Well I work the double shift
[Saya kerja dua shift]
In a bookstore on St. Clair
[Di sebuah toko buku di St. Clair]
While he pushed the burning ingots
[Sementara dia mendorong ingot yang membara]
In Dofasco stinking air
[Di udara busuk Dofasco]
Where the truth bites and stings
[Di mana kebenaran menggigit dan menyengat]
I remember just what we were
[Aku ingat betul siapa kita]
As the noon bell rings for
[Saat lonceng siang berbunyi untuk]
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
[Blackhawk dan merpati bersayap putih]

Hold on to your aching heart
[Pegang erat hatimu yang sakit]
I'll wipe the liquor from your lips
[Aku akan menghapus minuman dari bibirmu]
A small town hero never dies
[Seorang pahlawan kota kecil takkan pernah mati]
He fades a bit and then he slips
[Dia memudar sedikit dan kemudian menghilang]
Down into the blast furnace
[Ke dalam tungku peleburan]
In the heat of the open hearth
[Di panas perapian terbuka]
And at the punch clock he remembers
[Dan di jam kerja, dia ingat]
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
[Blackhawk dan merpati bersayap putih]

I remember your leather boots
[Aku ingat sepatu kulitmu]
Pointing up into the sky
[Menunjuk ke langit]
We fell down to our knees
[Kita jatuh berlutut]
Over there where the grass grew high
[Di sana di mana rumput tumbuh tinggi]
Love hunters in the night
[Pemburu cinta di malam hari]
Our faces turned into the wind
[Wajah kita menghadap ke angin]
Blackhawk where are you now
[Blackhawk, di mana kau sekarang]
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
[Blackhawk dan merpati bersayap putih]
We were Blackhawk where are you now
[Kita adalah Blackhawk, di mana kau sekarang]
We were Blackhawk where are you now
[Kita adalah Blackhawk, di mana kau sekarang]

Do you still have the ring I gave you
[Apakah kau masih punya cincin yang kuberikan]
On the banks of Lake Bear
[Di tepi Danau Bear]
Where I felt certain that I knew you
[Di mana aku yakin aku mengenalmu]
My cool and distant debonair
[Pria keren dan dingin]
Now we drink at Liberty Station
[Sekarang kita minum di Liberty Station]
Another cup of muscatel
[Satu cangkir muskatel lagi]
Wrapped in the strong arms of the Union
[Terbungkus dalam pelukan kuat Serikat]
Raisin' kids from raisin' hell
[Membesarkan anak-anak dari kekacauan]
