1917 (2007 Remastered Album Version) - Linda Ronstadt (琳达·朗丝黛)[00:00:00]
The strange young man who comes to me[00:00:07]
A soldier on a three day spree[00:00:13]
Who needs one night's cheap ecstasy[00:00:19]
And a woman's arms to hide him[00:00:26]
He greets me with a courtly bow[00:00:31]
And hides his pain by acting proud[00:00:37]
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud[00:00:44]
How can I deny him[00:00:51]
Let us dance beneath the moon[00:00:56]
I'll sing to you Claire de Lune[00:01:02]
The morning always comes too soon[00:01:08]
But tonight the war is over[00:01:15]
He speaks to me in schoolboy French[00:01:24]
Of a soldier's life inside a trench[00:01:29]
Of the look of death and the ghastly stench[00:01:36]
I do my best to please him[00:01:43]
He puts two roses in a vase[00:01:48]
Two roses sadly out of place[00:01:54]
Like the gallant smile on his haggard face[00:02:00]
Playfully I tease him[00:02:07]
Hold me neath the Paris skies[00:02:12]
Let's not talk of how or why[00:02:19]
Tomorrow's soon enough to die[00:02:24]
But tonight the war is over[00:02:31]
We make love too hard too fast[00:02:40]
He falls asleep his face a mask[00:02:46]
He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask[00:02:52]
I put my arms around him[00:02:59]
They die in the trenches and they die in the air[00:03:04]
In Belguim and France the dead are everywhere[00:03:10]
They die so fast there's no time to prepare[00:03:16]
A decent grave to surround them[00:03:22]
Old world glory old world fame[00:03:28]
The old worlds gone gone up in flames[00:03:34]
Nothing will ever be the same[00:03:40]
And nothing lasts forever[00:03:46]
Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how[00:03:54]
And there's nothing nothing that can save him now[00:04:00]
But there's always another with the same funny bow[00:04:06]
And who am I to deny them[00:04:12]
Lux aeterna Luce at e is[00:04:19]
Domine cum sanctic tu is in aeternum[00:04:22]
Qui a pius es[00:04:28]
Requiem aeternaum dona e is Domine[00:04:31]
Tonight the war is over[00:04:37]
Qui a pius es[00:04:40]
Lux aeterna Luce at e is[00:04:43]
Domine cum sanctic tu is in aeternum[00:04:47]
Qui a pius es[00:04:52]
Requiem aeternaum dona e is Domine[00:04:55]
Tonight the war is over[00:05:01]
