Hedwig Grace West - Cotton Mill Girls 歌词翻译

我在棉纺厂做了一辈子
除了这把折叠式小刀，一贫如洗
日子真难过呀，棉纺厂姑娘，
到哪都不好过

日子真难过呀，棉纺厂姑娘，
日子真难过呀，棉纺厂姑娘，
日子真难过呀，棉纺厂姑娘，
到哪都不好过

1915年的时候我们听人讲
去棉花之乡吧，赶紧前往
可现在日子真难过呀，棉纺厂姑娘，
到哪都不好过

路途多么遥远啊，从吉尔默到巴洛，
从艾利嘉河到卡特凯河。
日子真难过呀，棉纺厂姑娘，
到哪都不好过

我们的孩子每天做12个小时
只拿14美分的微薄工资
日子真难过呀，棉纺厂姑娘，
到哪都不好过

当我死了，不用埋葬我
把我吊在纺纱间墙上就行了
把我的骨头泡在酒精里吧，
棉纺厂姑娘，日子真难过呀

I worked in the cotton mill all my life,
I ain't got nothin' but a Barlow knife.
Hard time cotton mill girls,
Hard time everywhere.

Chorus (after each verse):

And it's hard times cotton mill girls,
Hard times cotton mill girls,
Hard times cotton mill girls,
Hard times everywhere.

Nineteen-fifteen I heard it said
Go to cotton country and get ahead
But it's hard times, cotton mill girls,
Hard times everywhere.

Gilmer to Barlow's a long long way
Down Ellijay to Cartecay.
It's hard times, cotton mill girls,
Hard times everywhere.

Us kids worked twelve hours a day
For fourteen cents of measly pay
Hard times, cotton mill girls,
Hard times everywhere.

When I die, don't bury me at all,
Just hang my body on the spinning room wall,
Pickle my bones in alcohol,
It's hard time cotton mill girls.
