I hear the south wind moan

The bridges gettin' lower

The shrimp boats coming home

But the old man down in the Quarter

但住在老城区的那位老人

Slowly turns his head

缓缓地转过头

Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and

喝一口威士忌

This is what he said

他说着

I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain

Underneath the Louisiana moon

沐浴着路易斯安那的月光

I don't mind the strain of a hurricane

It comes around every June

每年六月都会来袭

The high black water the devil's daughter

She's hard and she's cold and she's mean

滚滚而来的黑色洪水 如同恶魔的女儿般可怕

她铁石心肠 冷漠而刻薄

But nobody taught her it takes a lot of water

但没人告诉她 需要滔天的洪水

To wash away New Orleans

A man came down from Chicago

He's gonna set that levee right

He said "It needs to be at least three feet higher

他说 至少还要加高三英尺

Or it won't make it through the night"

But the old man down in the Quarter

否则就熬不过这个夜晚

但住在老城区的那位老人说

Said "Don't you listen to that boy

别听那个小子胡扯

The water'll be down by the morning

清晨到来 洪水就会退去

And he'll be back to Illinois"
