美国人把树干修剪成心的形状 [00:12.910]A sweetheart left behind
一颗心便赫然而现 [00:17.463]Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas
此地远离波涛汹涌的卡罗莱纳的山丘 [00:21.615]That's where my true love lies
那里有我真挚的爱 [00:23.873] [00:34.089]Look for me when the sun-bright swallow
羽毛光鲜的燕子飞翔的时候找一找我 [00:37.558]Sings upon the birch bough high
它们的歌声回荡在桦树枝头 [00:42.158]But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils
你所站的土地上有田鼠和象鼻虫 [00:45.972]All a'chew on your bones so dry
叮在你干硬的骨头上 [00:48.628] [01:07.647]But when the sun breaks
太阳破土而出 [01:11.654]To no more bulletin battle-cry
照在已经没有战斗口号的告示板上 [01:15.646]Then will you make a grave

一会儿就回 [01:46.257]When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee
我还是个小姑娘的时候 奥康尼的山丘 [01:49.910]Made a seam to hem me in
仿佛是将我缝在了里面 [01:54.426]There at the fair when our eyes caught careless
集市上我们不经意的目光接触 [01:58.096]Got my heart right pierced by a pin
我的心竟像被针刺了一下 [02:00.902] [02:11.274]But oh did you see all the dead of Manassas
你看到了马纳萨斯战场上的亡灵了吗 [02:14.832]All the bellies and the bones and the bile
残肢断臂 [02:19.437]Though I lingered here with the blankets barren
我滞留在荒芜的平原上 [02:23.150]And my own belly big with a child
肚子里怀着一个小孩 [02:25.990] [02:45.109]But when the sun breaks
太阳破土而出 [02:49.028]To no more bulletin battle-cry

我就要回家了 [03:01.488]I will be home then
我就要回家了 [03:05.740]I will be home then
我就要回家了 [03:09.761]I will be home then
我就要回家了 [03:16.566]Stems and bones and stone walls too
森严壁垒 [03:21.776]Could keep me from you
横亘在你我之间 [03:24.726]Scaly skin is all too few

随着羽毛光鲜的麻雀找一找我 [03:52.422]I will come on the breath of the wind
或许我感觉到风的气息
Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)-The Decemberists热门评论
这首歌的故事背景是美国南北战争，主人公“我”是一名南军士兵，死于北军刺刀之下。Yankee：扬基客，北方佬。Bayonet：刺刀。
But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils，All a'chew on your bones so dry。 女孩唱出冰冷的现实：你的骨头正埋在土里被田鼠和象鼻虫啃。象鼻虫是草食性甲虫，通常不食腐，这可能是当时人们缺乏科学常识的表现。
Heart-carved tree trunk，Yankee bayonet/ A sweetheart left behind。 “我”在被“bei佬刺刀”杀死瞬间，想起了年轻时做过的事：在树桩上用刀刻下心形圈起来的爱侣名字。刀刺心，残酷的死亡就这样连结到甜蜜的回忆。
But when the sun breaks to no more bullets in Battle Creek/ Then will you make a grave? For I will be home then。士兵问女孩愿不愿意在战争结束后为他建一座坟墓，这样他好（灵魂和遗体）回家。
Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas/ That's where my true love lies。 士兵的家乡是卡罗来纳，属于南方，而死地远离家乡。1960年林肯当选总统后，南卡罗来纳州率先宣布脱离联邦，nan方各州纷纷响应，不久南北zhanzheng爆发。
Look for me when the sun-bright swallow/ Sings upon the birch bough high。 燕子是“我”死后灵魂的化身。
But O did you see all the dead of Manassas/ All the bellies and the bones and the bile?第一次马纳萨斯战役，于1861年7月21日发生在弗吉尼亚的马纳萨斯和牛奔河附近…
There at the fair when our eyes caught, careless/ Got my heart right pierced by a pin 我的心像被针刺了一下，这句话呼应了士兵最后的结局，被刺刀穿心而死。
When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee/ Made a seam to hem me in 女孩的家乡在奥科尼县，与男孩一样同属南卡罗来纳州。后一句用到了一个金属加工术语hemming and seamming卷边与接缝…
