I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sanh,
我把心留给了溪山旁的工兵
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the black market man.
将灵魂与香烟一起卖给了黑市商人
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey from the ocean to the Silver City.
我曾尝试过强制戒烟 从海上直到银城
And it's only other vets could understand.
这个过程只有其他兽医能理解
'Bout the long forgotten dockside guarantees,
关于那被遗忘已久的码头担保人
How there were no V-Day heroes in nineteen seventy-three.

How we sailed into Sydney Harbour,

Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her,
看到一位老朋友却不能亲吻她
She was lined,
她排着队
And I was home to the lucky land.
而我却属于另一片土地
She was like so many more from that time on,
从那时起 她就像许多其他人一样
Their lives were all so empty,
他们的生活总是那么空虚
Till they'd found their chosen one,
直到找到他们的命中注定
And their legs were often open,
他们虽然游历四方
But their minds always closed,
但思想却那么闭塞
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains.
他们的心被禁锢在那郊区的连锁店里
And the legal pad were yellow,
信笺簿纸泛着黄色
Hours long, paypackets lean,
长期工作 却收入微薄
And the telex writers clattered,
电报员们叽叽喳喳地聊着天
Where the gunships once had been;
说着那些炮舰曾去过的地方
But the carparks made me jumpy,
我仍在为停车位而烦躁
And I never stopped the dreams,
但我从未停止过梦想
Or the growing need for speed or novacine.
对新鲜与快感的需求日益膨胀（novacine在此处指兴奋剂）
So I worked across the country from end to end,
所以我工作的地方开始遍及全国各地
Tried to find a place to settle down,
尝试着找个地方安顿下来
Where my mixed-up life could mend,
望我混乱的生活可以好转
Held a job on an oil-rig,
在石油钻井平台打份工
Flying choppers when I could,
或趁还有能力去开直升机
But the night-life nearly drove me 'round the bend.
但每到深夜 生活简直要把我逼疯了
And I've travelled 'round the world from year to year,
我年复一年地环游世界
And each one found me aimless,
每个人都发现我漫无目的
One more year the worse for wear,
衣裳随着时间愈发破损
And I've been back to South East Asia,
我曾经回到了东南亚
But you know the answer sure ain't there,
但你知道答案不在那儿
But I'm drifting North,
于是我继续北漂
To check things out again.
再把事情检查一遍
Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone,
现在离开悉尼的末班机就要起飞了
And only seven flying hours,
只要七个小时的路程
And I'll landing in Hong Kong,

And there ain't nothin' like kisses from a jaded Chinese Princess,
这世上没有什么比一位赤裸中国公主的香吻更让人兴奋的了
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long.

Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone,
