The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Joan Baez
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down 歌词
Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on the Danville train
我叫作维吉尔·凯恩 正坐在去丹维尔的火车上
Till Stonewall's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
但"石墙"杰克逊的骑兵一到 前面的铁轨就又被拆了
In the winter of 'sixty-five, we were hungry, just barely alive
这是1865年的冬天 我们濒临饿死
I took the train to Richmond that fell
我又上了去里士满的火车
It was a time I remember, oh, so well
只记得那是 哦 顶好的一段时光
The night they drove old Dixie down
把南方佬打跑的那晚
And all the bells were ringin';
到处回荡着铃声
The night they drove old Dixie down
把南方佬打跑的那晚
And all the people were singin'; they went:
到处回荡着歌声 那歌声唱着:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦
Back with my wife in Tennessee
回田纳西找我的老婆
And one day she said to me
有一天她这样对我说
Virgil, quick come see
维吉尔 快来看看呀
There goes the Robert E. Lee
罗伯特·爱德华·李将军总算走了
Now I don't mind chopping wood
让我劈柴没问题
And I don't care if the money's no good
营生不好也无所谓
Just take what you need and leave the rest
他们要什么就拿什么吧
But they should never have taken the very best
但掠夺一空绝对是不可饶恕的啊
The night they drove old Dixie down
把南方佬打跑的那晚
And all the bells were ringin';
到处回荡着铃声
The night they drove old Dixie down
把南方佬打跑的那晚
And all the people were singin'; they went:
到处回荡着歌声 那歌声唱着:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦
La, la, la, la, la, la,la, la, la
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦
Like my father before me, I'm a working man
跟我老爹一样 我是个手艺人
And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand
跟我老兄一样 我是个叛逆人
Oh, he was just 18, proud and brave
哦 那时他才18岁 意气风发英勇无畏
But a yankee laid him in his grave
但被一个北佬送进了坟墓
I swear by the blood below my feet
我以祖宗之名向你保证
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
一旦凯恩家族的人被挫败 你再无法让他回头
The night they drove old Dixie down
把南方佬打跑的那晚
And all the bells were ringin';
到处回荡着铃声
The night they drove old Dixie down
把南方佬打跑的那晚
And all the people were singin'; they went:
到处回荡着歌声 那歌声唱着:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦
