《Yankee Doodle》是一首歌曲,它的歌詞如下:
Yankee Doodle came to town,
Drink up, boys, there's no delaying;
Fill up our cup, it's not too filling,
As good as done, so let's get going.
Yanks and Irish, Scotch and Welsh,
Let's have a jolly good welcoming;
Let's drink to the health of the President,
And the General Lee.
Let's toast to the one who commands,
The Yankee Doodle army and navy;
They're all heroes, let's them be known,
The best in the land.
This song was composed by a Yankee drummer boy,
To sing when the British were near.
They heard it, they feared it, they shuddered and wept,
When they heard the Yankee Doodle would weep.
所以歌詞翻譯為:
洋基跳舞來到鎮上,
男孩們,別再拖延;
杯子滿上,它不會太滿,
就像完成的一樣,讓我們開始吧。
洋基和愛爾蘭人,蘇格蘭人和威爾斯人,
讓我們歡欣鼓舞地歡迎;
我們向總統敬酒祝福,
向“將軍李”致敬。
向領導我們的人致敬,帶領著美國人的軍旅生活。
他們是英雄,讓世人皆知他們名字;
是這片土地上的最優秀的士兵。這首歌是由一個洋基鼓手男孩創作的,當英國人靠近時唱的。他們聽到了這首歌,他們害怕它,他們哭泣發抖;當他們聽到洋基跳舞會哭泣時。
