歌词
Now the Captain called me to his bed
上尉把我叫到他的床前
慌乱地抓住我的手
He fumbled for my hand
“拿着这些银杠”，他说
“这是我的命令”
"Take these silver bars" he said
“命令什么，这儿又没有别人
"I'm giving you command"
只有你和我
其他人或阵亡或撤退
"Command of what, there's no one here
或正与敌人酣战”
“抱怨、抱怨，你只会这样
There's only you and me
自我们迷失之后
若不是圣主受难
All the rest are dead or in retreat
则人间遭受浩劫”
Or with the enemy"
“愿主宽恕你的灵魂
如此恶劣的玩笑
"Complain, complain, that's all you've done
四周心如煤炭熊熊燃烧
血肉如烟升起”
Ever since we lost
“少年我知道你饱受磨难
但再忍受一会吧
If it's not the Crucifixion
让士兵伤心的事
亦必使杀手微笑”
Then it's the Holocaust"
“上尉，我将离开，我必须走了
你的双手沾染了鲜血
"May Christ have mercy on your soul
但是上尉如果你知道请你告诉我
立身之地何在？”
For making such a joke
屠杀之中
无处立身
Amid these hearts that burn like coal
但若有女子牵你的手
And the flesh that rose like smoke"
就和她站到一起吧”
我离开了田纳西的妻子
"I know that you have suffered, lad
西贡（胡志明市）的孩子
我赌上性命不是来听
But suffer this awhile
这些西部乡村歌谣的”
“抱歉，但你若是无法
Whatever makes a soldier sad
高度提升你的爱
那你就是我在找的人
Will make a killer smile"
来吧，和我一起”
“你掌权的日子结束了”，我喊道
"I'm leaving, Captain, I must go
“别想再召集我
There's blood upon your hand
我甚至不知道
我们为谁而战、因何而战”
But tell me, Captain, if you know
“我站在必输无疑的
Of a decent place to stand"
天堂的对立面
“我用我的两点（“蛇眼”指两次掷出一点）
"There is no decent place to stand
来抵抗注定的七点”
“我已读过《世界人权宣言》（1948）
In a massacre
有一部分可以信任
但自由之重无人承担
But if a woman take your hand
那就交给你吧”
上尉将死
Go and stand with her"
上尉未伤
我看着手里的银杠（军徽）
"I left a wife in Tennessee
把它们戴到衬衫上
And a baby in Saigon
I risked my life, but not to hear
Some country western song"
"Ah, but if you cannot raise your love
To a very high degree
Then you're just the man I've been thinking of
So come and stand with me"
"Your standing days are done", I cried
"You'll rally me no more
I don't even know what side
We fought on, or what for"
"I'm on the side that's always lost
Against the side of Heaven
I'm on the side of Snake-eyes tossed
Against the side of Seven"
"And I've read the Bill of Human Rights
And some of it was true
But there wasn't any burden left
So I'm laying it on you"
Now the Captain he was dying
But the Captain wasn't hurt
The silver bars were in my hand
Pinned them to my shirt
