This Old Town Lyrics – Janis Ian
Singer: Janis Ian
Title: This Old Town
This old town should have burned down in 1929
That’s when we stood in line
Waiting for our soup while swallowing our pride
This old town should have burned down in 1931
When the rain refused to come
Air filled up our bellies
Dust filled up our lungs
And we thought our time had come
But this old town was built by hand
In the dustbowl of the motherland
There must be rock beneath this sand
I’ll be damned—this town still stands
This old town should have burned down in 1944
When the last man went to war
They came back different, if they came back at all
This old town should havе burned down in 1956
That’s when the twistеr hit
And all our hopes lay buried beneath the boards and bricks
And we almost called it quits
But this old town was built by hand
In the dustbowl of the motherland
There must be rock beneath this sand
I’ll be damned—this town still stands
Somewhere in the distance
The city lights do shine
Sidewalks gleam with neon dreams
That call from time to time
When my children’s children ask
Why I didn’t go
I’ll say—the heart of any town
Is the people that you’ve known
And they always call you home
This old town was built by hand
In the dustbowl of the motherland
And there is rock beneath the sand
I’ll be damned—this town still stands

This Old Town – Terjemahan / Translation
Kota tua ini seharusnya terbakar pada tahun 1929
Saat itulah kami berdiri dalam antrean
Menunggu sup kami sambil menelan bangga kami
Kota tua ini seharusnya terbakar pada tahun 1931
Ketika hujan menolak untuk datang
Udara memenuhi perut kita
Debu memenuhi paru-paru kita
Dan kami pikir waktu kami telah datang
Tapi kota tua ini dibangun dengan tangan
Di Dustbowl of the Motherland
Pasti ada batu di bawah pasir ini
Saya akan terkutuk-kota ini masih berdiri
Kota tua ini seharusnya terbakar pada tahun 1944
Ketika pria terakhir pergi berperang
Mereka kembali berbeda, jika mereka kembali sama sekali
Kota tua ini harus terbakar pada tahun 1956
Saat itulah twistеr hit
Dan semua harapan kami dibawa terkubur di bawah papan dan batu bata
Dan kami hampir menyebutnya berhenti
Tapi kota tua ini dibangun dengan tangan
Di Dustbowl of the Motherland
Pasti ada batu di bawah pasir ini
Saya akan terkutuk – kota ini masih berdiri
Suatu tempat di kejauhan
Lampu kota memang bersinar
Trotoar berkilau dengan mimpi neon
Panggilan itu dari waktu ke waktu
Ketika anak-anak anak-anak saya bertanya
Kenapa aku tidak pergi
Saya akan mengatakan – jantung kota mana pun
Adalah orang-orang yang Anda kenal
Dan mereka selalu memanggilmu pulang
Kota tua ini dibangun dengan tangan
Di Dustbowl of the Motherland
Dan ada batu di bawah pasir
Saya akan terkutuk-kota ini masih berdiri
