The Colour Of The Earth

Louis was my dearest friend
路易斯是我最好的朋友
Fighting in the ANZAC trench
他為紐澳軍團作戰
Louis ran forward from the line
路易斯他衝鋒在最前線
I never saw him again
後來我再也沒看見他
Later in the dark
黑暗中我聽到呼叫

我想那是路易斯的聲音
I thought I heard Louis voice
他喊著媽媽接著喊了我的名字
Calling for his mother, then me
但我怎麼也找不到他
But I couldnt get to him
他一直在那個山頭上
Hes still up on that hill
二十年了一直在那兒
20 years on that hill
不過是一捧白骨

但我依然想念他
Nothing more than a pile of bones
如果有人問到我

那天地球的顏色
But I think of him still
“是褐紅色，

是血的顏色”，我會說。
If I was asked Id tell

The colour of the earth that day

It was dull and browny red

The colour of blood, Id say
