原歌词

[00:21.777]	We were here blowing out birthday cakes
[00:24.990]	Riding our bikes, jumping in lakes
[00:27.404]	Feeling butterflies on our first dates
[00:30.145]	And stealing our old man's beer
[00:32.417]	We were here back home in the home of the brave
[00:35.441]	But the brave ain't home, they're an ocean away
[00:38.323]	Doing their job, keeping us safe
[00:41.705]	While we were here
[00:43.485]	They were there, fighting back on the front lines
[00:46.439]	Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
[00:49.478]	Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
[00:54.378]	They were there in the name of a hometown
[00:57.198]	Of a last name that was passed down
[00:59.948]	Every day, every night, every moment we were here
[01:05.212]	They were there
[01:06.412]	(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:10.652]	They were there
[01:11.803]	(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:16.261]	We were here saying the Pledge of Allegiance
[01:19.455]	Repeating those words, not knowing their meaning
[01:22.341]	Taking for granted all our freedoms
[01:25.356]	In the land of the free
[01:27.172]	We were here ******** about minimum wage
[01:30.420]	Splitting ourselves into red and blue states
[01:33.173]	And still sat down, hot food on the plate
[01:35.683]	Yeah, while we were here
[01:37.982]	They were there, fighting back on the front lines
[01:40.872]	Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
[01:43.916]	Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
[01:48.759]	They were there in the name of a hometown
[01:51.614]	Of a last name that was passed down
[01:54.524]	Every day, every night, every moment we were here
[01:59.662]	They were there
[02:00.876]	(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:05.341]	They were there
[02:06.383]	(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:10.852]	They were there
[02:13.826]	Giving everything they got
[02:16.062]	Yeah, they were there
[02:19.079]	Some came home in a pinewood box
[02:21.611]	With those stars and stripes on top
[02:27.276]	They were there, fighting back on the front lines
[02:29.964]	Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
[02:33.204]	Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
[02:37.962]	They were there in the name of a hometown
[02:40.840]	Of a last name that was passed down
[02:43.694]	Every day, every night, every moment we were here
[02:49.048]	They were there
[02:50.027]	(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:54.385]	They were there
[02:55.465]	(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:00.627]	(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:06.375]	(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

歌词翻译

[00:21.777]	我们曾在此吹熄蛋糕上的蜡烛
[00:24.990]	骑车四处穿行在湖岸边尽情嬉戏
[00:27.404]	也会因为第一次约会紧张兮兮
[00:30.145]	故作成熟把老爸的啤酒偷来喝
[00:32.417]	我们曾在此在这勇敢的故里
[00:35.441]	而真正的勇士并不在家而是远隔重洋
[00:38.323]	恪尽职守保卫我们的安全
[00:41.705]	正当我们在这里时
[00:43.485]	他们远在他乡在前线奋勇抗敌
[00:46.439]	在黎明到来前赶紧把靴子扎紧奔赴战场
[00:49.478]	而他们的母亲担忧得彻夜难眠
[00:54.378]	他们跋涉万里以家乡的名义
[00:57.198]	以自己祖祖辈辈传下的信仰
[00:59.948]	每个日日夜夜我们活在当下的分分秒秒
[01:05.212]	都应记住他们的存在
[01:06.412]
[01:10.652]	是他们创造了今天的一切
[01:11.803]
[01:16.261]	我们曾在此右手贴胸宣誓效忠国家
[01:19.455]	重复着誓言里的话却不知其中深意
[01:22.341]	对于我们获得的自由认为是理所应当
[01:25.356]	就在美利坚这片自由的土地上
[01:27.172]	我们曾在此抱怨自己微薄的薪水
[01:30.420]	将国家分为红蓝两派（分别指代民主党和共和党）
[01:33.173]	却不曾想过我们仍有所可栖食可果腹
[01:35.683]	正当我们在这里时
[01:37.982]	他们远在他乡在前线奋勇抗敌
[01:40.872]	在黎明到来前赶紧把靴子扎紧奔赴战场
[01:43.916]	而他们的母亲担忧得彻夜难眠
[01:48.759]	他们跋涉万里以家乡的名义
[01:51.614]	以自己祖祖辈辈传下的信仰
[01:54.524]	每个日日夜夜我们活在当下的分分秒秒
[01:59.662]	都应记住他们的存在
[02:00.876]
[02:05.341]	是他们创造了今天的一切
[02:06.383]
[02:10.852]	他们远在他乡
[02:13.826]	奉献了自己生命的全部
[02:16.062]	他们就在那里
[02:19.079]	有人回来时被装在松木盒里
[02:21.611]	就在那星条旗的掩盖之下（意指战士壮烈牺牲）
[02:27.276]	他们远在他乡在前线奋勇抗敌
[02:29.964]	在黎明到来前赶紧把靴子扎紧奔赴战场
[02:33.204]	而他们的母亲担忧得彻夜难眠
[02:37.962]	他们跋涉万里以家乡的名义
[02:40.840]	以自己祖祖辈辈传下的信仰
[02:43.694]	每个日日夜夜我们活在当下的分分秒秒
[02:49.048]	都应记住他们的存在
