这是一首“黑金”的歌谣
This is the ballad of the black gold

有人叫它“德州茶”

But it’s bigger than a cowboy with a lasso

Bubble hotter than Tabasco

More than what you bargained for or asked for

食不果腹的人脸上怎会有笑容
You never see happy, hungry people – that ain’t rational

他们揭竿而起，杀气腾腾
They blasting through the gates and they attack you at the capital

直捣黄龙，弑君犯上
Run up in your palace, find the heads of the state and crack a few

被权利侵蚀后，变成另一群法西斯
Get a taste of power, then they become fascists too

财政保守主义，我不懂政客们的目的
The fiscal conservatives, don’t know what they purpose is

军费激增，民不聊生
Spend money on the war, then they cut your goods and services

石油公司就像吸金怪兽，眼中只有营业额

汽车业都垮了，石油业怎么依旧红火？
How they banking while the auto industry is tanking?

领导已形同虚设，污染把小河变成臭水沟
Leadership is sinking; oil pollution in the water stanking

利润染红了人们的双眼，破坏了经济
Loyalty to petroleum royalties spoil the economy

独占天下石油是我们的目标
We won’t get it poppin’ till we oil-free

如果你的油藏量丰富，那我们就入侵
If you’re oil-rich then we invadin’

有人把这叫做“占有”，但国民却在萧条之中水深火热
They call it “occupation,” but we losing jobs across the nation

对，钻井，钻井，继续钻，就算士兵们失去生命，也别停下
Drill, baby, drill, while they make our soldiers kill, baby still

沙漠上流淌着血和油的河
The desert where the blood and oil spill

尼日利亚已经独立五十年
Nigeria is celebrating 50 years of independence

仍旧笼罩在大英帝国的殖民阴影下
They still feel the colonial effects of Great Britain’s presence

统治者东施效颦
Dictators quick to imitate the West

和石油公司狼狈为奸，整个国家生灵涂炭
Got in bed with oil companies and now the place is a mess

猜猜看，是谁肆无忌惮的蹂躏
Take a guess, which ones came and violated

Ogoni族人民世代经营的土地浸满热油，寸草不生【Ogoni尼日利亚当地民族，其土地房屋被石油公司暴取豪夺】

他们没有忍气吞声
But still they never stayed silent

活动家和诗人用非暴力策略奋起还击【当地人民成立了MOSOP反抗政府的暴行】
They was activists and poets using non-violent tactics

不曾想反而招来大兵，被跨省被喝茶
That was catalyst for soldiers to break into they crib

他们家破人亡，在凄风苦雨中忍耐
Take ’em from the kids and try to break ’em like a twig

政府杀鸡儆猴，处死了他们的首领【Saro-Wiwa是MOSOP的领导人】
And make examples of the leaders; executed Saro-Wiwa

痛打声援者，连亲人也不放过【指的是非洲歌手Fela Kuti和其母亲Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti遭到的不公正待遇】
Threw Fela’s mom out the window right after they beat her

哪里有希望，哪里就有压制，人民陷入石油的沼泽
In an effort to defeat hope. Now the people’s feet soaked in oil

年轻人们驾着快艇行凶作案
So the youth is doing drive-bys in speed boats

They kidnap the workers, they blowing up the pipelines

火光把夜变成白昼
You see the fires glowing in the nighttime

历史出自狡猾人之手
History: a slippery creature

就像神秘小说，充满扭曲的陷阱和惊人的结局
It’s full of plot twists and surprise endings like a mystery feature

有关石油的新闻简直比传教士还虚伪
This oil shit is slicker than preachers

他们发表胜利演说，无视不断扩大地区的矛盾
It make the problems in the region amplified like victory speeches

石油把水变成了毒，无辜的人变成了刽子手
Poison the water, lead the boys to the slaughter

他们大摇大摆的进入别的国家，改易旗帜，分邦划界
Go in somebody’ country, rearrange the order and destroy the borders

在油田的烈火中他们翩翩起舞
You see ’em dancing through the fields of fire
