The Animals - House of the Rising Sun：歌詞+中文翻譯

The Animals於1964年的歌曲，
這首歌的原曲約在1930左右，
可原作者已不可考，被許多的歌手翻唱過，
直到1964年The Animals用搖滾的曲風詮釋後，
讓這首歌有了全新的面貌且搖滾風格讓這首歌意外的搭，
該樂團也因為這樣而走紅。

There is a house in New Orleans

在紐澳良有間房子

They call the Rising Sun

人們都稱之為昇日之屋

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I'm one

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Not to do what I have done

Well, I got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm goin' back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain
