Hero Of War
He said, “Son,
他说，儿子
Have you see the world?
你瞧见这个世界了吗
Well, what would you say
那么你会说什么
If I said that you could?
如果我说你可以看到的话
Just carry this gun
带着这把枪
and you’ll even get paid.”
你就能得到回报
I said, “That sounds pretty good.”
我说，那听起来很不错
黑色的皮靴
Black leather boots
发出锃亮寒光
Spit-shined so bright
他们剪掉了我的头发 但这看起来也不错
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
我们一边行军一边高歌
We marched and we sang
我们都成为了兄弟
We all became friends
随着我们学会了如何战斗
As we learned how to fight
一个战争英雄
是的，那就是我将要成为的
A hero of war
然后当我返家之时
Yeah that’s what I’ll be
他们都将以我为傲
And when I come home
我将扛着这面旗帜
They’ll be damn proud of me
直到身死也不放手
I’ll carry this flag
因为这是我深爱的旗帜啊
To the grave if I must
也是寄托我信仰的旗帜
Because it’s flag that I love
我踢开了门
And a flag that I trust
我向我的士兵们怒吼
I kicked in the door
这些孩子们哭了
I yelled my commands
但我找到了我要找的人
The children, they cried
我们带走了他
But I got my man
他的脸上罩着一个袋子
We took him away
那个袋子来自他的家人和朋友
A bag over his face
他们扒光了他的衣服
From his family and his friends
他们往他手心里撒尿
我告诉他们停下
They took off his clothes
但接着我加入了进来
They pissed in his hands
我们用枪揍他
I told them to stop
而且不止一回
But then I joined in
而是一次又一次
We beat him with guns
一个战争英雄啊
And batons not just once
是啊，那就是我要成为的
But again and again
然后当我归家
他们必将以我为傲
A hero of war
我将扛着这面旗帜
Yeah that’s what I’ll be
直到身死也不放手
And when I come home
因为这是我深爱的旗帜啊
They’ll be damn proud of me
也是寄托我信仰的旗帜
I’ll carry this flag
她从流弹和烟雾中走来
To the grave if I must
我叫她停下
Because it’s flag that I love
我甚至乞求她别动
And a flag that I trust
但她继续前进
所以我举起了我的枪
She walked through bullets and haze
扣动了扳机
I asked her to stop
弹壳从烟雾中蹦出
I begged her to stay
并进了沙子
But she pressed on
现在血已经湿透了
So I lifted my gun
她倒下了，手里还拿着一面旗帜
And I fired away
一面洁白如雪的旗帜
一个战争英雄
And The shells jumped through the smoke
那就是他们看到的么
And into the sand
只有奖章与伤疤
That the blood now had soaked
如此以我为傲
我把那面旗帜带回了家
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
现在它落满了灰尘
A flag white as snow
但它是一面我热爱的旗帜
它是我唯一信仰的旗帜啊
A hero of war
他说，儿子，你瞧见这个世界了吗
Is that what they seen
那么你会说什么
Just medals and scars
如果我说你可以看到的话
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it’s a flag that I love
It’s the only flag I trust
He said, “Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say,
if I said that you could?”
