Virginia's Bloody Soil

Come all you loyal unionists, wherever you may be,
來吧，所有忠誠的聯邦主義者們，無論你在哪兒
I hope you'll pay attention and listen unto me;
我希望你能注意到我的聲音
For well you know the blood and woe, the misery, the toil
我要讓你們知道鮮血與悲哀，苦難與跋涉
It took to down secession on Virginia's bloody soil .
這是為了斬下在弗吉尼亞血染土地上的叛軍的國旗
When our good old flag, the Stars and Stripes, from Sumter's walls was hurled,
當我們親愛的星條旗，從薩姆特堡的牆上跌倒在地，
And high o'erhead on the forwardest walls the Rebels their flag unfurled,

It aroused each loyal northern man and caused his blood to boil
它喚醒了每一個忠誠的北方人，使他的血液沸騰
For to see that flag—Secession's rag—float o'er Virginia's soil.
看到叛軍的破布飄揚在弗吉尼亞的土地上
Then from the hills and mountain tops there came that wild alarm;
這時山上和山頂上傳來了狂野的警報聲
Rise up ! ye gallant sons of North, our country calls to arms.
崛起！勇敢的北方之子們，我們的祖國正在召喚
Come from the plains o'er hill and dale, ye hardy sons of toil,
你們這些辛苦勞碌的孩子們，從那平原和山丘來到
For our flag is trampled in the dust on Virginia's bloody soil.
因為在弗吉尼亞血染的土地上，我們的旗幟正被踐踏
And thousands left their native homes, some never to return,

And many's the wife and family dear were left behind to mourn.
許多妻子與家人只能留下來哀悼
There was one who went among them who from danger would ne'er recoil;
他們中總有人，從危險中站出來，決不退縮
Now his bones lie bleaching on the fields of Virginia's bloody soil.
現在他沉睡在血流成河的弗吉尼亞
In the great fight of the Wilderness, where many's the brave man fell,

The Rebels fought like fury,just like tigers drove to bay.

They knew full well, if the truth they'd tell, they could not win the day.
他們全都知道，如果告訴他們真相，他們不會在這天獲勝
It was hand to hand they fought 'em. The struggle was fierce and wild,
他們手拉著手與叛軍戰鬥，激烈而又狂野
Till a bullet pierced our captain's brain, on Virginia's bloody soil.
直到一顆子彈穿過我們上尉的大腦,在那弗吉尼亞州的血泊中
And now our hero's sleeping with thousands of the brave.

Thank God,The Stars and Stripes still wave above Virginia's soil.
