I Wanna Be In The Cavalry

I Wanna Be In The Cavalry - Seth Staton Watkins

Composed by：Corb Lund

I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war

如果他们把我送上战场 我想当个骑兵

I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before

就像我的祖辈一样 我想骑着骏马驰骋疆场

And I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds

在冲锋的号角响起之际 伴随着炮火的轰鸣

And I hear the cannons' roar

我骑着骏马冲锋陷阵

I wanna be in the cavalry if I must go off to war

如果我必须走上战场 我想当个骑兵

I wanna horse in the volunteer force that's riding forth at dawn

我想加入骑兵志愿军 在破晓时分骑马出发

Please save for me some gallantry that will echo when I'm gone

请给我一些勇气 在我离开之时回响

And I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge

在战线拉开时

When the battle lines are drawn

我请求长官让我带头冲锋

And lemme at least leave a good hoof beat

至少让我留下响亮的马蹄声

They'll remember loud and long

他们会记住那清脆而悠长的声音

I'd not a good foot soldier make

我不会成为一名优秀的步兵

I'd be sour and slow at March

行军途中 我双脚酸痛 步履缓慢

And I'd be sick on a navy ship

我在军舰上会晕船

And the sea would leave me parched

海水让我变得口干舌燥

But I'll be first in line if they'll let me ride

但如果他们让我骑马冲锋 我会冲在最前面

By god you'll see my starch

你会看到我英勇无畏的样子

Lope back o'er the heath with the laurel wreath

从荒原上胜利归来 佩戴着桂冠

Underneath that vict'ry arch

站在凯旋门下面

I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war

如果他们把我送上战场 我想当个骑兵

I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before

就像我的祖辈一样 我想骑着骏马驰骋疆场

And I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds

在冲锋的号角响起之际 伴随着炮火的轰鸣

And I hear the cannons' roar

我骑着骏马冲锋陷阵

I wanna be in the cavalry if I must go off to war

如果我必须走上战场 我想当个骑兵

Let me earn my spurs in the battle's blur

在那一决胜负的战争里

Where the day is lost or won

我收获属于自己的战利品

I'll wield my lance as the ponies dance

我会挥舞着长矛 骑着骏马驰骋

And the blackguards fire their guns

伴随着敌人的炮火

And a sabre keen and a saddle carbine

拿着一把马刀 一支卡宾枪

And an army Remington

还有一支雷明顿手枪

Where the hot lead screams with the cold cold steel

在那铅弹横飞 刀光剑影的战场上

Let me be a cav'lryman

请让我当个骑兵

I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war

如果他们把我送上战场 我想当个骑兵

I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before

就像我的祖辈一样 我想骑着骏马驰骋疆场

And I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds

在冲锋的号角响起之际 伴随着炮火的轰鸣

And I hear the cannons' roar

我骑着骏马冲锋陷阵

I wanna be in the cavalry if I must go off to war

如果我必须走上战场 我想当个骑兵

Let 'em play their flutes and stirrup my boots

让他们吹响笛子 脚踩马镫

And place them back to front

翻身上马 重返前线

For I won't be back on the rider-less black

因为我不会留下无人驾驭的骏马

And I'm finished in my hunt

我在战斗中圆满完成任务

I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war

如果他们把我送上战场 我想当个骑兵

I wanna be in the cavalry but I won't ride home no more

我想当个骑兵 但我再也无法回到家乡
