歌词
The grave that they dug him had flowers
人们为他下葬的墓中填满鲜花
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,
盛夏般明亮的花朵是从山坡采来的
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.
他的墓碑立在淡色的土壤中
He's gone.
他已归去
When the wars of our nation did beckon,
当国家为了战争招募士兵
A man barely twenty did answer the calling.
这将将二十岁的青年义无反顾地响应了号召
Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation,
骄傲地信任着国家
He's gone,
他已归去
But Eternity knows him, and it knows what we've done.
但是永恒将铭记他于心，记着我们做了些什么
And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers
雨水宛如珍珠一般落在花朵地叶瓣上
Leaving brown, muddy clay where the earth had been dry.
将干涸地土壤打湿成泥
And deep in the trench he waited for hours,
在深渠中他一直等待
As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die.
他紧握步枪，祈祷生还
But the silence of night was shattered by fire
但是寂静的夜色被战火所燎
As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air.
子弹与手雷在空中飞舞
And one after another his comrades were slaughtered.
一个接着一个，他的伙伴死去了
In morgue of Marines, alone standing there.
海军战队地停尸房中，他独自站着
He crouched ever lower, ever lower with fear.
他在恐惧中蜷缩
They can't let me die! The can't let me die here!
“不要让我死去！不要让我在这里死去！”
I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth.
“让我自己沉寂在土壤中”
I'll cover myself! I know I'm not brave!
“让我自己逝去，我没有那么勇敢”
The earth! the earth! the earth is my grave.
“土壤！土壤！将成为我的墓地”
The grave that they dug him had flowers
人们为他下葬的墓中填满鲜花
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,
盛夏般明亮的花朵是从山坡采来的
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.
他的墓碑立在淡色的土壤中
He's gone.
他已归去
