With God on Our Side (Live at Sony Music Studios, New York, NY - November 1994) - Bob Dylan

Oh my name it ain't nothin' my age it means less

我的身份微不足道，不值提起

The country I come from is called the Midwest

我来自美国西部的一个小村庄

I was taught and brought up there all the laws to abide

在那儿土生土长，信奉着那里的法律

And that land that I live in has God on its side

那片净土，犹如上帝的乐土

Oh the history books tell it they tell it so well

人们口口相传

The cavalries charged and the Indians fell

军官占领，印度安人沦陷了

The cavalries charged and the Indians died

军官占领，这个民族开始没落

Oh the country was young with God on its side

这国家还年轻，得到了上帝的庇护

Oh the Spanish-American war had its day

美西战争的那一天

And the civil war too was soon laid away

内战还没硝烟

And the names of the heroes I was made to memorize

战争中的英雄，名垂千史

With guns in their hands and God on their side

枪支在手，神护在旁

The first world war boys it came and it went

第一次世界大战，来了，结束

The reason for fighting I never could get

找不到战争开始的理由

But I learned to accept it accept it with pride

我只是慢慢学会接受，学会忍耐

Now you don't count the dead when God's on your side

守护在旁时，你已数不尽逝去的人们

But now we got weapons of a chemical dust

如今的化学武器

If fire 'em were forced to then fire them we must

若战火汹涌，它们将

One push of the button and a shot the world wide

一触即发，将世界推向尽头

And you never ask questions when God's on your side

上帝在你身边的时候，你从不问缘由

In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' about this

无数黑夜，我独自思考着

That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss

**被一个吻出卖

But I can't think for you you'll have to decide

我无法为你着想，我必须决定

Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side

迦略犹太人是否在上帝的一侧

So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as hell

如今我远去了，疲惫不堪

The confusion I'm feelin' ain't no tongue can tell

心中的困惑难以言表

The words fill my head and they fall to the floor

话音落下，深印心里

And if God is on our side He'll stop the next war

若上帝在我们一侧，他会让下一场战争停止的
