[00:00.000] 作词 : Stevie Wonder
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Stevie Wonder
[00:11.270]A boy is born in hard time mississippi
[00:15.980]Surrounded by four walls that ain’t so pretty
[00:20.930]His parents give him love and affection
[00:25.100]To keep him strong moving in the right direction
[00:29.910]Living just enough just enough for the city ee ha
[00:40.420]His father works some days for fourteen hours
[00:45.230]And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
[00:50.100]His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
[00:54.540]And you’d best believe she hardly gets a penny
[00:58.940]Living just enough just enough for the city yeah
[01:26.540]His sister’s black but she is sho’nuff pretty
[01:31.380]Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy
[01:36.290]To walk to school she’s got to get up early
[01:41.090]Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
[01:45.170]Living just enough just enough for the city um hum
[01:56.090]Her brother’s smart he’s got more sense than many
[02:00.660]His patience’s long but soon he won’t have any
[02:05.610]To find a job is like a haystack needle
[02:10.200]Cause where he lives they don’t use colored people
[02:14.570]Living just enough just enough for the city
[02:51.620]Living just enough For the city
[05:17.370]His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty
[05:22.140]He spends his life walking the streets of new york city
[05:26.880]He’s almost dead from breathing in air pollution
[05:31.680]He tried to vote but to him there’s no solution
[05:35.570]Living just enough just enough for the city
[05:43.330]Yeah yeah yeah
[05:46.280]I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
[05:50.750]And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
[05:55.560]This place is cruel no where could be much colder
[06:00.280]If we don’t change the world will soon be over
[06:04.220]Living just enough stop giving just enough for the city

[00:11.270]一个男孩在密西西比艰难的岁月里诞生
[00:15.980]被丑陋的高墙禁锢
[00:20.930]他的父母给他爱和关怀
[00:25.100]让他在正确地方向上坚定不移
[00:29.910]只是为了在城市里活下去
[00:40.420]他父亲有时一天工作十四个小时
[00:45.230]然而你可知道他几乎一个子儿都挣不来
[00:50.100]他的母亲无数次清理人们的地板
[00:54.540]你可能不敢相信她依旧什么都得不到
[00:58.940]仅仅能在这个城市里生存下去
[01:26.540]他的姐姐也是黑人但长得老俊了
[01:31.380]她的裙子很短但腿实在好看
[01:36.290]为了去上学她每天早早起床
[01:41.090]衣着简陋却很干净
[01:45.170]仅仅是为了在这个城市里生存而已
[01:56.090]她的弟弟很聪明但不像白人一样有很多机会
[02:00.660]他很有耐心但是很快耐心就被挥霍光了
[02:05.610]找到合适的工作实在是太难了
[02:10.200]不好意思在这座城市里有色人种是被歧视的
[02:14.570]仅仅是为了在这座城市活下来而已
[02:51.620]仅仅只是为了活下来而已
[05:17.370]他的头发都变长了,腿脚如同被灌了铅
[05:22.140]他好像在纽约的街道里走过了一生
[05:26.880]他快死了我们却爱莫能助
[05:31.680]他参加投票却无能为力
[05:35.570]他仅仅是想在这里生存下来而已啊
[05:43.330]可怜的人
[05:46.280]我希望自己多听内心的声音
[05:50.750]这样就能创造一个更好的明天
[05:55.560]没有什么地方能比这里更冷酷了
[06:00.280]如果我们不改变的话一切都将毁灭
[06:04.220]他仅仅是为了在这里生存下去
