When Johnny Came Marching Home - David Rovics
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
He got off the plane and looked at no one

He walked down the tarmac in the direction of nowhere
他沿着停机坪漫无目的地走着
He followed the sun as it was setting
追随着西沉的落日
Glad to be done with all the bloodletting
庆幸终于远离了腥风血雨
There were no banners for the proud and the few
没有横幅迎接这些骄傲的少数人
Just workers in airports that do what they do
只有机场工人重复着日常工作
Fuel up the planes unload the bags
给飞机加油 卸下行李
Along with the coffins all covered in flags
还有那些覆盖着国旗的棺椁
When Johnny came marching home
当约翰尼荣归故里
The town he was from was a dead little place
故乡小镇已死气沉沉
So he looked for a job somewhere off base
他只得去远方寻找工作
In this city of pawn shops and hotels and bars
在这满是当铺旅馆酒吧的城里
Gas stations strip clubs highways and cars
加油站脱衣舞俱乐部高速公路和汽车
He went to a dive ordered a beer
他走进廉价酒吧要了杯啤酒
Said turn the music up loud so it's all that
说把音乐开到最大声直到
I hear
我耳中只剩喧嚣
Try to rewind turn back the years
试图倒转时光 让岁月重来
Stop the explosions between my ears
止息耳畔轰鸣的爆炸声响
When Johnny came marching home
当约翰尼荣归故里
The jobs were all sh and the beer it was
工作尽是苦差 啤酒廉价
Cheap
廉价
And besides there was no other way he could sleep
除此之外他别无入眠良方
Still the screams and the guns would wake him at
枪声与惨叫仍在深夜
Night
将他惊醒
And he was always on edge and ready to fight
他总是紧绷神经 随时准备战斗
And when he closed his eyes he would just see
每当闭上双眼 眼前就会浮现
The face
那张
Of a woman he killed in a far away place
在远方被他夺去生命的女子脸庞
Over and over the white of her eye
她惨白的眼白不断闪现
And her final and terrible terrified cry
还有最后那声惊恐万分的惨叫
When Johnny came marching home
当约翰尼荣归故里
After just a short time his health fell apart
短短时日 他的健康便每况愈下
With an ache in the joints and such a thump
关节隐隐作痛 心如擂鼓般震颤
In the heart
在胸腔深处
And the doctor just told him it's all in his
医生却告诉他这只是
Head
臆想
But he couldn't stop drinking or get out of bed
他戒不掉酒瘾 终日卧床不起
And with no place to go but the wrong way
无路可走 唯有堕落沉沦
It was a shock to his ears when he heard
当听见自己开口时
Himself say
连他自己都震惊不已
Over and over to anyone within range
一遍又一遍 向每个路过的人乞求
Hey mister can you spare some change
先生 能施舍些零钱吗
When Johnny came marching home
当约翰尼荣归故里
