house of the rising sun

노래방에 가면 꼭 이 노래를 부르던 사람이 있었다.
한번 들은 후에는, 내가 늘 불러달라고 했었지만.
노래방에서 들을 수 있는 노래 중 가장 슬픈 노래였다.
그리고 이 노래를 부른 그 수많은 사람들 중에서도
최고는 단연 니나 시몬이었다.

니나 시몬의 목소리를 찾아내서 어렵게 씨디를 손에 넣던 기억.

::
There is a house in New Orleans,
they call it Rising Sun.
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know I'm one.

My mother was a tailores
sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
down in New Orleans.

Now the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk.
And the only time he'll be satisfied
is when he's down and drunk.

Oh mother tell your children
not to do what I have done
spend your lives in sin and misery
in the House of the Rising sun.

Well I've got one foot on the platform
the other foot on the train.
I'm going back to New Orleans
to wear that ball and chain.

There is a house in New Orleans,
they call it Rising Sun.
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know I'm one.
