The grave that they dug him had flowers 他们挖他的坟墓有花

Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours, 从明亮的夏日色彩的山坡上聚集，

And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone. 和棕壤在他的墓碑边上漂白白色。

He's gone. 他走了。

   

When the wars of our nation did beckon, 当我们的民族战争却招手，

A man barely twenty did answer the calling. 一个人几乎20已经回答的呼唤。

Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation, 自豪的是，他把我们国家的信任，

He's gone, 他走了，

But Eternity knows him, and it knows what we've done. 但永恒认识他，而且知道我们做了什么。

   

And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers 和下雨像花的叶子珍珠

Leaving brown, muddy clay where the earth had been dry. 留下棕色，淤泥质粘土，其中地上已经干燥。

And deep in the trench he waited for hours, 和深，他等了好几个小时的沟，

As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die. 当他举起他的枪，并祈祷不要死。

   

But the silence of night was shattered by fire 但夜晚的寂静被打破了火

As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air. 由于枪支和手榴弹炸出锐在空中。

And one after another his comrades were slaughtered. 和一个又一个战友被屠杀。

In morgue of Marines, alone standing there. 在海军陆战队的太平间，独自站在那里。

   

He crouched ever lower, ever lower with fear. 他蹲在越来越低，越来越低了恐惧。

"They can't let me die! They can't let me die here! “他们不能让我死！他们不能让我死在这里！

I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth. 我将用自己的泥地上。

I'll cover myself! I know I'm not brave! 我将介绍我自己！我知道我不勇敢！

The earth! the earth! the earth is my grave." 地球！地球！地球是我的坟墓。 “

   

The grave that they dug him had flowers 他们挖他的坟墓有花

Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours, 从明亮的夏日色彩的山坡上聚集，

And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone. 和棕壤在他的墓碑边上漂白白色。

He's gone. 他走了。
