Nor the shadows on the wall 在墙壁上，也没有影子

Of some Albanian farm 一些阿尔巴尼亚农场

An old Babushka 一个旧头巾

Holds a crying baby in her arms 持有在她的怀里哭闹的婴儿

A soldier from the other side 从另一个侧面士兵

A man of heart and pride 一个人的心脏和骄傲

Breaks ranks, lays down his rifle 打破行列，奠定了他的步枪

To kneel by her side 跪在她身边

   

He gives her water 他给她的水

Binds her wounds 结合她的伤口

And calms the crying child 而平静的哭泣的孩子

A touch gives absolution then 触摸给予赦免，然后

He picks his way back through the broken 他从破碎的采回来的路上

And there at the curb 还有在路边

The samaritan Serb turns and waves ... goodbye 撒玛利亚族人轮流浪...再见
