歌词
One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany
慕尼黑的一个周四,料峭天寒
Eight great football players conceded victory,
八个球星本应凯旋而返
Eight men will never play again who met destruction there,
可空难留住了他们的年华
The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester
他们是英国足球之花,永远的曼彻斯特之花
Matt Busby’s boys were flying home, returning from Belgrade,
巴斯比爵士的男孩们离开贝尔格莱德
This great United family, all masters of their trade,
他们曾是绿茵场上的王者
The pilot of the aircraft and the skipper Captain Thain,
当值机长几次试飞
Three times they tried to take off and twice turned back again.
却终究无功而归
The third time down the runaway disaster followed close,
等到第三次尝试,灾难不速而至
There was slush upon that turn light and the aircraft never rose,
跑道的积雪,使飞机失去控制
It ran upon the marshy ground, it broke, then overturned.
飞机侧翻在湿泞的泥地上
And eight of the team were killed when the blazing wreck burned.
燃烧的残骸使23条生命永留他乡
The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew,
罹难的还有训练员,教练,秘书和机组人员
And also sporting journalists who with United flew,
还有跟队记者永远与逝者长眠
And one of them was big Frank Siwft who'll never sure forget
那个叫Frank swift 的记者,我们铭记一生
The finest english 'keeper to ever grace the net
还有那个最好的英国门神,在废墟中英勇地救人
Oh England's finest football team it's record truly great
绿茵场上的荣耀之狮
It's proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate
也难逃过命运的编织
Eight men will never play again who met destruction there
空难留住了你们最好的年华
The flowers of English football the flowers of Manchester
可我们永远记得,你们是曼彻斯特之花(切尔西球迷留 谨表达对逝者的哀悼)
