Recruited Collier - Kate Rusby
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
"What's the matter with you me lass and where's your dashing Jimmy "

"Them soldier boys have picked him up and taken him far from me
那些士兵将他带走 从此远离我身旁
Last pay-day he went into town and them red-coated fellows
上次发饷日他进城去 遇见那些红衣军汉
Enticed him in and made him drunk and he'd better gone to the gallows
他们灌醉引诱他入伍 还不如让他上绞架
The very sight of his cockade it sets us all a-cryin' And me
看见他的军帽徽章 我们都泪流不止
I nearly fainted twice - I thought that I was dyin'
我两次几乎昏厥 以为生命将逝
Me father said he'd pay the smart and he'd run for the Golden Guinea
父亲说要花钱赎他 去追那黄金赎金
But the sergeant swore he'd kissed the book so now they've got young Jimmy
但中士发誓他已宣誓 如今他们带走了吉米
When Jimmy talks about the wars it's worse than death to hear him
每当吉米谈起战争 那比死亡更令我窒息
I must go out and hide me tears because I cannot bear him
我不得不躲起来抹泪 因我无法承受他的话语
A Brigadier or a Grenadier he says they're sure to make him
他说准会被编入步兵队 或是掷弹兵营里
So now he jibes and cracks his jokes and bids me not forsake him
此刻他强颜欢笑 只求我不要将他抛弃
As I walked o'er yon stubbled field - below where runs the seam
当我走过那片收割后的田野 沿着矿脉行走
I think on Jimmy hewing there but it was all a dream
恍惚看见吉米在砍煤的身影 原来只是梦游
He hewed the very coils we burn so when this fire I'm leetin'
他亲手劈开的煤块正在炉中燃烧
To think the lumps was in his hands - it sets me heart a-beating'
想到这些煤块曾被他触摸 我的心就怦怦跳
So break me heart and then it's o'er oh break me heart me dearie
那就击碎我的心吧 亲爱的 让这痛苦彻底结束
As I lie in this cold cold bed of a single life I'm weary weary
独卧寒衾度残生 寂寞长夜无尽消磨
