House of the Rising Sun

作詞：Georgia Turner/Bert Martin     作曲：Alan Price/Traditional

There is a house in New Orleans 在紐奧良有一間屋子
They call the Rising Sun 人們都叫它"日昇之屋"
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
很多窮人的孩子都在此毀掉一生
And God I know I'm one 我知道，我就是其中一個

My mother was a tailor 我的母親是個裁縫
She sewed my new blue jeans 是她把我的新牛仔褲補好的
My father was a gambling man 我的父親是個賭鬼
Down in New Orleans 在紐奧良南方

Now the only thing a gambler needs 現在，這個賭鬼唯一需要的
Is a suitcase and trunk 是行李箱與大皮箱
And the only time he's satisfied 他唯一感到滿足的時候
Is when he's on a drunk 是他喝醉的時候

Oh mother, tell your children 噢！媽媽，告訴孩子們
Not to do what I have done 別步我的後塵
Spend your lives in sin and misery 在罪惡與悲慘中度過餘生
In the House of the Rising Sun 在那"日昇之屋"

Well, I got one foot on the platform 我一腳踏在月台
The other foot on the train 另一腳踏在火車車廂上
I'm going back to New Orleans 我正要回到紐奧良
To wear that ball and chain 回去戴上腳銬與鎖鏈

Well, there is a house in New Orleans 在紐奧良有一間屋子
They call the Rising Sun 人們都叫它"日昇之屋"
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
很多窮人的孩子都在此毀掉一生生
And God I know I'm one 我知道，我就是其中一個
