Two Weeks From Twenty

歌词
Jimmy wasn't really popular
吉米是那样普通平凡
He had a couple of friends back home
他在家乡有几个朋友
And sooner or later they're all getting out
但他们迟早都会离开
So he had to join up alone
他便不得不独自从军
He was dreaming of the Ivy League
他曾梦想(考入)常春藤联盟
Since he was only three feet tall
从他仅三英尺高时起(就一直这么想)
And get the hell out of Jersey
接着就能摆脱泽西岛
And then he would never look back at all
自此他将永不回头
And then your hear 'em say that miles away
那之后,你听闻他们传说在那遥远彼方
We lost another one that we sent with a gun
我们又失去了一个人,一个我们给予他枪(把他送上战场)的人
They're gonna miss him he was
他们将会怀念他
Two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame
(吉米)他还有两周就二十岁了
From the man to blame
那个本该遭受责难的人却依旧毫无愧疚
Jimmy never had a reason to stay
吉米未曾有过借口留下
'Cos all the factories shut down
因为所有工厂都关闭了
All he had was a line for his name
他所有的一切是那条为他名字存在的线
So he could sign away his right to be proud
因此他只能签下,并引以为荣地放弃他的权利
He tried to kiss her on the way out the door
走出大门时,他试着吻她
She just put her little hand on his face
她仅以自己小手抚他脸庞
"I don't understand why you're leaving", she said
她说:“我不明白,你为何离开。”
"But I hope you're gonna ask me to wait"
“但我希望你会对我说:等我。”
And then your hear 'em say that miles away
那之后,你听闻他们传说在那遥远彼方
We lost another one that we sent with a gun
我们又失去了一个人,一个我们给予他枪(把他送上战场)的人
His lady missed him, he was
他的女孩在想他
Two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame
(吉米)他还有两周就二十岁了
From the man to blame
那个本该遭受责难的人却依旧毫无愧疚
吉米母亲去了国会大厦
Jimmy's mother went to Capitol Hill
于是,她可以满心“欢喜”
So she could fill her heart up with joy
或许她会在那和一些人握手
Maybe shake a few hands while she's there
然后告诉他们:谢谢,先生,是你们夺走了我的孩子
And tell them thank you, sir, for taking my boy
那之后,你听闻他们传说在那遥远彼方
And then your hear 'em say that miles away
我们又失去了一个人,一个我们给予他枪(把他送上战场)的人
We lost another one that we sent with a gun
他的妈妈思念着他
His mama missed him he was
(吉米)他还有两周就二十岁了
Two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame
那个本该遭受责难的人却依旧毫无愧疚
From the man to blame
没有,依旧毫无愧疚,而我们都难辞其咎
No there's still no shame and we're all to blame
我们都该被责难,我们都该被批判
We're all to blame, we're all to blame
我们都该被责难,我们都该被批判
We're all to blame, we're all to blame
