My Father’s Gun - Elton John

My Father's Gun - Elton John (艾尔顿·约翰)

From this day on
从今天起
I own my father's gun
爸爸的枪就属于我
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
我们在阳光下，为他挖下浅浅的坟墓
I laid his broken body down
我放下他破碎的身体
Below the southern land
将他埋葬在南方的土地里
It wouldn't do to bury him
任何侵略者
Where any Yankee stands
都休想把他带走
I'll take my horse
我会骑上我的马
And I'll ride the northern plain
朝着南方的平原驰骋而去
To wear the color of the greys
披上灰色的衣服
And join the fight again
再次加入战斗
I'll not rest until
我会不眠不休
I know the cause is fought and won
直到，我明白战争和胜利的意义
From this day on until I die
从今天起，直到死去
I'll wear my father's gun
我会接过父亲的枪
I'd like to know
我很想知道
Where the riverboat sails tonight
今夜，船会驶向哪里
To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
去新奥尔良，很好
Cause there's fighting there
因为那里战火连绵
And the company needs men
急需战士
So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
带着愤怒和杀气，继续航向河湾
As soon as this is over we'll go home
只要这一切结束，我们就回家
To plant the seeds of justice in our bones
在坟墓旁边，种下和平的种子
To watch the children growing
看着孩子们渐渐长大
And see the women sewing
看着女人们缝缝补补
There'll be laughter
当自由的钟声敲响
When the bells of freedom ring
会有欢声笑语响起
I'd like to know
我很想知道
Where the riverboat sails tonight
