With God on Our Side (Live at Sony Music Studios, New York, NY - November 1994) - Bob Dylan

Oh my name it ain't nothin' my age it means less
我的身份微不足道，不值提起
The country I come from is called the Midwest
我来自美国西部的一个小村庄
I was taught and brought up there all the laws to abide
在那儿土生土长，信奉着那里的法律
And that land that I live in has God on its side
那片净土，犹如上帝的乐土
Oh the history books tell it they tell it so well
人们口口相传
The cavalries charged and the Indians fell
军官占领，印度安人沦陷了
The cavalries charged and the Indians died
军官占领，这个民族开始没落
Oh the country was young with God on its side
这国家还年轻，得到了上帝的庇护
Oh the Spanish-American war had its day
美西战争的那一天
And the civil war too was soon laid away
内战还没硝烟
And the names of the heroes I was made to memorize
战争中的英雄，名垂千史
With guns in their hands and God on their side
枪支在手，神护在旁
The first world war boys it came and it went
第一次世界大战，来了，结束
The reason for fighting I never could get
找不到战争开始的理由
But I learned to accept it accept it with pride
我只是慢慢学会接受，学会忍耐
Now you don't count the dead when God's on your side
守护在旁时，你已数不尽逝去的人们
But now we got weapons of a chemical dust
如今的化学武器
If fire 'em were forced to then fire them we must
若战火汹涌，它们将
One push of the button and a shot the world wide
一触即发，将世界推向尽头
And you never ask questions when God's on your side
上帝在你身边的时候，你从不问缘由
In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' about this
无数黑夜，我独自思考着
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
**被一个吻出卖
But I can't think for you you'll have to decide
我无法为你着想，我必须决定
Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side
迦略犹太人是否在上帝的一侧
So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as hell
如今我远去了，疲惫不堪
The confusion I'm feelin' ain't no tongue can tell
心中的困惑难以言表
The words fill my head and they fall to the floor
话音落下，深印心里
And if God is on our side He'll stop the next war
若上帝在我们一侧，他会让下一场战争停止的
