歌词
Sam was lyin' in the jungle
山姆躺在丛林里
agent orange spread against the sky like marmalade
橙剂撒在天穹下，好像橘子酱
Hendrix played on some foreign jukebox
亨德里克斯在奇怪的点唱机里弹琴
they were praying to be saved
他们在祈祷救赎的到来
Those gooks were fierce and fearless
那群越南人凶猛又无惧
that's the price you pay when you invade
这就是你入侵要付出的代价
Xmas in February
二月的圣诞节
山姆在边境的一个村子丢掉了胳膊
Sam lost his arm in some border town
他的手指头混进了庄稼地
His fingers are mixed with someone's crop
要是他没有鸦片可吸
If he didn't have that opium to smoke
这痛楚永远也不会消失
The pain would never ever stop
半数的朋友进了裹尸袋
Half his friends are stuffed into black body bags
在上面印有他们的名字
With their names printed at the top
二月的圣诞节
Xmas in February
山姆当过快餐厨子
一时间镇里住着黑人和蓝领工人
Sammy was a short order cook
所有人都在炼钢厂工作
In a short order black and blue collar town
但炼钢厂关了门
Everybody worked the steel mill
他想着如果参了军
But the steel mill got closed down
他会有个大好前程
He thought if he joined the Army
就像圣诞节不在二月
He'd have a future that was sound
山姆注视着越战纪念碑
Like no Xmas in February
他回家已经有一段时间
他妻离子散，他丢了工作
Sam's staring at the Vietnam Wall
他是这场败仗的见证
It's been a while now that he's home
他是街上那个带块牌子的人，上面写着
His wife and kid have left, he's unemployed
“请帮助这位老兵回家”
He's a reminder of the war that wasn't won
但他已经回了家，圣诞节也不在二月
He's that guy on the street with the sign that reads
无论他省下了多少钱
"Please help send this Vet home"
But he is home, and there's no Xmas in February
No matter how much he saves
