歌词
It was back in nineteen forty-two
那是在1942年
I was a member of a good platoon
我在军队一个挺牛叉的排队
We were on maneuvers in a Loozianna
我们在路易斯安那州进行演习
One night by the light of the moon
一天晚上趁着月亮很亮
The captain told us to ford a river
排长叫我们涉水过河
That's how it all begun
一切就是这样开始的
We were knee deep in the Big Muddy
我们走进齐膝深的大泥坑里
But the big fool said to push on
但大傻瓜说要继续前进
The sergeant said sir are you sure
中士说:“长官，你确定吗?
This is the best way back to the base
这是回基地的最好办法吗?”
Sergeant go on I forded this river
排长说:“中士，少特么废话，都给我继续
About a mile above this place
就特么才一英里而已
It'll be a little soggy but just keep slogging
虽然会有点沾水，但要坚持下去
We'll soon be on dry ground
我们很快就会上岸的。”
We were waist deep in the Big Muddy
我们继续在齐膝深的泥水里行进
And the big fool said to push on
大傻瓜说不到黄河心不死
The sergeant said sir with all this equipment
中士说:“长官，我们还背着装备
No man will be able to swim
没办法游泳。”
Sergeant don't be a nervous Nellie
排长说:“中士，别紧张。”
The captain said to him
排长接着对大伙说
All we need is a little determination“
我们所需要的只是一点决心;
Men follow me I'll lead on
伙计们，跟我来，我来带路。”
We were neck deep in the Big Muddy
泥水都快没过我们的脖子了
And the big fool said to push on
大傻瓜还喊着不到长城非好汉
All at once the moon clouded over
突然间，月亮遮住了天空
We heard a gurgling cry
我们听到一声咯咯的叫声
A few seconds later the captain's helmet
几秒钟后，排长的头盔
Was all that floated by
跟着水流漂走了
The sergeant said turn around men
中士说:“所有人，掉头!
I'm in charge from now on
从现在起由我做主。”
And we just made it out of the Big Muddy
我们刚从大泥沼里出来
With the captain dead and gone
排长就死了，尸首都不见了
We stripped and dived and found his body
我们脱光衣服潜入水中发现了他的尸体
Stuck in the old quicksand
陷在陈年的流沙里
I guess he didn't know that the water was deeper
我猜他不知道水远远深于
Than the place he'd once before been
他以前去过的地方
Another stream had joined the Big Muddy
另一条小溪汇入这条泥泞的大河
About a half mile from where we'd gone
离我们去的地方大约半英里
We were lucky to escape from the Big Muddy
我们很幸运地从大泥泞中逃了出来
When the big fool said to push on
当大傻瓜死也嚷着继续继续
Well I'm not going to point any moral
我不会说任何道德上的东西
I'll leave that for yourself
我把这个问题留给你
Maybe you're still walking
也许你还在走路
You're still talking
你还在说话
You'd like to keep your health
你想要保持健康
But every time I read the papers
但是每次我看报纸的时候
That old feeling comes on
不由得想起那阵子
We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
我们走在齐腰深的泥泞中
And the big fool says to push on
大傻瓜说坚持就是胜利
Waist deep in the Big Muddy
齐腰深的大泥泞里
And the big fool says to push on
大傻瓜说继续前进
Waist deep in the Big Muddy
齐腰深的大泥泞里
And the big fool says to push on
大傻瓜说继续前进
Waist deep neck deep
深及腰颈
Soon even a tall man'll be over his head
甚至一个大个儿也淹过他的头
We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
我们在齐腰深的大泥泞里
And the big fool says to push on
大傻瓜喊着继续继续
