我不会寿终正寝
因为有人告诉我死亡已在身边
我不会允许自己伏地而死
在装进棺穴的时候，我的头要高高昂起
让我死在自己的足迹里
在我寿终正寝之前
I will not go down under the ground
"Cause somebody tells me that death's comin' 'round
An' I will not carry myself down to die
When I go to my grave my head will be high,
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.
战争的流言和战争的开始
生活的意义已随风而逝
人们认为死亡已经临近
他们不再学习如何生活，而在学习如何死亡
让我死在自己的足迹里
在我寿终正寝之前
There's been rumors of war and wars that have been
The meaning of the life has been lost in the wind
And some people thinkin' that the end is close by
"Stead of learnin' to live they are learning to die.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.
我不知道我是否聪明，但我想我能预见
当我们正被欺骗
如果这场战争到来，死亡无处不在
就让我死在这片土地，在我寿终正寝之前
让我死在自己的足迹里
在我寿终正寝之前
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see
When someone is pullin' the wool over me
And if this war comes and death's all around
Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.
战争引发了人类的恐惧
他们谈论它已多年
我了解了他们的观点却从不开口发言
可是上帝，现在请让他们听到我贫瘠的呐喊
让我死在自己的足迹里
在我寿终正寝之前
There's always been people that have to cause fear
They've been talking of the war now for many long years
I have read all their statements and I've not said a word
But now Lawd God, let my poor voice be heard.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.
如果我有珍宝、财富和皇冠
我会买下整个世界并改造
我会把全部的枪和坦克扔进海
因为它们是一个历史的错误
让我死在自己的足迹里
在我寿终正寝之前
If I had rubies and riches and crowns
I'd buy the whole world and change things around
I'd throw all the guns and the tanks in the sea
For they are mistakes of a past history.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.
让我喝涌出的山涧之水
让我嗅沁入心脾的野花之香
让我睡在你的牧场上，与青青绿草为伍
让我在恬淡中与兄弟自由的漫步
让我死在自己的足迹里
在我寿终正寝之前
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.
走出你的光明之地
去看看炮弹留下的痕迹
内华达，新墨西哥，亚利桑那，爱达荷
让这国家的每个州都渗入你的灵魂
你将死在自己的足迹里
在你寿终正寝之前
Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this union seep in your souls.
And you'll die in your footsteps
Before you go down under the ground.
