歌词与翻译

[中文]

当我独自走在这些街道，穿行在我称之为家的这片街区

在高布里荒芜的田野上，在石筑的球场之下

穿过天使站的闸机，看见绿地上的流浪者

从卡林顿到十字路口，以及中间每一个破烂不堪的小巷

经过教堂、清真寺、毒窝，还有转角处的便利小店

看着那伪装成桑拿房的妓院里走出的尤物

注视着博彩店里的喧闹，看那赢家与输家

在当地的烈酒中寻求慰藉，排解忧愁

穿过集市的疯狂，饱经风霜的面孔向你点头致意

“嘿，老板，你母亲身体还好吗？”

“你还好吗，小子，祝你好运，伙计”

一份肉派土豆泥配汤，来杯红茶放松一下，伙计

或是看着退休黑帮在亚瑟咖啡馆里整天争吵不休

那些惹麻烦的小混混让警察忙得团团转，却也让你忍俊不禁

和哥们儿聚在一起喝上几杯，暂时忘掉烦恼

从索恩希尔到赫明顿，所有的面孔都如此熟悉

因为即便这片地盘在变迁，这里的人们始终如一

北伦敦，直到永远

无论天气如何，这些街道都属于我们

我的心永远不会离开这里

我的血液将永远流淌在这片土地

当我独自走在这些街道，穿行在这一片冰冷的钢筋丛林

我看见他们撬起铺路石，拆掉我们童年的家园

我看见建筑风格在改变，看着历史逐渐消逝

看着天际线被重新排列，变成一幢幢虚假的摩天大楼

但我仍能看见伦敦的残影，那些他们以为能抹去的痕迹

每当我听那些老派的人念叨着昔日的荣光

或每当我跟哥们儿看场球赛，吃顿咖喱

看见街头小贩在叫卖衣物，或毒贩在注射毒品

它存在于那些一边带娃一边打工的单身母亲身上

存在于每一个挣扎求生、最终锒铛入狱的兄弟身上

它存在于根脉与基石中，依然紧紧依附着这片土地

它存在于依然屹立的莫兰德与波帕姆建筑的砖瓦中

它存在于我的家人和朋友，存在于每一克金粉与每一辆奔驰里

它是我们这一代人终结时，所继承下来的根基

它存在于你青春的废墟里，存在于你往昔的面孔中

因为即便这片地盘在变迁，这里的人们永远长存

北伦敦，直到永远

无论天气如何，这些街道都属于我们

我的心永远不会离开这里

我的血液将永远流淌在这片土地

[英语]

As I walk these streets alone, through this borough I call home

Upon the baron fields of Highbury 'neath the stadiums of stone

Through the turnstiles at The Angel, see the homeless on the green

From The Cally to The Cross, and every shithole in between

Pass the church, the mosque, a crack den, and the offie on the corner

See the brasses from the brothel that pretends to be a sauna

Watch the bedlam in the bookies, see the winners and the losers

Seeking solace from their sorrow in the local battle cruisers

Through the madness in the market, weathered faces turn to greet ya

"'Ello gov'nor, how's your mother?"

"You alright, son, be lucky, geezer"

Double pie and mash and liquor, a Cuppa Rosie Lee up chap

Or watch retired gangsters bicker, every day in Arthur's café

The little fuckers causing trouble, for the cozzers make you smile

You meet ya muckers for a couple, forget your troubles for a while

From The Thornhill to The Hemmy, all the faces are the same

'Cause the manor might be changing, but the people still remain

North London forever

Whatever the weather, these streets are our own

And my heart will leave you, never

My blood will forever, run through the stone

As I walk these streets alone, through a kingdom made of chrome

I see them ripping up the cobbles, and tearing down our childhood homes

I see the architecture changing, watch the history disappear

And the skyline rearranging into towers of veneer

But I see the remnants of a London that they thought they could erase

Every time I hear the old school talk about the good old days

Or every time I watch the football and have a ruby with the lads

See an hoister selling clobber or a dealer shooting bags

It's in the single mothers juggling a baby and a job

In every single brother struggling that wound up in the dock

It's in the roots and the foundations, still clinging to the land

It's in the bricks that built the Morland and Popham that still stand

It's in my family and my friends, in every gram and every Benz

It's in the roots that we inherit when a generation ends

It's in the ruins of your youth and the faces of your past

'Cause the manor might be changing, but the people always last

North London forever

Whatever the weather, these streets are our own

And my heart will leave you, never

My blood will forever, run through the stone
