歌词与中文翻译
编曲 : Gustav Theodore Holst
我向你起誓，我的祖国
I vow to thee, my country
你是一切人间世俗之尊
All earthly things above
我要奉献出我全然，完整，至臻的爱
Entire and whole and perfect,
给你
The service of my love;
这爱没有任何疑虑
The love that asks no question,
这爱经得起考验
The love that stands the test,
供奉在祭坛上
That lays upon the altar
最珍贵，最完美的爱
The dearest and the best;
这爱永远不会动摇
The love that never falters,
这爱值得付出一切
The love that pays the price,
这爱将会顽强不屈
The love that makes undaunted
直至最后牺牲
The final sacrifice.
我很早就曾听说
And there's another country,
还有这样一个国家
I've heard of long ago
她是热爱她的人们最亲爱的祖国
Most dear to them that love her,
是他们心目中最伟大的
Most great to them that know;
也许我们不能指挥她的精兵
We may not count her armies,
也许我们无法见到她的君王
We may not see her King;
可她的堡垒就是忠诚的心灵
Her fortress is a faithful heart,
她的荣耀就是艰苦的忍耐
Her pride is suffering;
一代代的精神薪火相传，不知不觉地
And soul by soul and silently
她光辉的边境扩张了
Her shining bounds increase,
而她遵从的方法是宽容友善
And her ways are ways of gentleness,
她所走的道路都是和平之路
And all her paths are peace.
