Hurricane
Kasırga (Rubin Hurricane Carter'a)
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter patty valentine from the upper hall.
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Cries out, "my god, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.
(Gece bardan silah sesleri duyuldu
Üst salondan börekçi kız girdi içeri
Barmeni gördü havuzda kanlar içinde
Ağlayarak “aman tanrım, hepsini öldürdüler!”
İşte size kasırganın hikayesi
Otoriteler tarafından kınanan adam
Hiçbir zaman yapmayacağı bir şey yüzünden
Hapse atıldı, ki bir zamanlar
Dünya şampiyonu olmuştu...)
Three bodies lyin' there does patty see
And another man named bello, movin' around mysteriously.
"i didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his hands
"i was only robbin' the register, i hope you understand.
I saw them leavin'," he says, and he stops
"one of us had better call up the cops."
And so patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot new jersey night.
(Üç ceset uzanmış, börekçi gördü
Adı bello olan diğer adam, gizemlice geziniyordu
“ben yapmadım” dedi, ve ellerini kaldırdı
“ben robbinim” işte kimlik “anlamanızı umuyorum”
