Lyrics
Born down in a dead man’s town
– Li fèt nan vil yon nonm ki mouri
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
– Premye kout pye mwen te pran se lè mwen te frape tè a
End up like a dog that’s been beat too much
– Fini tankou yon chen ki te bat twòp
‘Til you spend half your life just coverin’ up, now
– ‘Jiskaske ou pase mwatye lavi ou jis kouvri moute, kounye a
Born in the U.S.A.
– Li fèt ozetazini.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Mwen te fèt Ozetazini.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Mwen te fèt Ozetazini.
Born in the U.S.A. now
– Li fèt ozetazini kounye a
Got in a little hometown jam
– Jwenn nan yon ti vil natal jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
– Se konsa yo mete yon zam nan men m
Sent me off to a foreign land
– Voye m ‘ ale nan yon peyi etranje
To go and kill the yellow man
– Pou ale touye nonm jòn lan
Born in the U.S.A.
– Li fèt ozetazini.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Mwen te fèt Ozetazini.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Mwen te fèt Ozetazini.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Mwen te fèt Ozetazini.
Come back home to the refinery
– Retounen lakay ou nan rafineri a
Hirin’ man says, “Son, if it was up to me”
– Hirin ‘moun di,” Pitit gason, si li te jiska m’”
Went down to see my V.A. man
– Te desann pou wè V. a. nonm mwen
He said, “Son, don’t you understand,” now
– Li te di, “Pitit gason, Ou pa konprann”, kounye a
Oh yeah
– Oh yeah
No, no
– Non, non
No, no, no
– Non, non, non
I had a brother at Khe Sanh
– Mwen te gen yon frè Nan Khe Sanh
Fightin’ off them Viet Cong
– Goumen Yo Viet Cong
They’re still there, he’s all gone
– Yo toujou la, li tout ale
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
– Li te gen yon fanm li te renmen nan Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms, now
– Mwen te gen yon foto nan l ‘nan bra l’, kounye a
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
– Anba nan lonbraj la nan penitansye a
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
– Pa dife gaz nan rafineri a
I’m ten years burnin’ down the road
– Mwen gen dis ane boule desann wout la
Nowhere to run, ain’t got nowhere to go
– Pa gen kote pou kouri, pa gen okenn kote pou ale
Born in the U.S.A.
– Li fèt ozetazini.
I was born in the U.S.A. now
– Mwen te fèt ozetazini kounye a
Born in the U.S.A
– Li fèt Ozetazini
I’m a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now
– Mwen se Yon Papa lontan ale nan Usa a kounye a
Born in the U.S.A.
– Li fèt ozetazini.
Born in the U.S.A.
– Li fèt ozetazini.
Born in the U.S.A.
– Li fèt ozetazini.
I’m a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now
– Mwen se Yon papa fre balanse nan Usa a kounye a
