The Colour Of The Earth - PJ Harvey

Louis was my dearest friend
路易是我最亲密的挚友
Fighting in the ANZAC trench
在澳新军团战壕中并肩战斗
Louis ran forward from the line
路易冲出了前线战壕
I never saw him again
从此我再也没能见到他
Later in the dark
后来在黑暗之中
I thought I heard Louis' voice
我仿佛听见路易的声音
Calling for his mother then me
先呼唤着他的母亲 然后是我
But I couldn't get to him
我却无法来到他身旁
He's still up on that hill
他仍长眠在那山岗
20 years on that hill
二十载岁月悠悠 山岗依旧
Nothing more than a pile of bones
唯余枯骨成堆
But I think of him still
而我思念从未休
If I was asked I'd tell
若有人问起当日
The colour of the earth that day
我会诉说那片土地的颜色
It was dull and browny red
那是暗沉的红褐
The colour of blood I'd say
我说 那是鲜血浸染的色泽
