歌词
Oh how do you do, young Willie McBride
嗨，Willie McBride，你好吗？
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?
让我在你的墓旁坐一会儿好吗？
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun
让我在夏日的暖阳里稍做休息
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done
我已走了一整天，就快到目的地
And I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
我在你的墓碑上读到，你年仅十九
When you joined the great fallen in 1916
就奔赴战场，那是在一九一六
Well I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean
希望你的离世既无痛苦，也无牵挂
Or Willie McBride, was is it slow and obscene?
还是说，Willie McBride，死亡难道折磨着你，无以复加？
Did they beat the drums slowly?
他们击出的鼓点低缓吗？
Did they play the fife lowly?
他们吹起的横笛低沉吗？
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
他们将你的棺木放下时有没有奏起死亡之行？
Did the band play the last post and chorus?
乐手是否演奏副歌至曲终？
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
乐器是否描绘出林中花丛？
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
你生前有无妻儿在世
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined?
忠诚地将你永远铭志？
And though you died back in 1916
即使你在一九一六与世长辞
To that loyal heart you're forever nineteen
于她而言，你年纪十九，一生如是
Or are you a stranger without even a name?
或许你是位无名无姓的陌生人？
Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane
相片在旧玻璃格子下永久封存
In an old photograph torn, tattered, and stained
照片已然蒙尘破损不辨
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame
在棕色的皮质相框内泛黄不似当年
Did they beat the drums slowly?
他们击出的鼓点低缓吗？
Did they play the fife lowly?
他们吹起的横笛低沉吗？
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
他们将你的棺木放下时有没有奏起死亡之行？
Did the band play the last post and chorus?
乐手是否演奏副歌至曲终？
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
乐器是否描绘出林中花丛？
The sun shining down on these green fields of France
阳光布泽于法国的这片绿地
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
红罂粟在暖风轻拂中嬉戏
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
耕犁之下战壕渐渐被掩埋
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now
瓦斯弹封存，铁荆棘卸去，枪炮声不再
But here in this graveyard that's still no man's land
但是这片墓园依然是无人之地
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
数不尽的白色十字架如无言证人席
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
注视着世人双目蒙尘毫不在意同胞死活
And a whole generation were butchered and damned
见证了一整代人惨遭屠戮渐渐陨落
Did they beat the drums slowly?
他们击出的鼓点低缓吗？
Did they play the fife lowly?
他们吹起的横笛低沉吗？
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
他们将你的棺木放下时有没有奏起死亡之行？
Did the band play the last post and chorus?
乐手是否演奏副歌至曲终？
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
乐器是否描绘出林中花丛？
And I can't help but wonder oh Willie McBride
噢，Willie McBride，我不禁深思
Do all those who lie here know why they died
长眠于此的人是否皆知晓自己因何离世
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause
你当真相信那些人说与你的理由？
Did you really believe that this war would end wars
你当真相信这场战争会是所有战事的尽头？
Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
所有折磨，尽数苦痛，利战荣耀，败战屈辱
The killing and dying it was all done in vain
杀戮与死亡尽付虚无
Oh Willie McBride it all happened again
噢，Willie McBride，它就这样再次发生
And again, and again, and again, and again
就这样循环往复
Did they beat the drums slowly?
他们击出的鼓点低缓吗？
Did they play the fife lowly?

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
他们将你的棺木放下时有没有奏起死亡之行？
