Stung Right
When I was hiking 'round the town to find a job one day,
那天我在城里逛来逛去找工作
I saw a sign, "A thousand fools are wanted right away,
看见个标语写着“现诚招一千个傻瓜
To take a trip around the world in Uncle Sammy's fleet."
加入山姆大叔的舰队环游世界!”
I signed my name a dozen times upon a great big sheet.
在填了一堆表格之后
I was stung right, stung right, S-T-U-N-G,
才发现我被骗了 被骗了 被-骗-了
Stung right, stung right, E. Z. Mark, that's me;
被骗了 被骗了 我E.Z.Mark 被骗了
When my term is over, and again I'm free,
待我服役期满重得自由
There'll be no more trips around the world for me.
我再也不会想着搞什么环游世界
The recruiter said, "The U. S. Fleet, that is no place for slaves,
征兵官说“我们美军的舰队里不需要你们干苦力
The only thing you have to do is stand and watch the waves."
你们要做的就是在船上看海”
But in the morning, five o'clock, they woke me from my snooze,
但大清早五点钟我就被闹醒
To scrub the deck and polish brass and shine the captain's shoes.
被弄去洗刷甲板和黄铜 给军官刷鞋
I was stung right, stung right, S-T-U-N-G,
才发现我被骗了 被骗了 被-骗-了
Stung right, stung right, E. Z. Mark, that's me;
被骗了 被骗了 我E.Z.Mark 被骗了
When my term is over, and again I'm free,
待我服役期满重得自由
There'll be no more trips around the world for me.
我再也不会想着搞什么环游世界
Some time ago when Uncle Sammy had a war with Spain,
以前山姆大叔曾和西班牙打过仗(译注:指1898年的美西战争)
And many of the boys in blue were in the battle slain,
许多穿海魂衫的小伙子们在战斗中死去
Not all were killed by bullets, though, not by any means,
但害死他们的也并不全是炮弹
The biggest part that died were killed by Armour's Pork and Beans.
最大的罪魁祸首是那罐头猪肉豌豆
I was stung right, stung right, S-T-U-N-G,
才发现我被骗了 被骗了 被-骗-了
Stung right, stung right, E. Z. Mark, that's me;
被骗了 被骗了 我E.Z.Mark 被骗了
When my term is over, and again I'm free,
待我服役期满重得自由
There'll be no more trips around the world for me.
我再也不会想着搞什么环游世界
