歌词
He was just eighteen
他才十八岁
Full of fire and gasoline
满身汽油味
He was lean and mean
他精力十足
And they called him Texas
他们都叫他德克萨斯
He went off to war
他去打仗了
To a far and distant shore
去了遥远的海岸
He’d never left his home before
他从未离开过家乡
He was from Texas
他来自德克萨斯州
As they stormed that beach one foggy summer day
在一个多雾的夏日 他们冲进海滩
He said if I don’t make it back promise me one thing
他说 如果我没能回来 答应我一件事
如果我战死了 带我回到故乡
Take me home if I die
当我走了 你不要哭泣
When I’m gone don’t ya cry
在一棵橡树旁找到一些树荫
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
然后唱那些古老的信仰之歌
Sing those old songs of faith
我将在你们的恩典下离开
I’ll fly away amazing grace
但你知道 我的灵魂终将找到和平之处
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
你可以把我埋葬在德克萨斯深蓝色的天空中
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
她只有十八岁
是他见过的最美的人
Well she was just eighteen
像现实生活中的美女皇后
Prettiest thing he’d ever seen
有一天她会成为他的妻子
Like a real life beauty queen
但在未来四年里
And someday she’d be his wife
她强忍住泪水
But for the next four years
而他也战胜了他的恐惧
She fought back her tears
为他的生命而战
While he fought back his fears
在他最黑暗的时刻
Fighting for his life
她的爱会给他带来光明
And in his darkest hours
他会收到她的信
Her love would bring him a light
他会在夜里祈祷
He would read her letters
如果我战死了 带我回到故土
He would pray at night
当我走了 你不要哭泣
在一棵橡树旁找到一些树荫
Take me home if I die
唱那些古老的信仰之歌
When I’m gone don’t ya cry
我将在你们的恩典下离开
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
但你知道 我的灵魂终将找到和平之处
Sing those old songs of faith
你可以把我埋葬在德克萨斯深蓝色的天空中
I’ll fly away amazing grace
他总是说 真正的英雄
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
是回不到故乡的(暗指牺牲)
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
尽管战争早已经结束
你知道他还活着
He always said the real heroes
他仍活在这个世界上
Never made it back home
当他八十三岁的时候
And though the war was long over
还是满身汽油味
You know for him it still lived on
他仍然老当益壮
And it still lives on
他们仍然称他为德克萨斯
在他去世的那天
When he was eighty-three
她就在他身边
Still full of fire and gasoline
她轻轻地唱着摇篮曲 握着他的手
He was still lean and mean
如果我牺牲了 带我回到故土
And they still called him Texas
当我走了 你不要哭泣
And on the day he died
在一棵橡树旁找到一些树荫
She was right there by his side
唱那些古老的信仰之歌
She held his hand as she softly sang his lullaby
我将在你们的恩典下离开
你可以把我埋葬在德克萨斯深蓝色的天空中
Take me home if I die
你可以将我埋葬
When I’m gone don’t ya cry
你可以将我埋葬
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
你可以把我埋葬在德克萨斯深蓝色的天空中
Sing those old songs of faith
I’ll fly away amazing grace
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
And you can bury me
You can bury me
You can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
