I recollect his joining

I liked him from the first
第一眼便心生欢喜
His smile was everlasting

Unquenchable his thirst
热情似火永不熄灭
Oh I ventured once to ask him
我曾斗胆问他缘由
What made him take to booze
为何总与烈酒为伴
He muttered ah forget it
他轻声说何必再提
I drink because I choose
痛饮只因我心所向
It wasn't quite an answer
这并非真正的答案
He saw that I'd was hurt
他看出我受了伤
And hastened to repair things
急忙想要弥补
But ah forget it first
但啊 先别放在心上
I didn't mean to snub you

Then shook me by the hand
随后紧握住我的手
A woman but forget it
一位女士 但别在意
I said

I understand

Then he shouted me a whiskey
他豪爽地请我喝威士忌
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
他笑着摆手说"别在意"
His heart was like old Phar Laps
他的胸怀如传奇赛马Phar Lap般宽广
As big and just as great
同样伟大而崇高
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
驶向未知的远方
We all had friends to cheer us
我们都有亲友送别
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
母亲眼中闪着泪光
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
算了吧 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
就此扬帆远航
Well soon the old battalion
很快我们这支老部队
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
那夜丛林深处
When we had made a break
我们突围之际
I learned just why the digger
我才真正明白
Is the bravest thing God made
为何战士是上帝最勇敢的造物
Wounded in the shell hole
弹坑中负伤
And wallowing in mire
深陷泥泞挣扎
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
这场战争残酷如牛
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
他仍护我安然脱险
But not before the other side
可还没等抵达安全地带
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
我明白大限已至
I better man than I am
这位比我更勇敢的战士
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
我深知他会这样说
Dear God I am unfitted
亲爱的上帝 我不配
To tread the holy way
踏上这神圣之路
I've gone my way unheeding
我曾一意孤行
Just lived a life of sin
过着罪恶的生活
But God the Just will answer
但公正的上帝会回应
Forget it son come in
别在意 孩子 进来吧
