And kind old King George sent Mother a note When he heard that Father was gone.
当得知我的父亲已经牺牲，老好人乔治国王寄给我母亲一封信
It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll,With gold leaf and all.
信的样子——让我想想——是张卷轴，里面是真真儿的金黄色的纸张
And I found it one day In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
后来有一天我在放旧照片的抽屉里找着了这封被藏起来的信
And my eyes still grow damp to remember His Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp.
每当想到老国王不经验证就在写有父亲死讯的信上盖章，我的眼睛就不禁变得湿润
It was dark all around, there was frost in the ground
那时候四周一片惨淡，地面上结满了冰霜
When the Tigers broke free.
当虎式坦克冲破防线
And no one survived From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
没有人能够从皇家燧发枪手团的枪口下幸免
They were all left behind,
他们全都被抛弃在了战场
Most of them dead, the rest of them dying.
他们中的大多数战死了，侥幸的也是奄奄一息
And that's how the High Command Took my daddy from me.
盟军的最高指挥就是如此这般地把我父亲从我身边夺走了
