英文歌词

Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these.
But of all the world's great heroes, there's none that can compare.
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers.

Those heroes of antiquity ne'er saw a cannon ball,
Or knew the force of powder to slay their foes withal.
But our brave boys do know it, and banish all their fears,
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.

Whene'er we are commanded to storm the palisades,
Our leaders march with fusees, and we with hand grenades.
We throw them from the glacis, about the enemies' ears.[1]
Sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, the British Grenadiers.

And when the siege is over, we to the town repair.
The townsmen cry, "Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier!
Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears!
Then sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, the British Grenadiers.

Then let us fill a bumper, and drink a health of those
Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the loupèd clothes.
May they and their commanders live happy all their years.
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.

中文翻译

有人崇敬亚历山大,有人尊奉海格力斯
亦有人景仰赫克托耳[2],吕山德[3],以及无数这样的英雄。
但遍历全世界的伟大英雄们,无人能与他们望其项背。
他们就是那一行,一行,一行,一行,一行,一行迈步向前的英国掷弹兵。

因为这些古代的英雄们从未领教过加农炮的强大,
亦从不知道那让敌人死伤无数的火药的威力。
但我们英勇的年轻小伙们懂得这一点,并用它们惩罚闻风丧胆的敌人,
他们就是那一行,一行,一行,一行,一行,一行迈步向前的英国掷弹兵。

不论何时,当我们接到肃清敌营的命令之时,
我们的队长拉响引信,而我们则紧握榴弹。
我们从斜堤上扔出它们,爆炸声在敌人耳畔轰响。
让我们为一行,一行,一行,一行,一行,一行迈步向前的英国掷弹兵歌唱吧。

当围城结束以后,我们开始整修城镇
镇上的人们欢呼,“万岁,兄弟们,掷弹兵来了!”
掷弹兵来了,我的孩子们,无惧无畏的掷弹兵来了!
他们为一行,一行,一行,一行,一行,一行迈步向前的英国掷弹兵歌唱。

让我们大碗喝酒,为他们的安然无恙举杯,
这些戴着军帽背着行囊,身着华丽军服的大头兵们。
愿他们和他们的指挥官终身幸福快乐。
还有那一行,一行,一行,一行,一行,一行迈步向前的英国掷弹兵。
