Me and Yates an army buddy o'mine
我和Yates是我的战友
Were doin' three years in Germany at the time
当时我们在德国待了三年
We came upon these Frauleins in the bar
我们在酒吧里遇到了这些Fraulein
Yates said, "Darf isch zee be-gleit-en?", they said "Ya"
叶茨说你怎么了他们说你
And 'Darf isch zee be-gleit-en means?', 'Can we sit with you all?'
“我们能和你们坐在一起吗?”
Oh we must have drunk ten quarts of German beer
我们一定喝了十夸脱的德国啤酒
My conscience and my sinuses were clear
我问心无愧
I asked that Fraulein if she was a spy
我问那位小姐她是不是间谍
She said, "Nein but do bis ain bissel high"
她说不但是你现在很兴奋
A condition not uncommon to the American soldier
这种情况对美国士兵来说并不鲜见
Well, later on I went to be excused
后来我去请了个假
When I returned I was a bit confused
当我回来时我有点困惑
Yates and his Fraulein had hit the air
耶茨和他的Fraulein在空中飞舞
Another guy was sittin' in my chair
另一个人坐在我的椅子上
A young soldier whom we shall get to know better
一位年轻的士兵我们会更加了解他
I said, "Excuse me mister that's my seat
我说不好意思先生那是我的位置
I'd like to have it back sir if you please
如果你愿意的话我想把它拿回来
That girl's a nurse and I've been awful sick"
那个姑娘是个护士我最近病得很重
The man looked up at me and said, "Mox-nix"
那个人抬头看着我说Mox-nix
Which means that he was not overly concerned with my health
也就是说他并不太关心我的健康
Next thing I knew he had a switchblade knife
接下来我知道他有一把弹簧刀
Oh Lord, I didn't know that Fraulein was his wife
天哪我不知道弗劳琳是他的妻子
I took off through that Gasthaus like a fool
我像个傻瓜一样在加索斯大道上飞驰
Behind me I heard the crashing stools
在我身后,我听到了凳子的撞击声
As the police would say, he was in hot pursuit
正如警方所说他穷追不舍
Well, the waitress yelled there's MPs on the way
女服务员大喊警察来了
That's one more reason I didn't want to stay
这是我不愿留下的又一个理由
As I went out the window somethin' went switch
当我走出车窗有些事情发生了变化
And I giggled all the way home knowin' he missed
我一路傻笑着回家我知道他失手了
At the time it seemed like a laughing matter
在当时看来这不过是一件笑料
But next morning my coat was lyin' there on the bunk
但第二天早上我的外套就躺在床上
And when I saw that coat it made me jump
当我看到那件外套我吓了一跳
That man had cut my coat right down the back
那个男人把我的外套从后面剪了下来
A little bit more and they'd been playin' me taps
再多一点他们就开始模仿我
And knowin' the sad nature of that song I would decline it
我知道那首歌悲伤的本质我会拒绝它
Well, later on I heard that guy got stabbed
后来我听说那个家伙被刺伤了
They sent him home and didn't that make me glad
他们把他送回家难道我不高兴吗
On love and marriage I want to say one thing
关于爱情和婚姻我想说一句话
Oh lady, if you're married wear that ring
女士如果你结婚了那就戴上戒指吧
And the army has a new policy if you can't move it, paint it
而且部队出了新政策如果搬不动就刷漆
If it has a switchblade knife, salute it
如果它有弹簧刀,向它致敬
Not necessarily an incident one would want to write mother about
不一定是什么意外
Germany being full of good soldiers and good people
德国到处都是优秀的士兵和优秀的人民
