歌词
Two days past eighteen
他过十八岁才两天
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
穿着绿色军装等待巴士
Sat down in a booth at a cafe there
在一个咖啡店卡座坐下
Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair
把他点的单给头上系着蝴蝶结的女孩
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile
他有些羞涩 于是她投以微笑
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
然后他说 你介意坐下来一会么
And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low
和我聊聊天 我有些难过
她说我有一小时的空
She said I'm off in an hour
而且我知道我们可以去哪里
And I know where we can go
于是他们跑出去坐到码头上
他说我打赌你有男朋友 但我不介意
So they went down and they sat on the pier
我没有谁可以写信
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
你会介意我寄一封回来给你吗
I've got no one to send a letter to
我哭了
再也无法牵起旁人的手
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?
他太年轻 他们告诉她
别再等待远征士兵的爱
I cried
我们的爱不会终止
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
等待远去的士兵归来
Too young for him they told her
再也不会孤独
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
当信里说一个士兵就将归来
Our love will never end
于是那一封封信抵达
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
从加利福尼亚的军营
Never more to be alone
然后是越南
When the letter says a soldier's coming home
他诉说他的内心
这就是爱情吧
So the letters came
还有他所惧怕的所有事
From an army camp
他说当事情变得艰难的时候
In California then Vietnam
我就想起我们在码头的那天
And he told his heart
我又闭上眼就看见你美丽的微笑
It might be love
别担心
And all of the things he was so scared of
但是我可能有段时间不能写信
Said when it's gettin kinda tough over here
我哭了
I think about that day sittin' down at the pier
再也无法牵起旁人的手
And close my eyes and see your pretty smile
他太年轻 他们说
别再等待远征士兵的爱
Don't worry
我们的爱没有终点
But I won't be able to write for a while
等待士兵的凯旋归来
永不将寂寞
I cried
当信上说一位士兵就要归来
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
一个周五晚上的足球比赛
Too young for him they told her
念完祷告 唱过赞歌
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
一个人说 请大家低头默哀
Our love will never end
为这些阵亡的越战将士
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
台下的人们都在哭泣
Never more to be alone
军乐队奏响短笛
When the letter says a soldier's coming home
一个无人在意的名字被念出来
除了一个系着蝴蝶结的美丽姑娘
One Friday night at a football game
我流泪了
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
再也无法牵起旁人的手
A man said folks would you bow your heads
他太年轻 他们总这样说
For the list of local Vietnam dead
别再等待远征士兵的爱
我们的爱不灭
Cryin' all alone under the stands
我依然等待那个士兵的归来
Was the piccolo player in the marching band
不将孤独
And one name read and no one really cared
当信里说一个士兵就要归家
我哭泣
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
再也无法牵起旁人的手
他太年轻 他们总这样说
I cried
别再等待远征士兵的爱
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
我们的爱不会终止
Too young for him they told her
我会等待他回来
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
不再孤独
Our love will never end
当信里说他就要归来
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone
When the letter says a soldier's coming home
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
