故事的发生

So the story it is told

要从1847年的春天说起

Old John Sutter went to the mill site

Found a piece of shinin' gold

Well he took it to the city

Where the word like wildfire spread

And old John Sutter soon came to wish he'd

Left that stone in the river bed

该把那块石头留在河床上

For they came like herds of locusts

人们集聚如蝗

Every woman child and man

In their lumberin' Conestogas

在大篷车笨重的前行中

They left their tracks upon the land

将车辙留在原野上

Some would fail and some would prosper

有人无功而返，有人心遂所愿

Some would die and some would kill

有人长眠异乡，有人图财害命

Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance

Well they came from New York City

And they came from Alabama

With their dreams of findin' fortunes

In this wild unsettled land

来到这荒蛮的土地上

Well some fell prey to hostile arrows

一些人在穿越平原时

As they tried to cross the plains

命丧箭下

And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains

一些人失踪在洛基山脉

With their hands froze to the reins

冻饿而亡

Oh some would fail and some would prosper

噢，有人无功而返，有人心遂所愿

Some would die and some would kill

Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance

And by the Spring of 1860

They had opened up the West

And then the railroad came behind them

And the land was plowed and tamed
