The Soldier’s Tale - Strawbs

The Soldier's Tale - Strawbs
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The watchers on the hillside stand in silence
山岗守望者静立无言
As the dawn appears
当晨光初现
Then they gather to their horses in an instant
他们瞬间集结至战马旁
As a sunshaft sears
阳光如刃刺破
Through the morning mist which hangs low in the valleys
晨雾低垂山谷间
Like a serpent's tail
似毒蛇尾蜿蜒
Both poisonous to enemies and heroes
对敌我皆致命
In the soldiers' tale
在士兵传说间
A lonely tower stands empty as a refuge
孤塔矗立无人栖 宛若避难所
By the sullen lake
傍着阴郁的湖面
As the straggle of survivors in their weakness
当疲惫的幸存者们踉跄前行
Make a grave mistake
犯下致命错误
For the crossroad sign which points towards the cost
指向海岸的十字路标
Is another nail
成为又一根钉子
In the 'cross of the Pretender and his comrades
钉入伪王与同党的十字架
In the soldiers' tale
在士兵传说间
The dream we once knew
我们曾熟知的梦想
Is now over
如今已破灭
The battle is lost
战斗已然失败
The retreat has begun
撤退的号角响起
Let us make our escape
让我们趁夜逃离
In the dead of the night
在死寂的深夜
While the lone widows wail
孤寡的哀嚎回荡
In the soldiers' tale
在士兵传说间
The French boat at the ready stands at anchor
法国船只整装待发 静静抛锚停泊
On the swollen tide
在汹涌的潮水上
His loyal followers raise a faint cheer
他的忠实追随者发出微弱欢呼
As he draws aside
当他黯然退场
The Pretender's 'cause is lost a sad farewell
伪王的事业已败 留下悲伤告别
As the boat sets sail
当船只扬帆起航
And the rain hurls down on the challenge of the gauntlet
暴雨倾盆而下 冲刷着铁手套的挑战
In the soldiers' tale
在士兵传说间
The soldiers' song is never sung
士兵的战歌从未唱响
The soldiers' battle never won
士兵的战役从未胜利
The soldiers' lives are bought an sold
士兵的生命被买卖交易
The soldiers' bayonets are cold
士兵的刺刀冰冷刺骨
The soldiers' guns are never fired
士兵的枪械从未开火
The soldiers' eyes are never tired
士兵的双眼永不疲倦
The soldiers' hearts are filled with hate
士兵的心中充满仇恨
A soldier's 'cause must ever wait
士兵的事业永远等待
