以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Let's drink a toast to the admiral
让我们为海军上将举杯致敬
And here's to the captain bold
也为英勇的舰长干杯
And glory more for the commodore
当辉煌战绩被传颂时
When the deeds of might are told
愿准将获得更多荣光
They stand to the deck with the battle's wreck
他们在甲板上坚守阵地
When the great shells roar and pound
面对炮弹轰鸣与重击
And never they fear when the foe is near
当敌人逼近时毫无畏惧
To lay their orders down
誓死执行命令到底
But off with your hats and three times three
脱帽致敬 三呼万岁
For every sailor's son
为每位水手之子
For the men below who fight the foe
致敬舱底抗敌的勇士
The men behind the guns:
炮位后的真英雄：
Oh the men behind the guns
啊 炮位后的真英雄
Their hearts a-pounding heavy when
每当战舰左转时
They swing to port once more
他们心跳如雷
With never enough of the greenback stuff
却从未获得足够犒赏
They start for the leave ashore
他们启程离舰登岸
And you'd think perhaps the blue-blouse chaps
或许你会觉得蓝衫水手们
Had better clothes to wear
本该有更体面的装束
For the uniforms of officers
因军官们的笔挺制服
Could hardly be compared:
实在令人难以企及：
Warriors bold with straps of gold
勇士们金穗闪耀
That dazzle like the sun
如烈日般夺目耀眼
Outshine the common sailor boys
衬得普通水手黯然失色
The lads who serve the guns:
那些操纵炮位的勇士们：
Oh the men behind the guns
啊 炮位后的真英雄
Say not a word till the shot is heard
在炮声响起前 他们沉默不语
That tells the fight is on
直到战斗打响的信号传来
And the angry sound of another round
又一发炮弹愤怒的呼啸
That says there must be God
仿佛在诉说必有神明庇佑
Over the deep and the deadly sweep
越过深邃致命的海面
The fire and the bursting shell
炮火与炸裂的弹片交织
Where the very air is a mad despair
当空气中弥漫着绝望的疯狂
The throes of a living hell
如同置身炼狱般痛苦挣扎
But down and deep in a mighty ship
但在钢铁巨舰的幽深之处
Unseen by the midday sun
正午阳光也无法照进的地方
You'll find the boys who make the noise
你会找到那些制造轰鸣的勇士
The lads who serve the guns:
那些操纵炮位的勇士们：
Oh the men behind the guns
啊 炮位后的真英雄
And well they know the cyclone blow
他们深知飓风般的炮火威力
Loose from the cannon's steel
炮火撕裂钢铁之躯
The know the hull of the enemy ship
敌舰的船体在震颤
Will quiver with the peal
轰鸣声中瑟瑟发抖
And the decks will rock with the lightning shock
甲板在雷暴中摇晃
And shake with the great recoil
巨浪般的后坐力令天地震动
While the sea grows red
海面渐渐染红
With the blood of the dead
吞噬着阵亡者的鲜血
And swallows up her spoil
将战利品尽数吞没
But not until the final ship
直到最后一艘战舰
Has made her final run
完成她最后的航程
Can we give their rest to the very best:
我们才能向最英勇的战士致敬：
To the lads who serve the guns
那些坚守炮位的勇士们
Oh the men behind the guns
啊 炮位后的真英雄
So Let's drink a toast to the admiral
让我们为海军上将举杯
And here's to the captain bold
也为英勇的舰长干杯
And glory more for the commodore
当辉煌战绩被传颂时
When the deeds of might are told
愿准将获得更多荣光
They stand to the deck with the battle's wreck
他们在甲板上坚守阵地
When the great shells roar and pound
面对炮弹轰鸣与重击
And never they fear when the foe is near
当敌人逼近时毫无畏惧
To lay their orders down
誓死执行命令到底
But off with your hats and three times three
脱帽致敬 三呼万岁
For every sailor's son
为每位水手之子
For the men below who fight the foe
致敬舱底抗敌的勇士
The men behind the guns:
炮位后的真英雄：
Oh the man behind the gun
啊 炮位后的无名英雄
