歌词
In April of 1775
在1775年四月
This great nation started comin' alive
这个伟大的国家开始成型
Ol' King George didn't like it one bit
老乔治看不惯
So he proceeded to throw him a royal fit
所以他打算送他一个皇家礼包
他让他的将军尽快把殖民地带回正轨
He told his generals better get 'em back in line
让他们接着缴税，毕竟美国是我的
Make 'em pay my taxes now America is mine
在成声势壮大之前干掉独立势力
Stop that Independence cops before it gets around
否则就难以管控了
Or it'll gonna be hard to hold them rebels down
国王正在谈论像保罗一样的人
这些人正在为自己的独立做努力
Well the King was talking bout the men like Paul Revere
他们日夜守望英国佬
And the minute men who held their dream of Independence dear
他们知道很快他们就有机会反抗
They kept their eyes on the British they watched 'em day and night
是的，他们知道英国佬很快就会走开
They knew very soon they'd get their chance to stand and fight
所以他们在北教堂塔楼约定了一个信号
当保罗看到了塔上的光
Yes they knew that the British would get movin' any hour
然后就开始了他的夜行
So they arranged a signal in the Northern Church Tower
他骑上他的马，开始疾奔
Paul was watchin' when the tower showed a light
他喊出他的警告
And he started on his midnight ride
“最好开始战斗”
他们来了，他们十分强壮
He jumped on his horse hoofs started a hummin'
第二天早上，在协和和列克星敦镇
He screamed out his warning redcoats're comin'
自由的精神开始战斗
Better get your guns and your fightin' britches on
当我们敬仰创造我们国家的人时
They're comin' and they're eight hundred strong
让我们记住保罗
我猜
Next mornin' at Concord and Lexington town
没有保罗的话我们就不能在这个国度
The spirit of freedom turned the redcoats around
是的，我确定
When we praise the men who made this mighty nation we have here
如果没有那个叫保罗的男人的话
Then let's remember Paul Revere yes let's remember Paul Revere
I guarantee you somethin' and I wanna tell you all
That we never would've been here if it hadn't been for Paul
Yes sir I surely doubt us ever bein' here
If it hadn't been for that man on that horse named Mr Revere
