Two days past eighteen<18岁刚过两天>
He was waitin\' for the bus in his army green<他穿着绿色的军装等待汽车>
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there<在一个露天的咖啡座坐下>
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair<向着一个戴蝴蝶结的女孩点餐>
He\'s a little shy so she gives him a smile<她冲着害羞的男孩微笑>
And he said would you mind sittin\' down for a while<男孩说你介意坐下一会儿>
And talkin\' to me<陪我聊聊天吗>
I\'m feelin\' a little low<因为我有点情绪低落>
She said I\'m off in an hour<她说我有一小时休息时间>
And I know where we can go<我知道我们可以去哪里坐坐>
So they went down and they sat on the pier<他们一起坐在码头上>
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don\'t care<他说我打赌你有男友但是我不会在乎>
I got no one to send a letter to<无人与我写信来往>
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?<你是否介意我与你书信交往？>
I cried<我哭了>
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy<我从未拉过其它男孩的手>
Too young for him they told her<大家说他还太年轻>
Waitin\' for the love of the travelin\' soldier<等待远征战士的爱>
Our love will never end<我们的爱情将永不消逝>
Waitin\' for the soldier to come back again<等待远征战士的回归>
Never more to be alone<不会再与寂寞相伴>
When the letter said a soldier\'s coming home<当信上说战士即将凯旋>
So the letters came from an army camp<军中不断发来信件>
In California then Vietnam<从加州到越南>
And he told her of his heart It might be love<他向她倾诉衷肠 表达爱意>
And all of the things he was so scared of<他说战争的一切令他十分恐惧>
He said when it\'s gettin kinda tough over here<每当那里情况严峻的时候>
I think of that day sittin\' down at the pier<我都会想起那日码头共坐>
And close my eyes and see your pretty smile<我闭上双眼就能回忆起你那甜美微笑>
Don\'t worry but I won\'t be able to write for a while<不要担心 即使我有时不能写信>

One Friday night at a football game<在一个星期五晚的足球赛上>
The Lord\'s Prayer said and the anthem sang<圣歌伴随着领主的祈祷>[!--empirenews.page--]
A man said folks would you bow your heads<一个人说同胞们请低下头去>
For a list of local Vietnam dead<为了哀悼我们的同乡死于越南>
Cryin\' all alone under the stands<看台下面伤心哭泣的>
Was a piccolo player in the marching band<是行进乐队的短笛手>
And one name read and nobody really cared<没有人真正在意一个死者的姓名>
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair<除了那头戴蝴蝶结年轻美丽的姑娘>
When the letter said a soldier\'s coming<当信上说战士即将凯旋>
