献给新奥尔良的歌

New Orleans

I heard the wind roaring strong

I felt the rain pouring down

I was forced to leave town

My home, my beloved home, New Orleans

 

I saw the water rising up

I saw my people getting trapped

I feel the pain, the tears, the helpless cry

Oh my home, my destroyed home, New Orleans

 

I really miss the streetcar named desire

I deeply crave the taste of red bean and rice

I dreamed about the beautiful avenue St. Charles

I could still hear the Mardi Gras cheers

How I love my home, my sweet home, New Orleans

 

Don't know what I should do without Jazz

Don't know when I'll have seafood gumbo next

Don't know how to restore the Audubon Park

But one thing I do know for sure

One thing

That I love this town so much

That I miss my home so hard

That we'll rebuild the city somehow

And we'll help each other this time

Cause it's our home, our sweet, sweet home

New Orleans
