[中文]

凯迪拉克停在房子旁边

而美国人就在里面

绣工男孩们，吐着建议

"用别针把车偷走"

当我们回头看了一眼，心跳加速

在那死人躺着的房间里

大吉姆·德赖尔最后一次出行

去他父亲安息的海边

但十五分钟后，我们就尝到第一口威士忌

叔叔们在讲古老的爱尔兰历史

男人们开始讲笑话，女人们也变得兴奋

到晚上五点，全都喝得烂醉

再见了，走吧，已经别无话可说

再见了，纽约，波士顿和宾夕法尼亚

他用精准的一击把他们打倒，我们常听他说

"我是自由出生的美国人"

他在匹兹堡与冠军比试，将他打倒在地

他迎战泰尼·塔尔塔内拉，比赛只有一回合

他从不对红色分子、酒、骰子或妓女动好心

但当比赛合适时，他从不作弊

于是他们派他去打仗

再见了，走了，没有别的话可说

祝你幸福，乔，爱尔兰在美洲

念着玫瑰经，喝着远方的西班牙酒

我是自由出生的美国人，是的

...

今天早晨在港口，我跟你道别

我记得曾发誓总有一天会回来

夕阳落山，天色渐暗，山丘上的夜晚

我告诉你我永远爱你，曾经，永远，永远

再见了，走吧，已无话可说

只愿与你那像海水一样蔚蓝的双眼道别

致大吉姆·德赖尔，那个常说“我是自由出生的美国人”的电线工

"我是自由出生的美国人"

我是自由出生的美国人

我是自由出生的美国人

...

[英语]

The Cadillac stood by the house

And the yanks, they were within

And the tinker boys, they hissed advice

"Hot-wire her with a pin"

When we turned and shook as we had a look

In the room where the dead men lay

So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip

To the shores where his father's laid

But 15 minutes later we had our first taste of whiskey

There was uncles giving lectures on ancient Irish history

The men all started telling jokes and the women, they got frisky

By five o'clock in the evening every bastard there was piskey

Fare thee well, going away, there's nothing left to say

Farewell to New York City, boys, to Boston and PA

He took them out with a well-aimed clout, we often heard him say

"I'm a free born man of the USA"

He fought the champ in Pittsburgh and he slashed him to the ground

He took on Tiny Tartanella and it only went one round

He never had no time for reds, for drink or dice or whores

But he never threw a fight when the fight was right

So they sent him to the war

Fare the well, gone away, there's nothing left to say

With a slainte Joe and Erin go my love's in Amerikay

The calling of the rosary, Spanish wine from far away

I'm a free born man of the USA, yeah

This morning on the harbour, when I said goodbye to you

I remember how I swore that I'd come back to you one day

And as the sunset came to meet, the evening on the hill

I told you I'd always love you, I always did, I always will

Fare thee well, gone away, there's nothing left to say

But to say adieu to your eyes as blue as the water in the bay

To big Jim Dwyer, the man of wire who was often heard to say

"I'm a free born man of the USA"

I'm a free born man of the USA

I'm a free born man of the USA
