- Don McLean The Grave 歌詞
- Don McLean
- The grave that they dug him had flowers
人們為他下葬的墓中填滿鮮花
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,
盛夏般明亮的花朵是從山坡採來的
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.
他的墓碑立在淡色的土壤中
Hes gone.
他已歸去
When the wars of our nation did beckon,
當國家為了戰爭招募士兵
A man barely twenty did answer the calling.
這將將二十歲的青年義無反顧地響應了號召
Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation ,
驕傲地信任著國家
Hes gone,
他已歸去
But Eternity knows him, and it knows what weve done.
但是永恆將銘記他於心，記著我們做了些什麼
And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers
雨水宛如珍珠一般落在花朵地葉瓣上
Leaving brown, muddy clay where the earth had been dry.
將乾涸地土壤打濕成泥
And deep in the trench he waited for hours,
在深渠中他一直等待
As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die.
他緊握步槍，祈禱生還
But the silence of night was shattered by fire
但是寂靜的夜色被戰火所燎
As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air.
子彈與手雷在空中飛舞
And one after another his comrades were slaughtered.
一個接著一個，他的伙伴死去了
In morgue of Marines, alone standing there.
海軍戰隊地停屍房中，他獨自站著
He crouched ever lower, ever lower with fear.
他在恐懼中蜷縮
They cant let me die! The cant let me die here!
“不要讓我死去！不要讓我在這裡死去！ ”
Ill cover myself with the mud and the earth.
“讓我自己沉寂在土壤中”
Ill cover myself! I know Im not brave!
“讓我自己逝去，我沒有那麼勇敢”
The earth! the earth! the earth is my grave.
“土壤！土壤！將成為我的墓地”
The grave that they dug him had flowers
人們為他下葬的墓中填滿鮮花
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,
盛夏般明亮的花朵是從山坡採來的
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.
他的墓碑立在淡色的土壤中
Hes gone.
他已歸去
