Ballad of the Green Berets

(2008-03-22 17:55:28) 下一個



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

你說起《士兵突擊》,鳳凰台正在播放一部軍事題材的電視連續劇,不過,我沒有留意,也許是在播放《士兵突擊》。

Ballad of the Green Beret 這首歌曲是我不久前開車時,在我們的當地電台裏聽到的。開車時,我經常聽的就是我們當地的音樂台。聽到這首歌曲後,我非常喜歡這歌曲的旋律。

回到家後,我就把歌詞的大意告訴了薄篳,他就告訴了我這首歌曲的曲名。薄篳也非常喜歡這首歌曲,他說每次聽到這首歌曲,都讓他感動。知道歌名後,我就找到了歌曲,把這首歌貼上來了,在家裏不停地聽。

Have a nice day,

Rebecca

你看過《士兵突擊》?

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.
