Ballad of the Green Berets

(2008-03-22 17:55:28) 下一个



Song: Ballad of the Green Berets
Artist: SSgt Barry Sadler & Robin Moore

Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret



Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret



Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request

Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret

你说起《士兵突击》,凤凰台正在播放一部军事题材的电视连续剧,不过,我没有留意,也许是在播放《士兵突击》。

Ballad of the Green Beret 这首歌曲是我不久前开车时,在我们的当地电台里听到的。开车时,我经常听的就是我们当地的音乐台。听到这首歌曲后,我非常喜欢这歌曲的旋律。

回到家后,我就把歌词的大意告诉了薄筚,他就告诉了我这首歌曲的曲名。薄筚也非常喜欢这首歌曲,他说每次听到这首歌曲,都让他感动。知道歌名后,我就找到了歌曲,把这首歌贴上来了,在家里不停地听。

Have a nice day,

Rebecca

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Ballad of the Green Berets" is a patriotic song in the ballad style about the Green Berets, an elite special force in the U.S. Army. It is one of the very few songs of the 1960s to cast the military in a positive light and yet it became a major hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Charts for five weeks in 1966.

The song was written by Robin Moore and Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler, while the latter was recuperating from a leg wound suffered as a medic in the Vietnam War. Moore also wrote a non-fiction book, The Green Berets, about the force.

Moore also co-authored the lyrics for the "Ballad of the Green Berets", which was one of the major hit songs of 1966. The song was also featured in the film based on Moore's book which starred John Wayne.
