Nebraska

来自美国内布拉斯加州的小镇青年因为911事件，而参加伊拉克战争，想起家乡时的生活。但是现在的他看到太多死伤别离，也不知能否还能活著回去。是一首相当悲情的歌。

Nebraska已不再是我

I’m a farm boy from Nebraska, where the cornrows grow
What the hell am I doing in this desert now, so many miles from my home?

I’m a farm boy from Nebraska, where the cornrows grow
What the hell am I doing in this desert now, so many miles from my home?

Just out of high school, thought I knew it all
But when they bombed the towers and my country needed me, I answered the call
I joined the Marines and I went off to fight for freedom in a foreign land
With old glory fluttering in my eyes, and a rifle in my hand

Now I have killed and I’ve seen killing done
The boy I was is gone, my fathers son, long gone, long gone
And the things I’ve seen make it so I can’t sleep anymore, and I lie awake at night
And I wait for the dawn to come and I wonder if everything’s going to be alright Be alright
此时此刻，我已经杀了许多敌人，我看到许多死亡，
我父亲的儿子，那个自以为是的年轻人久已不复存在，
所有残酷的杀戮一直放映在我眼前使我整夜无法入睡，
我等待著等待著天明，
我不知道天明后是不是一切都无恙。
And I think of a girl who’s missing me
I loved her before
And getting back to see her again is the only thing that I can see here worth living for
This place has changed me, Lord, but I hope she’ll love me just the same
And if I die over here, Lord
I hope she’ll remember my name
我想著我爱过的那个女孩，或许她也正在想著我，
我认为唯一活著还值得的是，能再见她一面，
神阿，这个无情的战场已经改变了我，我已不再是我，
我只求她还是一样爱我，
神阿，如果我死在这战场，我希望她还能记得我名字，
I hope she’ll remember
I hope she’ll remember
I hope she’ll remember
Remember my name
我希望她还记得我名字
记得我名字
