My Youngest Son Came Home Today

Billy Bragg




My Youngest Son Came Home Today
Mein jüngster Sohn kam heute heim
My youngest son came home today
Mein jüngster Sohn kam heute heim
His friends marched with him all the way
Seine Freunde marschierten mit ihm den ganzen Weg
The fife and drum beat out the time
Die Pfeife und Trommel schlugen den Takt
While in his box of polished pine
Während er in seiner Kiste aus poliertem Kiefernholz
Like dead meat on a butcher's tray
Wie totes Fleisch auf dem Tablett eines Metzgers
My youngest son same home today
Mein jüngster Sohn kam heute heim
My youngest son was a fine young man
Mein jüngster Sohn war ein feiner junger Mann
With a wife, a daughter and two sons
Mit einer Frau, einer Tochter und zwei Söhnen
And a man he would have lived and died
Und als Mann hätte er gelebt und wäre gestorben
Till by a bullet sanctified
Bis er durch eine Kugel geheiligt wurde
Now he's a saint or so they say
Jetzt ist er ein Heiliger, so sagt man
They brought their young saint home today
Sie brachten ihren jungen Heiligen heute heim
An Irish sky looks down and weeps
Ein irischer Himmel blickt herab und weint
Upon the narrow Belfast streets
Auf die engen Straßen von Belfast
At children's blood in gutters spilled
Auf Kinderblut, in Rinnsteinen vergossen
In dreams of glory unfulfilled
In Träumen von Ruhm, unerfüllt
As part of freedom's price to pay
Als Teil des Preises, der für Freiheit zu zahlen ist
My youngest son came home today
Mein jüngster Sohn kam heute heim
My youngest son came home today
Mein jüngster Sohn kam heute heim
His friends marched with him all the way
Seine Freunde marschierten mit ihm den ganzen Weg
The pipe and drum beat out the time
Die Pfeife und Trommel schlugen den Takt
While in his box of polished pine
Während er in seiner Kiste aus poliertem Kiefernholz
Like dead meat on a butcher's tray
Wie totes Fleisch auf dem Tablett eines Metzgers
My youngest son came home today
Mein jüngster Sohn kam heute heim
And this time he's here to stay
Und diesmal ist er hier, um zu bleiben
