歌词
I work on the border
我在美墨边境工作
I see what I see
见证这里发生的一切
I work on the border
我在美墨边境工作
And it's workin' on me
边境也在改变着我
I lie awake at night
我夜不能寐
Knowin' what I know
将心中之事埋藏心底
There's a price on the head
每一位边境巡警的项上人头
Of every border patrol
都被重金悬赏
Where the smugglers do business
走私犯活跃的地方
That's where I make a stand
正是我捍卫立场的地方
I know this old desert
我对这片古老的沙漠
Like the back of my hand
异常熟悉
I see greed in the bushes
我看见灌木后的贪婪
I see snakes in the dark
和夜色中的奸诈
Some are friends of my brothers
他们有些是我的兄弟和朋友
Can't you hear them dogs bark
你难道听不到他们狗的吠叫吗
I come home to Maria
每天傍晚
At the end of the day
我回到玛利亚身边
In the shape of a shadow
作为她的影子
Holding demons at bay
默默地将恶魔拒之门外
It's just the border they say
他们说，这只是美墨边境
It was Mexican soldiers
那是墨西哥的士兵
Out of a black Humvee
正从黑色的悍马中走出
With their guns to their shoulders
他们肩上扛着枪
Aimed at my partner and me
瞄准了我和我的同伴
As they drove away laughin'
在他们驱车离去、放声大笑之时
But the message was clear
但是显而易见
We don't care about nothin'
我们什么都不在乎
But the money downhere
除了这里的钱
I come home to Maria
我回到了玛利亚身边
In a bullet proof vest
身上穿着防弹衣
With the weight of the whole wide world
在我的胸口
Bearin' down on my chest
担负着世界的重量
It's just the border I guess
我想，这只是美墨边境
From the shacks and the shanties
从那棚屋中走出的
Come the hungry and poor
饥饿、贫穷的难民
Some to drown at the crossing
有些在跨越边境的时候倒下了
Some to suffer no more
有些也不再遭受苦难
I guess you heard about Campos
我想你或许听说过坎波斯
And Ramien
和拉门
Both of them friends of mine
他们都是我的朋友
Both good men
都是正直的人
They did one thing right
他们做了正确的事
And look what they got
但看看他们得到了什么：
Federal prison
被判有罪
Where they're both gonna rot
锒铛入狱
I come home to Maria
我回到了玛利亚身边
Where else would I go
我还能去哪儿呢
Across the river to die by myself
难道要跨过河
Down in old Mexico
在墨西哥自生自灭吗
It's just the border you know
毕竟，这也只是美墨边境啊
