When I was just a young boy

My mother said to me
母亲轻声对我说道
Would you like to come to town today
可愿今日随我进城
And keep me company
与我作伴可好
We walked around department stores
我们漫步百货商店
She bought me lots of sweets
她为我买来糖果香甜
She bought the things a family needs
购置家中所需物件
And bought herself a treat
也不忘给自己犒赏
She asked me if I wanted anything at all
她问我是否想要些什么
As we walked outside a junk shop
当我们走过一家旧货店
Just behind the old town hall
就在老市政厅后面
So I looked into the window
我望向橱窗里
And displayed there to my glee
欣喜地发现展示着的
Was a German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943
是一顶1943年左右的德军头盔
I asked if I could have it
我问能否拥有它
And she looked horrified
她露出惊骇的神情
She must have thought about the war
她一定想起了那场战争
And all those who had died
和所有逝去的生命
She said we'd ask my father
她说要问问父亲的意见
And grabbed me by my hand
然后紧紧握住我的手
So I went home to tell my Dad

I knew he'd understand

'Cos he fought in the desert
因为他曾在沙漠作战
It's what he had to do

Imagine what it would be like

If it were me or you
如果换作是你我
He gave me ten pounds fifty

The asking price you see
这就是标价
For the German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943
为了那顶1943年的德军头盔
The years passed so quickly
岁月匆匆流逝
And nothing is the same
物是人非
And I've moved home so many times
我已辗转搬家多次
But noone is to blame
但谁都没有错
I never thought about it
我从未细想过
I never had the time
也从未有时间
Playing this crazy rock and roll
沉迷疯狂的摇滚乐
I nearly lost my mind
几乎迷失自我
But just the other evening
就在前些夜晚
Beneath the cellar stairs
在地下室楼梯下
I banged my knee on something hard
膝盖撞上了坚硬物件
I gave a little curse
我轻声惊呼
I shone my torch into the dark
手电筒照亮黑暗角落
And guess what I did see
猜我看见了什么
A German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943
一顶1943年的德军钢盔
Thanks Mum and Dad for buying me
感谢爸妈为我买下
This piece of history
