Nebraska

來自美國內布拉斯加州的小鎮青年因為911事件，而參加伊拉克戰爭，想起家鄉時的生活。但是現在的他看到太多死傷別離，也不知能否還能活著回去。是一首相當悲情的歌。

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
此時此刻，我已經殺了許多敵人，我看到許多死亡，
我父親的兒子，那個自以為是的年輕人久已不復存在，
所有殘酷的殺戮一直放映在我眼前使我整夜無法入睡，
我等待著等待著天明，
我不知道天明後是不是一切都無恙。
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
我想著我愛過的那個女孩，或許她也正在想著我，
我認為唯一活著還值得的是，能再見她一面，
神阿，這個無情的戰場已經改變了我，我已不再是我，
我只求她還是一樣愛我，
神阿，如果我死在這戰場，我希望她還能記得我名字，
I hope she’ll remember
I hope she’ll remember
I hope she’ll remember
Remember my name
我希望她還記得我名字
記得我名字
