Iron Maiden - Alexander The Great 歌词翻译

词曲：斯蒂夫·哈里斯
“我的儿子，你为自己再找一个
王国吧，因为我留给你的王国
对你来说太小了
(马其顿国王腓力——公元前339年)

靠近东方
在古希腊的一部分
在一个叫马其顿的古老国度
生了个儿子
给马其顿的菲利普
他的传奇名字是亚历山大

在十九岁的时候
他成为马其顿国王
他发誓要解放整个小亚细亚
在爱琴海边
公元前334年
他彻底打败了波斯的军队

[副歌:]
亚历山大大帝
他的名字使人们感到恐惧
亚历山大大帝
成为凡人眼中的传奇

大流士三世
溃败逃往波斯
斯基泰人在杰克萨提斯河边大败
然后埃及也败于马其顿国王
随后他建立了亚历山大城

在底格里斯河边
他又见到了大流士国王
在阿比拉战役中再次击败了他
进入巴比伦
还有苏萨，他发现了宝藏
占领波斯的首都波斯波利斯

[副歌:]
亚历山大大帝
他的名字使人们感到恐惧
亚历山大大帝
成为凡人眼中的传奇

一个佛里吉安的国王绑了一个战车轭
亚历山大斩断'戈尔迪之结'
传说解开这个结的人
他将成为亚洲的主宰

他广泛传播希腊文化
马其顿人有学问
他们的文化是西方的生活方式
他为基督教铺平了道路

前进，前进
战斗使人疲惫，前进肩并肩
亚历山大的军队行接行
他们不会跟着他去印度
厌倦了战斗，痛苦和荣耀

亚历山大大帝
他的名字使人们感到恐惧
亚历山大大帝
他在巴比伦死于热病

"My son ask for thyself another
Kingdom, for that which I leave
is too small for thee"
(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C.)

Near to the east
In a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son
To Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander

At the age of nineteen
He became the Macedon King
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegian Sea
In 334 B.C.
He utterly beat the armies of Persia

[Chorus:]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men

King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria

By the Tigris river
He met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia

[Chorus:]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a God amongst mortal men

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia

Hellenism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity

Marching on, marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon
