Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)

Heart-carved tree trunk Yankee bayonet
美国人把树干修剪成心的形状
A sweetheart left behind
一颗心便赫然而现
Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas
此地远离波涛汹涌的卡罗莱纳的山丘
That's where my true love lies
那里有我真挚的爱

羽毛光鲜的燕子飞翔的时候找一找我
Look for me when the sun-bright swallow
它们的歌声回荡在桦树枝头
Sings upon the birch bough high
你所站的土地上有田鼠和象鼻虫
But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils
叮在你干硬的骨头上
All a'chew on your bones so dry
太阳破土而出

照在已经没有战斗口号的告示板上
But when the sun breaks
你能不能给我立个碑
To no more bulletin battle-cry
我就要回家了
Then will you make a grave
我就要回家了
For I will be home then
我就要回家了
I will be home then
我就要回家了
I will be home then
一会儿就回
I will be home then
我还是个小姑娘的时候 奥康尼的山丘
Then
仿佛是将我缝在了里面
When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee
集市上我们不经意的目光接触
Made a seam to hem me in
我的心竟像被针刺了一下
There at the fair when our eyes caught careless
你看到了马纳萨斯战场上的亡灵了吗
Got my heart right pierced by a pin
残肢断臂

我滞留在荒芜的平原上
But oh did you see all the dead of Manassas
肚子里怀着一个小孩
All the bellies and the bones and the bile
太阳破土而出
Though I lingered here with the blankets barren
照在已经没有战斗口号的告示板上
And my own belly big with a child
你能不能给我立个碑

我就要回家了
But when the sun breaks
我就要回家了
To no more bulletin battle-cry
我就要回家了
Then will you make a grave
我就要回家了
For I will be home then
森严壁垒
I will be home then
横亘在你我之间
I will be home then
松弛的皮肤完全不能
I will be home then
让我嫌弃你
Stems and bones and stone walls too
即使肉体之爱会断绝
Could keep me from you
即使肌肤不能相触
Scaly skin is all too few
随着羽毛光鲜的麻雀找一找我
To keep me from you
或许我感觉到风的气息
But oh my love though our bodies may be parted
Though our skin may not touch skin
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow
I will come on the breath of the wind
