《Pretty Young Soldier》歌词

[00:00:03] Pretty Young Soldier - Sting

[00:00:20] There are two young lovers they're pledged to each other's hands

[00:00:24] They meet by the river to talk of their marriage plans

[00:00:29] I'm confessing he said I've signed for a soldier

[00:00:34] And I'm leaving tomorrow for some foreign land

[00:00:39] She watches the pretty young soldiers

[00:00:44] As they march themselves off to the war

[00:00:49] She wonders if she'll ever see him again

[00:00:54] Somehow she doubts it but she has to be sure

[00:00:58] So she rode into town on the very next day

[00:01:03] And dressed herself up all in man's array

[00:01:08] With a sword and a musket she took the king's shilling

[00:01:13] And to fight in some foreign war

[00:01:15] She said yes she'd be willing

[00:01:19] All you pretty young soldiers

[00:01:22] In those uniforms that you've never worn

[00:01:28] The captain will come to inspect you all now

[00:01:32] Let me down and you'll all wish you'd never been born

[00:01:37] The captain astride of his horse's grey flanks

[00:01:42] Pulls the pretty young soldier from out of the ranks

[00:01:47] His gaze it is fixed and she's starting to shake

[00:01:51] He said follow me soldier and listen to the offer that I'm willing to make

[00:01:57] Come you pretty young soldier

[00:02:02] Come and be my right hand

[00:02:07] You're having this strange effect on my soul

[00:02:11] That I don't quite understand

[00:02:17] Captain oh captain I've a confession to make

[00:02:21] I love someone else and my heart it will break

[00:02:26] And as she released her brown hair from a band

[00:02:30] It tumbled all down her shoulders and into his hands

[00:02:36] Oh you pretty young soldier

[00:02:41] Come and take my right hand

[00:02:46] You're having this strange effect on my soul

[00:02:50] And now I think I understand
