When The Tigers Broke Free (2011 - Remaster) - Pink Floyd (平克·弗洛伊德)

It was just before dawn
破晓前的片刻
One miserable morning in black '44
在阴郁的一九四四年 注定悲痛的清晨
When the forward commander
当前线的指挥官
Was told to sit tight
要求撤离战场之际
When he asked that his men be withdrawn
却被告知应该坚守住阵地
And the generals gave thanks
附夹着上将们致来的谢意
As the other ranks
敌军们的坦克受到
Held back the enemy tanks for a while
牵制的掩护下 军官们陆续撤退
And the Anzio bridghead was held for the price
安奇奥桥头堡得以保全而代价仅仅是
Of a few hundred ordinary lives
几百条再普通不过的生命
And kind old King George sent mother a note
年迈的国王乔治 在他知晓我父亲阵亡的消息后
When he heard that father was gone
寄向母亲一封信
It was I recall in the form of a scroll
那封信件 在我的印象里 呈卷轴状
With gold leaf and all
上头有金制叶片 我只能记起这么多了
And I found it one day
那天我发现了它
In a drawer of old photographs hidden away
在一个满是老照片的抽屉里 被埋在了底层
And my eyes still grow damp
此刻回想起这些
To remember
双眼仍旧饱含泪水
That his majesty signed
国王陛下署名其上
With his own rubber stamp
再盖上他的橡胶戳章
It was dark all around
战场 四周黯淡无光
There was frost in the ground
地面还结着冰霜
When the tigers broke free
在虎式坦克冲破防线之刻
And no one survived from the Royal Fusiliers
而皇家步兵团的士兵们
Company see
无人得以生还
They were all left behind
他们被置留在战场上
Most of them dead
绝大多数难逃一死
The rest of them dying
剩下的处在垂死边缘
And that's how the high command
这就是那些高层指挥官
Took my daddy from me
夺走我父亲的全部过程
