Travelin' Soldier

He was waitin for the bus in his army greens
他穿著綠色軍裝等待汽車
Two days past eighteen
18歲剛過兩天

在一個露天的咖啡廳坐下
Sat down in a booth at a cafe there
向一個戴著蝴蝶結的女孩點餐
Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair
她衝著害羞的男孩微笑
Hes a little shy so she gave him a smile
男孩說你介意坐下一會兒
And he said would you mind sittin down for a while
陪我聊聊天嗎因為我有點情緒低落
And talkin to me Im feelin a little low
她說我有一小時休息時間
She said Im off in an hour
我知道我們可以去哪裡坐坐
And I know where we can go
他們一起坐在碼頭上
So they went down and they sat on the pier
他說我打賭你有男友但是我不會在乎
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I dont care
無人與我寫信來往
Ive got no one to send a letter to
你是否介意我與你書信交往？
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?
我哭了
I cried
我從未拉過其它男孩的手
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
大家說他還太年輕
Too young for him they told her
等待遠征戰士的愛
Waitin for the love of the travelin soldier
我們的愛情將永不消逝
Our love will never end
等待遠征戰士的回歸
Waitin for the soldier to come back again
不會再與寂寞相伴
Never more to be alone
當信上說戰士即將凱旋
When the letter says a soldiers coming home
不斷發來信件
So the letters came
從軍營中
From an army camp
從加州到越南
In California then Vietnam
他向她傾訴衷腸
And he told his heart
表達愛意
It might be love
他說戰爭的一切令他十分恐懼
And all of the things he was so scared of
每當那裡情況嚴峻的時候
Said when its gettin kinda tough over here
我都會想起那日碼頭共坐
I think about that day sittin down at the pier
我閉上雙眼就能回憶起你那甜美微笑
And close my eyes and see your pretty smile
不要擔心即使我有時不能寫信
Dont worry
即使我有時不能寫信
But I wont be able to write for a while
我哭了
I cried
我從未拉過其它男孩的手
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
大家說他還太年輕
Too young for him they told her
等待遠征戰士的愛
Waitin for the love of the travelin soldier
我們的愛情將永不消逝
Our love will never end
等待遠征戰士的回歸
Waitin for the soldier to come back again
不會再與寂寞相伴
Never more to be alone
當信上說戰士即將凱旋
When the letter says a soldiers coming home
在一個星期五晚的足球賽上
One Friday night at a football game
聖歌伴隨著領主的祈禱
The Lords Prayer said and the anthem sang
一個人說同胞們請低下頭去
A man said folks would you bow your heads
為了哀悼我們的同鄉死於越南
For the list of local Vietnam dead
看台下面傷心哭泣的
Cryin all alone under the stands
是行進樂隊的短笛手
Was the piccolo player in the marching band
沒有人真正在意一個死者的姓名
And one name read and no one really cared
除了那頭戴蝴蝶結年輕美麗的姑娘
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
我哭了
I cried
我從未拉過其它男孩的手
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
大家說他還太年輕
Too young for him they told her
等待遠征戰士的愛
Waitin for the love of the travelin soldier
我們的愛情將永不消逝
Our love will never end
等待遠征戰士的回歸
Waitin for the soldier to come back again
不會再與寂寞相伴
Never more to be alone
當信上說戰士即將凱旋
When the letter says a soldiers coming home
我哭了
