Captain Kennedy [Chrome Dreams]
Neil Young
I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinking about my family and what it was for
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
And when I get to shore
I hope that I can kill good
My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy
He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea
Exploded on the water for everyone to see
And humiliate that American
Captain Kennedy
I saw him in Nassau in 1971
His strength was failing but he still ran a run
He worked 'til his fingers wore to the bone
To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own
He was known in the islands as hundred foot iron
That steel hull freighter was passing its time
And time flew by faster with life on the sea
And the days grew shorter for Captain Kennedy
I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinking about my family and what it was for
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
And when I get to shore
I hope that I can kill good
I am a young mariner headed to war
Ich bin ein junger Seemann, auf dem Weg in den Krieg
I'm thinking about my family and what it was for
Ich denke an meine Familie und wofür es war
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
Es ist Wasser auf dem Holz und die Segel fühlen sich gut an
And when I get to shore
Und wenn ich an Land komme
I hope that I can kill good
Hoffe ich, dass ich gut töten kann
My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy
Mein Vater war ein Seemann namens Kapitän Kennedy
He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea
Er verlor seinen hölzernen Schoner an die Deutschen auf dem Meer
Exploded on the water for everyone to see
Explodierte auf dem Wasser für alle zu sehen
And humiliate that American
Und demütigte diesen Amerikaner

Seine Kraft schwand, aber er lief immer noch eine Runde
He worked 'til his fingers wore to the bone
Er arbeitete bis seine Finger bis auf die Knochen abgenutzt waren
To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own
Um diesen hölzernen Schoner zu kaufen und auf eigene Faust zu segeln
He was known in the islands as hundred foot iron
Er war auf den Inseln bekannt als hundert Fuß Eisen
That steel hull freighter was passing its time
Dieser Stahlrumpffrachter verbrachte seine Zeit
And time flew by faster with life on the sea
Und die Zeit verging schneller mit dem Leben auf dem Meer

Und die Tage wurden kürzer für Kapitän Kennedy
