Written by:Pete Seeger
It was back in nineteen forty-two
那是一九四二年往事
I was a member of a good platoon
我曾服役于精锐连队
We were on maneuvers in a Loozianna
路易斯安那演习之夜
One night by the light of the moon
月光如水照征程
The captain told us to ford a river
上尉下令强渡河流
That's how it all begun
悲剧就此埋下伏笔
We were knee deep in the Big Muddy
浑浊河水没过膝盖
But the big fool said to push on
愚妄长官仍令前进
The sergeant said sir are you sure
中士请示长官是否确定
This is the best way back to the base
这是返回基地的最佳路线
Sergeant go on I forded this river
中士继续前进 我曾涉渡此河
About a mile above this place
就在上游一英里处
It'll be a little soggy but just keep slogging
虽会泥泞不堪但坚持跋涉
We'll soon be on dry ground
很快就能踏上干地
We were waist deep in the Big Muddy
我们已深陷大泥河
And the big fool said to push on
而那愚妄者仍下令推进
The sergeant said sir with all this equipment
中士报告说 长官 装备这么重
No man will be able to swim
没人能游得过去
Sergeant don't be a nervous Nellie
中士别像个胆小鬼
The captain said to him
上尉这样回应他
All we need is a little determination
我们只需要一点决心
Men follow me I'll lead on
弟兄们跟我来 我来带头
We were neck deep in the Big Muddy
我们已深陷大泥河
And the big fool said to push on
而那愚妄者仍下令推进
All at once the moon clouded over
霎时间乌云蔽月
We heard a gurgling cry
我们听见咕噜的呼喊
A few seconds later the captain's helmet
片刻后只剩队长的钢盔
Was all that floated by
在浊浪中沉浮飘荡
The sergeant said turn around men
中士下令全员撤退
I'm in charge from now on
此刻由我接管指挥
And we just made it out of the Big Muddy
当我们挣扎逃离泥泞深渊
With the captain dead and gone
队长已永远长眠
We stripped and dived and found his body
我们脱衣下水 寻得他的遗体
Stuck in the old quicksand
深陷在流沙之中
I guess he didn't know that the water was deeper
想必他未曾知晓 此处水深
Than the place he'd once before been
远胜他往日所经
Another stream had joined the Big Muddy
另一条支流汇入浑浊大河
About a half mile from where we'd gone
距我们涉足处半英里远
We were lucky to escape from the Big Muddy
我们侥幸逃离了这浑浊深渊
When the big fool said to push on
当那愚者下令继续向前
Well I'm not going to point any moral
我不愿妄下论断
I'll leave that for yourself
是非留待你分辨
Maybe you're still walking
或许你仍能行走
You're still talking
仍能开口
You'd like to keep your health
还想保全性命周全
But every time I read the papers
但每当翻开报纸
That old feeling comes on
那熟悉恐惧又浮现
We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
我们深陷泥潭之中
And the big fool says to push on
那个大傻瓜还在喊着继续前进
Waist deep in the Big Muddy
我们深陷泥潭 已至腰间
And the big fool says to push on
那个大傻瓜还在喊着继续前进
Waist deep in the Big Muddy
我们深陷泥潭 已至腰间
And the big fool says to push on
那个大傻瓜还在喊着继续前进
Waist deep neck deep
泥浆漫过腰间 漫过脖颈
Soon even a
很快连
Tall man'll be over his head
高个子也会被彻底淹没
We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
我们深陷泥潭之中
And the big fool says to push on
那个大傻瓜还在喊着继续前进
