Ah, Forget It (Remastered 2017) - Slim Dusty
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I recollect his joining
犹记他初入行伍
I liked him from the first
一见便觉投契
His smile was everlasting
笑容永远灿烂
Unquenchable his thirst
豪饮从未停歇
Oh I ventured once to ask him
我曾斗胆相询
What made him take to booze
为何贪恋杯盏
He muttered ah forget it
他笑叹莫再提
I drink because I choose
但凭本心而醉
It wasn't quite an answer
这并非真正的答案
He saw that I'd was hurt
他见我负伤在身
And hastened to repair things
急忙前来照料
But ah forget it first
却先让我忘却痛楚
I didn't mean to snub you
我并非有意冷落你
Then shook me by the hand
随后紧握我的手
A woman but forget it
虽为女子但请释怀
I said
我说
I understand
我明白
Then he shouted me a whiskey
他豪爽地请我喝了杯威士忌
And paid for two or three
还主动付了两三杯的酒钱
And grumbled ah forget it
当我坚持要请客时
When I said This one's on me
他摆摆手说"别在意"
His heart was like old Phar Laps
他的心胸如同传奇赛马Phar Lap般
As big and just as great
宽广而伟大
And many a needy cobber
多少困顿的战友
A helping hand he gave
他都伸出援手
When came the day for sailing
当启程之日来临
To foreign parts unknown
驶向未知异乡
We all had friends to cheer us
我们都有亲友相送
But he was there alone
唯独他孤身一人
Until the grey haired lady
直到那位白发妇人
A mothers eyes alight
母亲眼中闪着光
Said son I'll keep on praying
孩子 我会日夜为你祈祷
For you both day and night
无论白昼或黑夜
With ah forget it mother
啊 别担心 妈妈
Those things will be ok
一切都会好起来的
We stumbled up the gangplank
我们踉跄踏上跳板
And so we sailed away
就这样扬帆远航
Well soon the old battalion
很快 我们这支老队伍
Was fighting in the line
就投入了前线战斗
And you know finer hero
你可知最英勇的英雄
Than this old friend of mine
莫过于我这位老友
One night out in the jungle
那夜在丛林深处
When we had made a break
当我们突围之际
I learned just why the digger
我才真正明白为何
Is the bravest thing God made
战士是上帝最勇敢的造物
Wounded in the shell hole
弹坑中他身负重伤
And wallowing in mire
深陷泥泞仍不屈服
The battle stormed around me
战火在我四周肆虐
With crackling rifle fire
枪声噼啪作响
Machine guns loudly stuttered
机枪轰鸣不断
And swept the shell hole rim
扫射着弹坑边缘
When someone dropped beside me
有人倒在我身旁
Oh I knew that it was him
啊 我知道那就是他
And his cheery voice was saying
他爽朗的声音传来
Buck up
振作起来
This wars a cow
这场战争真该死
But ah forget it cobber
但老兄啊 别放在心上
For I'll get ya back somehow
我总会想办法带你回家
Despite that mad infernal
尽管那地狱般的炮火
He safely brought me through
他仍护我平安脱险
But not before the other side
可还没等撤到后方
Had badly got him too
他自己却身负重伤
In choking words I thanked him
我哽咽着向他道谢
Though dying he would gain
虽死犹荣
He said ah gee forget it
他说"嘿 别在意"
Ah you would have done the same
"换作是你 也会如此"
His rugged face was greying
他沧桑的面容渐显灰白
I knew it was the end
我知道结局已至
I better man than I am
这位比我更伟大的人
Had died to save his friend
为救挚友献出生命
And when he comes to judgment
当审判之日来临
Oh I know just what he'll say
我知他会如何诉说
Dear God I am unfitted
亲爱的上帝 我本不配
To tread the holy way
踏上这神圣征途
I've gone my way unheeding
我曾恣意独行
Just lived a life of sin
虚度罪孽人生
But God the Just will answer
但公正的上帝应允
Forget it son come in
孩子 进来吧 既往不咎
