A word or two to Mary please write a letter for me
请代我给玛丽写封信 捎去几句心里话
That's what my buddy said to me today
今日战友对我如此嘱托
I couldn't keep from crying sad eyes are looking at me
泪眼相对难自抑 悲戚目光凝望我
He said I'll tell you what I wanted to say
他说要将未尽之言相托付
Oh I don't mind dying I just hate to leave you alone
赴死我无所惧 唯恐留你独飘零
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
多想亲眼见证孩儿们长成
But there's no use denying I won't be coming back home
但事实终须直面 此去再无归家程
Just a word or two to you before I go
临别前 让我对你说几句心里话
Down on my knees beside him I begged my buddy to live
跪在他身旁 我哀求挚友活下去
I told the Lord to please take me instead
我祈求上帝 请带走我的生命
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give
但他只来得及 给玛丽留下只言片语
And just these words were all your husband said
这就是你丈夫最后的嘱托
A word or two to Mary I must add some of my own
给玛丽的遗言里 容我添上几句心声
He was the truest friend I ever had
他是我此生最真挚的知己
I'll keep writing letters to her and help the children along
我会继续给她写信 照料孩子们成长
Tell them in a way that it's from their dad
以父亲的口吻写信告诉他们
He didn't mind dying he just hated to leave you alone
他并不畏惧死亡 只是不忍留你们独自面对
And he wished that he could see his children grow
他多希望能看着孩子们长大成人
I'll be standing by them as I know he'd want me to
我会如他所愿 一直守护在他们身旁
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
随着孩子们成长 我也会时常给玛丽写信
