以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When I landed in Vietnam
当我踏上越南的土地
I hardly got to see Saigon
几乎没能一睹西贡的风采
They shaped us up and called the roll
他们整顿队伍，点名报到
And off we went on a long patrol
随即我们踏上了漫长的巡逻之路
Swattin' flies swappin' lies
拍打着苍蝇，交换着谎言
Firing the odd shot here and there
偶尔在这里或那里开上一枪
The captain called a halt that night
那晚队长下令暂停前进
And we had chow by the pale moonlight
我们在苍白的月光下用餐
A lovely dinner they planned for us
他们为我们准备了一顿美好的晚餐
With a taste like a seat on a crosstown bus
味道却像在公交车上颠簸的座位
Some of the veterans left theirs in the cans
一些老兵把食物留在罐头里
For the Viet Cong to find
留给越共去发现
Deadlier than a land mine
比地雷还要致命
Well naturally somebody told a joke
自然有人讲了个笑话
And a couple of fellas began to smoke
几个家伙开始吞云吐雾
I took a whiff as a cloud rolled by
我吸了一口，烟雾缭绕
And my nose went up like an infield fly
我的鼻子像内野高飞球一样抬了起来
The captain this blonde fella from Yale said
队长，这个来自耶鲁的金发家伙说
"What's the matter with you baby "
“你怎么了，宝贝？”
Well I may be crazy but I think not
好吧，我可能疯了，但我不这么认为
I'd swear to God that I smell pot
我发誓我闻到了**的味道
But who'd have pot in Vietnam
但谁会在越南有**呢？
He said "What do you think you're sittin' on "
他说：“你以为你坐在什么上面？”
These funny little plants thousands of them
这些奇怪的小植物，成千上万
Good God Almighty Pastures of Plenty
天啊 丰饶的牧场
We all lit up and by and by
我们都点燃了烟 渐渐地
The whole platoon was flying high
整个排都飘飘欲仙
With a beautiful smile on the captain's face
队长脸上挂着灿烂的笑容
He smelled like midnight on St Mark's Place
他身上散发着圣马克广场午夜的香气
Cleaning his weapon chanting the Hare Krishna
他擦拭着武器 吟唱着哈瑞奎师那
The moment came as it comes to all
那一刻来临 如同它降临在所有人身上
When I had to answer nature's call
我不得不回应自然的呼唤
I was stumbling around in a beautiful haze
我在美丽的迷离中蹒跚前行
When I met a little cat in black P J 's
遇见了一个穿着黑色PJ的小猫
Rifle ammo-belt B F Goodrich sandals
步枪、弹药带、BF Goodrich凉鞋
He looked up at me and said
他抬头看着我说
"Whatsa' matta wit-choo baby "
“你怎么了，宝贝？”
He said "We're campin' down the pass
他说：“我们在山脚下扎营
And smelled you people blowin' grass
闻到你们在抽草
And since by the smell you're smokin' trash
但从气味来看，你们抽的是劣质货”
I brought you a taste of a special stash
我带来了一种特别的珍藏
Straight from Uncle Ho's victory garden
直接来自胡伯伯的胜利花园
We call it Hanoi gold "
我们称之为“河内黄金”
So his squad and my squad settled down
于是他的小队和我的小队坐下来
And passed some lovely stuff around
传递着一些美妙的东西
All too soon it was time to go
很快就是离开的时候了
The captain got on the radio
队长拿起了无线电
"Hello headquarters
“你好，总部
Hello headquarters
你好 总部
We have met the enemy
我们已经遇到了敌人
And they have been smashed "
并且他们已经溃败
