Washington Square

From Cape¹ Cod² light to the Mississippi
to San Francisco Bay
They're talking 'bout³ this famous place
Down Greenwich Village way
They hootenanny all the time with folks from everywhere
Come Sunday morning, rain or shine
Right in Washington Square

And so I got my banjo out
Just sitting catching⁴ dust
And painted right across the case
Greenwich Village or bust⁵!
My folks were sad to see me go
But I got no meaning there
So I say "Goodbye, Kansas Mom"
And "Hello, Washington Square"

Near Tennessee I met a guy
　　who played twelve strings⁶ guitar
He also had a mighty⁷ voice
Not to mention a car
Each time he sits those bluegrass chords
You sure smelled mountain air
I said "Don't waste it on the wind"
Come on to Washington Square

In New Orleans we saw a gal⁸
A walking with no shoes
And from her throat there comes a growl
She sure was singing the blues
She sang for all humanity
This gal with raven⁹ hair
I said, "It's for the world to hear"
Come on to Washington Square

We cannon-balled into New York
On good old U. S. one
Till up ahead we saw the arch
Gleaming bright in the sun
As far as all the eyes could see
Ten thousand folks was there
And singing in sweet harmony
Right in Washington Square

Say how's about a freedom song
Or the old "Rock Island Line"
Or how's about the dust bowl crop
Or men work in mine?
The song and legends of our land
is gold we all can share
So come and join us folks who stand
And sing in Washington Square

华盛顿广场

从鳕鱼角到密西西比州
再到旧金山海湾
人们都谈论着这个有名的地方
就在格林威治村的路上
来自各地的人们不断的在街头表演
星期天早上来吧！不论晴天雨天
就在华盛顿广场

于是我拿出五弦琴
坐下来擦拭着灰尘
粉刷整个琴盒
"扬名格林威治或一文不名！"
村民们悲伤的看着我走
但那儿对我毫无意义
于是我说：再见了，堪萨斯
　　　　　哈啰！华盛顿广场

快到田纳西州时，
我遇到一个弹着十二弦琴的人
他的歌喉也很棒
完全不谈汽车
每次他坐着弹出"青草地"音乐( 注 )的和弦
你可以闻到山间的气息
我说：别把音乐虚掷在风中
　　　到华盛顿广场去吧！

在纽奥良我们看到一个女孩
走路不穿鞋子
她的喉间发出低沉的声音
当然，她正唱着蓝调歌曲
为全人类而唱
这位头发乌黑的女孩
我说：这歌声应该让全世界听到
　　　到华盛顿广场去吧！

我们飞快的到了纽约
借着一辆很棒的老美国车
抬头看见了拱门
在阳光下闪着光芒
放眼望去
那儿有上万的人
甜美而和谐的唱着
就在华盛顿广场

有人说：唱首有关自由的歌吧
唱"Rock Island Line"也可以
或者是关于旱灾欠收、
　人们在矿坑工作的歌
这个土地上的歌与传奇
就是我们可以共享的黄金
因此，加入我们吧
到华盛顿广场欢唱

注：青草地音乐( bluegrass )，是种十分轻快悦耳的乡村音乐，40年代中期发源于美国肯塔基州，主要乐器是五弦琴、小提琴、曼陀林和吉他，歌词内容多在叙述爱情、家庭和大自然。
