邪在空中

When the Chinatown patrol came down 当华埠巡逻下来

To bring a little order there 带来一点秩序有

They came in undercover 他们来到卧底

To the laundry's back room 要洗衣服的里屋

And right there before their eyes 并在那里他们眼前

Was a Shanghai saloon 是上海轿车

   

Shoot out in Chinatown 拍出来的唐人街

They lined them up against the wall 他们排成起来靠在墙上

They're gonna turn the place upside down 他们会转弯的地方倒挂

Till you won't recognize it at all 直到你将不会承认它在所有

   

Streets were wide open 满街都是敞开的

Till the break of dawn 直到破晓时分

'Twas Frisco in its heyday 何等弗里斯科在其鼎盛时期

Imported from Hong Kong 从香港进口

For about five dollars 约五美元

Or one thousand yen 或千日元

You could gamble and ramble in a brothel 你可以赌博，逛妓院

Or take it to the opium den 或者把它的鸦片馆

   

Shoot out in Chinatown 拍出来的唐人街

They nailed up every door 他们钉在了每门

They're gonna level it to the ground 他们会就平到地面

And close it up for evermore 并关闭它，直到永远

   

Confucius had once stated 孔子曾经说

All across the land 横跨整个大地，

Below the surface, crime and love 下面的表面，犯罪和爱情

They go hand in hand 他们结伴而行

The fire dragons burn 在火龙烧

But swears that we will meet again 但发誓，我们会再见面

In just a little while 在短短的一小会儿
