歌词
Two days past eighteen
18岁刚过两天
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
他穿着绿色军装等待汽车
Sat down in a booth at a café there
在一个露天的咖啡厅坐下
Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair
向一个戴着蝴蝶结的女孩点餐
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile
她冲着害羞的男孩微笑
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
男孩说你介意坐下一会儿
And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low
陪我聊聊天吗因为我有点情绪低落
她说我有一小时休息时间
She said I'm off in an hour
我知道我们可以去哪里坐坐
And I know where we can go
他们一起坐在码头上
他说我打赌你有男友但是我不会在乎
So they went down and they sat on the pier
无人与我写信来往
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
你是否介意我与你书信交往？
I've got no one to send a letter to
我哭了
我从未拉过其它男孩的手
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?
大家说他还太年轻
I cried
等待远征战士的爱
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
我们的爱情将永不消逝
Too young for him they told her
等待远征战士的回归
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
不会再与寂寞相伴
Our love will never end
当信上说战士即将凯旋
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
不断发来信件
Never more to be alone
从军营中
When the letter says a soldier's coming home
从加州到越南
他向她倾诉衷肠
So the letters came
表达爱意
From an army camp
他说战争的一切令他十分恐惧
In California then Vietnam
每当那里情况严峻的时候
And he told his heart
我都会想起那日码头共坐
It might be love
我闭上双眼就能回忆起你那甜美微笑
And all of the things he was so scared of
不要担心 即使我有时不能写信
Said when it's gettin kinda tough over here
即使我有时不能写信
我哭了
I think about that day sittin' down at the pier
我从未拉过其它男孩的手
And close my eyes and see your pretty smile
大家说他还太年轻
等待远征战士的爱
Don't worry
我们的爱情将永不消逝
But I won't be able to write for a while
等待远征战士的回归
I cried
不会再与寂寞相伴
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
当信上说战士即将凯旋
Too young for him they told her
在一个星期五晚的足球赛上
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
圣歌伴随着领主的祈祷
Our love will never end
一个人说同胞们请低下头去
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
为了哀悼我们的同乡死于越南
Never more to be alone
看台下面伤心哭泣的
When the letter says a soldier's coming home
是行进乐队的短笛手
没有人真正在意一个死者的姓名
One Friday night at a football game
除了那头戴蝴蝶结年轻美丽的姑娘
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
我哭了
A man said folks would you bow your heads
我从未拉过其它男孩的手
For the list of local Vietnam dead
大家说他还太年轻
等待远征战士的爱
Cryin' all alone under the stands
我们的爱情将永不消逝
Was the piccolo player in the marching band
等待远征战士的回归
And one name read and no one really cared
不会再与寂寞相伴
but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
当信上说战士即将凯旋
I cried
我哭了
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
我从未拉过其它男孩的手
Too young for him they told her
大家说他还太年轻
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
等待远征战士的爱
Our love will never end
我们的爱情将永不消逝
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
等待远征战士的回归
Never more to be alone
不会再与寂寞相伴
When the letter says a soldier's coming home
当信上说战士即将凯旋
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone
When the letter says a soldier's coming home
