The Ballad Of Ira Hayes

歌词
Gather round you people And a story i will tell
聚过来吧各位,我将讲一个故事
About a brave young Indian you should remember well
关于一位勇敢年轻,你们应该牢记的印第安人
From the tribe of Pima Indians A proud and a peaceful band
来自皮马印第安部落,一个自豪且和平的团体
They farmed the Phoenix Valley in Arizona land
他们在亚利桑那州的土地耕种凤凰山谷
Down their ditches for a thousand years The sparkling water rushed
在他们的沟渠里波光粼粼的水奔流了上千年
Till the white man stole their water rights and the running water hushed
直到白人剥夺了他们的饮水权,流水就此缄默
Now Ira's folks were hungry And their farms grew crops of weeds
现在艾勒的家人都饥肠辘辘,家中的农场杂草丛生
But when war came he volunteered And forgot the white man's greed
但当战场来临时艾勒志愿出征,忘却了白人的贪婪
Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore
叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他已醉得不省人事
Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war
不是爱喝威士忌的印第安人,也不是出征的海军
Yes, call him, drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore
是的,叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他不会再做回答
Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war
不是爱喝威士忌的印第安人,也不是出征的海军
They started up Iwo Jima hill, two hundred and fifty men 250
人向硫磺岛冲去
But only 27 lived to walk back down that hill again
却只有27人活着下山
And when the fight was over And the old glory raised
当战斗结束,昔日的荣耀被重举
One of the men who held it high was the Indian Ira Hayes
其中一位被高高举起的人,就是印第安的艾勒.海斯
Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore
叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他已醉得不省人事
Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war
不是爱喝威士忌的印第安人,也不是出征的海军
Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore
叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他不会再做回答
Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war
不是爱喝威士忌的印第安人,也不是出征的海军
Now Ira returned a hero, celebrated throughout the land
现在艾勒成为了英雄,庆祝贯穿这片土地
He was wined and speeched and honored, everybody shook his hand
他受人们宾礼相待,每个人都来和他握手
But he was just a Pima Indian,no money,no crops,no chance
但他只是个皮马部落的印第安人,没有钱,没有庄稼,更没有机遇
And at home nobody cared what Ira had done And the wind did the Indian's dance
在家里没人关心艾勒的事迹,风吹起印第安之舞
Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore
叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他已醉得不省人事
Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war
不是爱喝威士忌的印第安人,也不是出征的海军
Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore
叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他不会再做回答
Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war
不是爱喝威士忌的印第安人,也不是出征的海军
And Ira started drinking hard, jail was often his home
艾勒开始酗酒,监狱常是他的住所
They let him raise the flag there and lower it like you'd throw a dog a bone
他们让他在那升降旗帜,就像丢骨头给狗吃一样
He died drunk early one morning, alone in the land he'd fought to save
他在一天清晨死于醉酒,孤身一人在这片他曾拯救过的土地
Two inches of water in a lonely ditch was the grave for Ira Hayes
孤零零水沟里的两英寸水就是艾勒·海斯的坟墓
Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore
叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他不会再做任何回应了
Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war
不是爱喝威士忌的印第安人,也不是出征的海军
Call him, drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore
叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他不会再做任何回应了
Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war
不是爱喝威士忌的印第安人,也不是出征海军
Yes, call him, drunken Ira Hayes, but his land is still as dry
是的,叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他的土地依旧干燥
And his ghost is lying thirsty in the ditch where Ira died
他的灵魂口渴着躺在他死去的水沟里
Call him, drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore
叫他酒鬼艾勒·海斯,他不会再做任何回应了
Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war
不是爱喝威士忌的印第安人,也不是出征的海军
