Just Before The Battle, Mother

Just before the battle, mother,
又要开始战斗了，母亲
I am thinking most of you,
我在战斗前想的最多的就是您
While upon the field we're watching
尤其是，在战场上
With the enemy in view.
在我们刚看见敌人时
Comrades brave are 'round me lying,
我看到战友们倒在地上
Filled with thoughts of home and God
看到了他们对家乡最后的思念
For well they know that on the morrow,
他们深知在明天，
Some will sleep beneath the sod.
有些人将再也见不到太阳
Farewell, mother, you may never
所以啊，我的母亲，祝我好运吧
Press me to your breast again,
再次让我体验一下被你哺乳的感觉吧
But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother,
但是啊，不要忘记我，我的母亲
If I'm numbered with the slain.
如果我被编号，被编号为死者
Hark! I hear the bugles sounding,
啊！我听到行军号的声音了，
'Tis the signal for the fight,
这是战斗的信号啊，
Now, may God protect us, mother,
现在，只能让上帝保佑我了
As He ever does the right.
正如他曾经所做的那样
Hear the "Battle-Cry of Freedom,"
我听到“为自由而战斗”的呐喊声
How it swells upon the air,
听到它如何在空中膨胀
Oh, yes, we'll rally 'round the standard,
哦，是的，我们将团结在自由的旗帜下
Or we'll perish nobly there.
否则我们将高贵地阵亡
Farewell, mother, you may never
所以啊，我的母亲
Press me to your breast again,
我也许再也无法体验一下被你哺乳的感觉了
But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother,
但是啊，如果我在阵亡名单上
If I'm numbered with the slain.
请不要遗忘我.........
