- Viktor was born in the spring of '44
维克多生在1944年的春天
And never saw his father anymore
从降生起他就没有见过他的父亲
A child of sacrifice, a child of war
他是一个牺牲者的儿子，是一场战争的后遗症
Another son who never had a father after Leningrad
他只不过是另一个在列宁格勒之后失去父亲的孩子
Went off to school and learned to serve the state
从学校退了学，学着如何服侍国家
Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight
他坚守规则，他喝起伏特加来很是爽快
The only way to live was drown the hate
唯一能生存的方式就是在仇恨的海洋中溺死
A Russian life was very sad
在俄国的生活是很艰难的
And such was life in Leningrad
在列宁格勒的日子也同样黑暗
I was born in '49

A cold war kid in McCarthy time
我是一个属于冷战和麦卡尼当红时代的孩子
Stop 'em all at the 38th Parallel
叫他们都在38号大道停下
Blast those yellow reds to hell
把这些红砖房炸成碎屑
And cold war kids were hard to kill
生于冷战时期的孩子是很难被杀死的
Under their desks in an air raid drill
他们是隐藏的突袭战士
Haven't they heard we won the war
难道他们没听说战争已经胜利了吗
What do they keep on fighting for?
为什么他们还在抗争着？
Viktor was sent to some Red Army town
维克多被送到了红色军营
Served out his time, became a circus clown
服完了他的兵役，退伍后做了马戏团的小丑
The greatest happiness he'd ever found
他所见过的最美好的快乐
Was making Russian children glad
就是让那些俄国的小孩开怀
And children lived in Leningrad
还有那些曾住在列宁格勒的孩子们
But children lived in Levittown
唯独不为住在莱维敦的那些
And hid in the shelters underground
躲在地下防护所里的孩子们
Until the Soviets turned their ships around
直到苏联倒台
And tore the Cuban missiles down
直到美国将古巴的导弹拆毁
And in that bright October sun
直到那个明朗的十月
We knew our childhood days were done
我知道我们的童年结束了
And I watched my friends go off to war
我曾经看着我的朋友们接连走上战场
What do they keep on fighting for?
他们还在争取什么呢？
And so my child and I came to this place
我和我的孩子也来到了这里
To meet him eye to eye and face to face
我带她亲眼来见一见维克多
He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced
他逗我的女儿笑了，我们亲切地拥抱
We never knew what friends we had
我们从来没想过自己会交到什么样的朋友
Until we came to Leningrad
直到我们来到列宁格勒的那段时光
