歌词
The fearful struggle's ended now and peace smiles on our land
血腥的战斗结束了,和平重降临
And though we've yielded we have proved ourselves a faithful band
即使投降我们也赢得了忠诚的美名
We fought them long, we fought them well, we fought them night and day
我们打得久,我们打得好,我们日夜在作战
And bravely struggled for our rights while wearing of the Grey
身穿着灰色军装为了权利勇作战
And now that we have ceased to fight and pledged our sacred word
现在斗争平息我们立下神圣的誓言
That we against the Union's might no more will draw the sword
我们对抗联邦强权不再手执三尺剑
We feel despite the sneers of those who never smelt the fray
无论未经沙场者如何对我们讥讽又冷笑
That we've a manly, honest right to wearing of the Grey
不负灰色军装我们忠诚骁勇曾作战
Our cannons' mouths are dumb. No more our vollied muskets peal,
我们大炮的轰鸣沉寂了枪声不再起
Nor gleams to mark where squadrons
刺刀寒光暗淡不再
Rush, The light from flashing steel.
指明我们的军形
No more our crossed and starry flags In gentle dalliance play
我们十字星旗(邦联旗帜)不再在轻轻随微风飘扬
With baffled breeze as when we fought, A wearing of the Grey.
同灰色军装士兵一同冲锋在战场
No we are men though overpower by numbers in the fight
即使我们向来以少敌多仍不输勇敢
We'll not deny that we have fought for what we deemed was right
我们绝不否认我们在为正义而作战
For we are found the scaries hopes of a sight forever lay
我们明白那神圣的期盼不腐朽永流传
We cherish still with honest pride for wearing of the Grey
身穿灰色军装我们心怀正直的骄傲
Our cause is lost the more we fight 'gainst o'erwhelming power
我们对抗压倒性的力量伟业终未尽
All wearied are our limbs and drenched with many a battle shower
四肢疲惫不堪无数战斗已经洗礼过
We feign we rest for want of strength in yielding up the day
我们尝试休息为一切的结束稍保留力气
And lower the flag so proudly born while wearing of the Grey
身穿着灰色军装降下荣耀的十字旗
Defeat is not dishonor, nor our honor not bereft
战败虽可耻但我们的荣光不逝去
We thank God that in our hearts this priceless boon was left
为这无价恩赐我们心中感谢上帝
And though we weep just for those braves who stood in proud array
为了战线之中骄傲的勇士我们垂泪而哭泣
Beneath our flag and nobly died while wearing of the Grey
身穿着灰色军装光荣牺牲在旗帜下
When in the ranks of war we stood and faced the deadly hail
在战斗中我们迎面走向致命的弹丸
Our simple suits of Grey composed our only coats of mail
我们简陋的灰色军装便是唯一的盔甲
And on those awful hours that marked the bloody battle day
在那充满至暗时刻的血腥的日子里
In memories we'll still be seen wearing of the Grey
身穿着灰色军装是我们永远的回忆
Oh! should we reach that glorious place where waits a sparklin' crown
哦!我们终将走向荣耀带上闪烁的桂冠
For everyone who for the right his soldier life lay down
为那些为民请命不顾性命的士兵
God grant to us the privilege upon that happy day
为那快乐的日子上帝赐予我们权利
Of claspin' hands with those who fell while wearing of the Grey
与那身穿灰色军装倒下的人们同喝彩
