歌词

I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war

如果他们送我去打仗，我曾想当骑兵

I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before

我曾想像我祖先一样骑马飞奔

Courageous at first we took their worst, our positions we held stout

起初我们勇敢地坚守阵地，任凭敌人的猛击

We clung to belief and we hung on the speech from our trusted leaders'mouths

我们曾对指挥官的激励言语坚信不移

Overwhelming odds and a hopeless cause and our cities overrun

但是兵败如山，事业无望，城市接连沦陷

There were them that said we was badly led and called we were outgunned

终于有些人怀疑我们的领导不善，火力又不及

l lost count of the worthy mounts that from under me were cut

已经有数不清的骏马在我身下阵亡了

My favourite mare with her head in the air took the cannons in her gut

我最心爱的座骑也被炮弹击中

In the first two weeks on that bloody creek my brother lost his arm

腥风血雨不出两个星期，我兄弟没了手臂

Was only sixty days till all we prayed was get us home unharmed

不出六十天，我们只求能平安回家

Oh,for the day that we signed our names and the well that we were wished

噢，我仍记得报名参军的那一天祝福满满

The men's congrats and the pats on the backs and the ladies that we kissed

我们备受夸奖鼓励，女士们都与我们亲吻

The band that played and the grande parade and the patriotic shouts

那鼓舞人心的军乐队，大阅兵，与那爱国的口号

All faded fast,didn't even last till the uniforms wore out

还没等我们的制服穿破就消散了

And there were none to replace nor to help us face the winters cold and bleak

无人帮助我们抵御严冬

That chilled to the bone the pneumonia prone and froze our bootless feet

严寒刺骨，肺炎泛滥，那没鞋穿的冻伤的脚

Then the typhoid hit with its fevered fits,TB and dysentery

接着，伤寒伴随着发烧，肺结核和痢疾来袭

That proved in the end to have killed more men than the vilest enemy

事实证明，它杀死的人比最邪恶的敌人还多

We were finally forced to feed on horse and carcass we could scrounge

我们最终被迫以马和尸体为食

When the wagons stopped and we'd burnt their crops to charred and barren ground

因为补给也断了，而敌人的作物已被烧成焦土

With morale in doubt and our pride run out no honour did I see

士气低落，骄傲耗尽，我实在看不出战争有任何荣耀

All l seen were a thousand dreams piled dead in front of me

我只看到了上千具死去的“梦想”摞在我眼前

I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war

如果他们送我去打仗，我曾想当骑兵

l wanna be in the cavalry but I won't ride home no more

我想当骑兵，但我注定一去不还
