Soldier asked my name into the I come here very often
士兵询问我的名字 问我是否常来此地
And further she was asking me to dance
她进一步邀我共舞
In my holy coat and hat
我身着圣洁衣冠
And him in his red bonnet
而他戴着红色军帽
We'd have made a lovely couple but
我们本该是天造地设的一对
We never had the chance
却终究错失良机
Now you say that you've gotta go
如今你说必须离去
Well if you must you must
若你执意要走 便走吧
I suppose that you need the sleep of the just
想必你需要一场心安理得的沉睡
Well it was a powerful day
那是个惊心动魄的日子
And there were black crows in the road
黑鸦盘踞在道路上
And I kept my strong opinions to my chest
我将炽热情感深藏心底
I suppose I should have told them that
或许我早该向他们坦白
I was on fire for you
我为你燃烧的痴狂
When the bus burst into flames outside some place
当巴士在某处燃起熊熊烈焰
The Poet's Rest'

Now you say you've gotta go
如今你说必须离去
Well if you must you must
若你执意要走 便走吧
I suppose that you need the sleep of the just
想必你需要一场心安理得的沉睡
A girl woke up in a naked light
少女在刺目光线下惊醒
And said Oh no not again
轻叹"不 别再如此"
He even looked like her brother in the army but
那军人轮廓酷似她兄长
She never mentions him
她却绝口不提
He'll be tucked up in his bed tonight
今夜他将蜷缩在床榻
With his dirty pictures girl
伴着那些不堪的画册姑娘
Saying 'You're some mother's daughter
喃喃着"你也是谁家的掌上明珠
You know or is it
或者说到底
Immaterial girl
不过是虚幻的玩偶"
Now she's pinned up upon
如今她的相片被钉在
The barracks wall in her home town
故乡军营斑驳的墙上
All the soldiers taking turns with their attentions
士兵们轮番投去炽热的目光
And as they speculate what
当他们在揣测着
She'd look like beneath that thin nightgown
那袭薄纱睡裙下的倩影
His family pride was rising up as
家族荣耀在他心头翻涌
He cast his eyes down
他却低垂了眼眸
Now you say that you've gotta go
如今你说必须离去
If you must you must
若不得不走 便走吧
I suppose that you need the sleep of the just
想必你需要一场心安理得的沉睡
