歌词
There are two young lovers
有一对恋人
They're pledged to each other's hands,
他们即将结婚
They meet by the river
他们在河边相见
To talk of their marriage plans.
筹备他们的婚礼
"I'm confessing," he said, "I've signed for a soldier,
“原谅我，”他说，“我参军了
I'm leaving tomorrow for some foreign land."
明天启程，去其他的国家”
She watches the pretty young soldiers,
她看着这些年轻的士兵
As they march themselves off to the war.
看着他们走向战场
She wonders if she'll ever see him again,
她不知能否再相见
Somehow she doubts it, but she has to be sure.
她莫名地怀疑，她必须弄清楚
第二天，她去了市里
So she rode into town on the very next day,
穿戴整齐，站在队列中
And dressed herself up all in man's array.
拿着剑，枪，领取了King's shilling
With a sword and a musket she took the King's shilling,
离开故乡，去往战场
And to fight in some foreign war,
她说，“是的！”她愿意
She said, "Yes!," she'd be willing.
年轻的士兵们啊
All you pretty young soldiers,
你们第一次穿上军装
In those uniforms that you've never worn.
现在，将军会来视察你们所有人
The Captain will come to inspect you all now,
“不要让我失望，否则我会让你生不如死”
"Let me down and you'll all wish you'd never been born."
将军骑着马
把年轻的士兵推出队列
The Captain astride of his horse's grey flanks,
他凝视着，她开始颤抖
Pulls the pretty young soldier from out of the ranks.
他说，“跟着我
His gaze it is fixed and she's starting to shake,
听好我的条件：
He said, "Follow me soldier
过来，年轻的士兵
And listen to the offer that I'm willing to make."
成为我的助力
"Come you pretty young soldier,
你让我种有奇怪的感觉
Come and be my right hand.
一种说不清楚的感觉”
You're having this strange effect on my soul,
“将军啊，我有一件事要坦白
That I don't quite understand."
我有所爱之人，并为之心碎”
她解开了发带
"Captain, oh Captain, I've a confession to make,
棕色的头发披散，落入他的手中
I love someone else and my heart it will break."
“年轻的士兵啊
And as she released her brown hair from a band,
过来握住我的手
It tumbled all down her shoulders and into his hands.
你让我有种奇怪的感觉
"Oh you pretty young soldier,
我想，我现在懂了”
Come and take my right hand.
You're having this strange effect on my soul,
And now I think, I understand."
