暴君的铁蹄已踩到你的岸上,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
他的火把已烧到你的庙门上,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
爱国者的血己染红巴尔的摩的大街,
让我们爲他们报仇雪恨,
愿你做古时善战的女王,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
请听一个游子的呼吁,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
你是我的母亲州,我愿跪在你面前,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
不论是生是死,是祸是福,
愿你显出举世无双的勇士本色,
给你美丽的肢体披上盔甲。
马里兰,我的马里兰!
你不会含屈忍辱畏缩不前,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
你闪光的剑决不会生锈,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
记住卡罗尔神圣的嘱托,
记住霍华德勇武的一戳,
记住所有爲正义躺下的人,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
来呀!这是血红的黎明,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
披上你的盔甲来,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
带着林戈尔德的斗争精神来,
带着蒙特雷沃森洒下的血来,
带上无畏的洛和勇敢的梅来,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
亲爱的母亲,挣开暴君的锁链,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
愿维吉尼亚的呼喊没白费,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
她会在平原上和姐妹相会,
是那自豪的迭句“Sic temper”,
立即阻止了走狗向前,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
来呀!你的盾又亮又坚,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
来呀!浪费时间就坏了你的事,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
来到你自己的英雄群衆里,
与自由一起阔步向前,
并唱起你英勇的战歌,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
我看到你两颊绯红,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
但你虽一向温和却很勇敢,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
听呀!山山水水
都发出了尖厉的吶喊,
喊声从波托马克传到了切萨皮克,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
你不会让野蛮人随意破坏,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
你不会屈从他的控制,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
宁可让烈火烧毁房屋,
宁可让枪击,刀劈,箭戳,
也不让灵魂被钉在十字架上,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
我听到远处的雷鸣声,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
我听到“老队伍的”军号和军乐,
马里兰,我的马里兰!
她没有死,不聋也不哑,
万岁!她一脚踢开了北方流氓,
她在呼气!她怒火中烧!她就来了
她就来了!
马里兰,我的马里兰。

Maryland, My Maryland
The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland, my Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland, my Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland, my Maryland!
Hark to an exiled son's appeal,
Maryland, my Maryland!
My mother state, to thee I kneel,
Maryland, my Maryland!
For life or death, for woe or weal,
Thy peerless chivalry reveal,
And gird thy beauteous limbs with steel,
Maryland, my Maryland!
Thou wilt not cower in the dust,
Maryland, my Maryland!
Thy beaming sword shall never rust,
Maryland, my Maryland!
Remember Carroll's sacred trust,
Remember Howard's warlike thrust,
And all thy slumberers with the just,
Maryland, my Maryland!
Come! "Tis the red dawn of the day,
Maryland, my Maryland!
Come with thy panoplied array,
Maryland, my Maryland!
With Ringgold's spirit for the fray,
With Watson's blood at Monterey,
With fearless Lowe and dashing May,
Maryland, my Maryland!
Dear mother,
burst the tyrant’s chain,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
Virginia
should not call in vain,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
She meets her sisters on the plain
"Sic temper," ‘tis the proud refrain
That baffles minion’s back amain,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
Come! for thy
shield is bright and strong,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
Come! for thy dalliance does thee wrong,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
Come to thine own heroic throng,
Stalking with liberty along,
And chant thy dauntless slogan-song,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
I see the
blush upon thy cheek,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
But thou wast ever bravely meek,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
But lo! there surges forth a shriek,
From hill to hill, from creek to creek,
Potomac calls to Chesapeake,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
Thou wilt not
yield the vandal toll,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
Thou wilt not crook to his control,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
Better the fire upon the roll,
Better the shot, the blade, the bowl,
Than crucifixion of the soul,
Maryland,
my Maryland!
I
hear the distant thunder-hum,
Maryland, my Maryland!
The
"Old Line's" bugle, fife and drum,
Maryland, my Maryland!
She
is not dead, nor deaf nor dumb,
Huzza! she spurns the Northern scum--
She
breathes! She burns! She'll come! She'll come!
Maryland, my Maryland! |
