[00:00.00] 作词 : Eric Bogle[00:01.00] 作曲 : Eric Bogle[00:07.00][00:09.77]When I was a young man I carried my pack[00:15.70]And I lived the free life of a rover[00:22.81]From the murrays green basin to the dusty outback[00:29.62]I waltzed my matilda all over[00:36.61]Then in nineteen fifteen my country said son[00:43.46]It's time to stop rambling 'cause there's work to be done[00:50.15]So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun[00:57.15]And they sent me away to the war[01:01.15][01:03.95]And the band played Waltzing Matilda[01:10.53]As we sailed away from the quay[01:17.38]And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the cheers[01:24.03]We sailed off to Gallipoli[01:31.18]How well I remember that terrible day[01:37.58]When the blood stained the sand and the water[01:45.07]And how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay[01:51.42]We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter[01:58.38]Johnny Turk he was ready, he primed himself well[02:05.58]He showered us with bullets, he rained us with shells[02:12.03]And in five minutes flat he'd blown us all to hell[02:18.98]Nearly blew us right back to Australia[02:23.00][02:25.71]But the band played waltzing Matilda[02:32.36]As we stopped to bury our slain[02:39.41]And we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs[02:46.31]Then it started all over again[02:53.29]Now those who were living did their best to survive[03:00.04]In that mad world of death, blood and fire[03:07.08]And for seven long weeks I kept myself alive[03:13.93]While the corpses around me piled higher[03:20.78]Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over tit[03:27.59]And when I woke up in my hospital bed[03:34.49]And saw what it had done, Christ I wished I was dead[03:41.27]Never knew there were worse things than dying[03:48.62]And no more I'll go waltzing Matilda[03:55.31]To the green bushes so far and near[04:02.14]For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs two legs[04:09.00]No more waltzing Matilda for me[04:21.19][04:33.19]
[04:45.19][04:48.27]So they collected the cripples, the wounded and maimed[04:55.07]And they shipped us back home to Australia[05:02.10]The legless, the armless, the blind and insane[05:08.85]Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla[05:15.70]And as our ship pulled into circular quay[05:22.75]I looked at the place where me legs used to be[05:29.25]And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me[05:36.08]To grieve and to mourn and to pity[05:40.00][05:42.92]And the band played Waltzing Matilda[05:49.72]As they carried us down the gangway[05:57.07]But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared[06:03.71]And they turned all their faces away[06:10.75]And now every April I sit on my porch[06:17.11]And I watch the parade pass before me[06:24.17]I see my old comrades, how proudly they march[06:30.60]Reliving the or their dreams of past glory[06:37.85]i see the old men, all twisted and torn[06:44.60]The forgotten heroes of a forgotten war[06:51.29]And the young people ask me, "what are they marching for?"[06:58.15]And I ask myself the same question[07:04.89]And the band plays Waltzing Matilda[07:11.64]And the old men still answer to the call[07:18.64]But year after year their numbers get fewer[07:25.14]Some day no one will march there at all[07:32.55]Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda[07:39.30]Who'll go a-Waltzing Matilda with me?[07:49.17]
