Newsreels rattle the Nazi dread
新闻片里纳粹阴影令人胆寒
The able-bodied have shipped away
健壮男儿都已远赴战场
Molly McGee gets her tea-leaves read
茉莉·麦吉用茶叶占卜姻缘
You'll be married in a month they say
占卜师说她月内将披嫁裳
These leaves are crazy
这些茶叶预言实在荒唐
Just look at this town there's no men left
你看这小镇已没有青年郎
Just frail old boys and babies
只剩垂暮老翁与襁褓儿郎
Talking to teacher in the treble clef
与高音谱号里的老师交谈
She plants her garden in the spring
她在春日里播种花园
She does the winter shoveling
冬日里独自铲雪劳作
Tokyo Rose talking on the radio
东京玫瑰的广播声在空气中飘荡
She says she's leavin' here but she don't go
她说要离开却始终未离去
Out of the blue just passing through
意外邂逅如晴空掠过
A young flight sergeant on two weeks leave
年轻的中士休假两周途经此地
Says"Molly McGee no one else will do"
对莫莉·麦吉说"非你不可"
And seals the tea leaf prophecy
茶签预言就此应验
Oh these nights are strong and soft
夜色温柔却暗涌激荡
Private passions and secret storms
私密情愫与暗处风暴
Nothin' about him ticks her off
他的所有都令她心醉
And he looks so cute in his uniform
军装衬得他格外俊朗
She plants her garden in the spring
她在春日里播种花园
He does the winter shoveling
他为寒冬铲雪开道
But summer's just a sneeze in a long long bad winter cold
但夏日不过是漫长寒冬里的一声轻叹
She says"I'm leavin' here" but she don't go
她总说"我要离开" 却从未启程
Sleep little darlin'
睡吧 亲爱的
This is your happy home
这是你幸福的家园
Hiroshima cannot be pardoned
广岛的伤痛无法被宽恕
Don't have kids when you get grown
长大后别要孩子吧
Because this world is shattered
因为这世界早已支离破碎
The wise are mourning the fools are joking
智者哀叹 愚者嬉笑
Oh what does it matter?
这又有什么要紧?
The wash needs ironing and the fire needs stoking
衣服要熨烫 炉火需添柴
She plants her garden in the spring
她在春日里播种花园
He does the winter shoveling
他为寒冬铲雪开道
The three of 'em laughing 'round the radio
三人围坐收音机旁谈笑
She says"I'm leavin' here" but she don't go
她总说"我要离开" 却从未启程
She plants her garden in the spring
她在春日里播种花园
They do the winter shoveling
他们在冬日里铲雪劳作
They sit up late and watch The Johnny Carson Show
深夜围坐 收看强尼卡森的节目
She says"I'm leavin' here" but she don't go
她总说"我要离开" 却从未启程
