[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional arranged by David Kincaid
[00:01.45] When old Virginia took the field
[00:05.84] and wanted men torally on,
[00:10.03] To be at once a sword and shield,
[00:14.47] She formed her First Battalion.
[00:19.00] Although her sons were volunteers,
[00:23.54] And brave as ever bore a brand,
[00:27.93] The good old lady had her fears,
[00:32.31] that they'd prove but weak of hand
[00:39.02] She therefore wisely cast about
[00:43.46] For men of mettle and of mould,
[00:48.05] With nerve of steel and muscle stout,
[00:52.29] Like those that lived in days of old.
[00:56.87] She wanted men of pluck and might,
[01:01.45] Of fiery heart and horny hand,
[01:05.74] To wield a pick as well as fight,
[01:10.08] Or build a breastwork out of sand.
[01:19.37] Or should she march to meet the foe
[01:23.61] That threatened on her western border,
[01:28.30] She wanted willing men to go,
[01:32.62] When told to put her roads in order.
[01:36.96] Or should the Volunteers retreat,
[01:41.44] With baggage that might make them tarry,
[01:45.93] 'Twould blunt the edge of their defeat
[01:50.42] To bear a hand and help them carry.
[01:59.76] Or should some die of fell disease,
[02:03.85] The surgeons having failed to save,
[02:08.35] Sure men who work with so much ease,
[02:12.59] Would volunteer to dig a grave!
[02:17.13] For these, and reasons quite as sound,
[02:21.47] When Old Virginia went to war,
[02:26.15] She circumspectly viewed the ground
[02:30.49] And plumped the middle man from taw!
[03:13.29] In other words, to change the figure,
[03:17.52] When she stood up and took her rifle,
[03:21.96] And put her finger on the trigger,
[03:26.41] She meant to work, and not to trifle.
[03:30.73] And standing thus, yet wanting then
[03:35.32] Some regulars to rally on,
[03:39.76] She took three hundred Irishmen
[03:44.20] And formed her First Battalion.
[03:53.29] And when the storm of battle sweeps,
[03:58.04] Where fiercest foemen sally on,
[04:02.12] There, hard at work, or piled in heaps,
[04:06.45] She'll find her bold Battalion!

[00:01.45] 当老维吉尼亚开始征战时
[00:05.84] 她想要大批士兵
[00:10.03] 她立马筹备剑和盾
[00:14.47] 组建了第一营
[00:19.00] 尽管她的儿子们都是义务兵
[00:23.54] 但勇猛的就像打上了烙印
[00:27.93] 这位善良的老太太有她的顾虑
[00:32.31] 担心他们会被证明是力不能及的
[00:39.02] 因此她睿智的寻找
[00:43.46] 那些有勇谋、有模子
[00:48.05] 有如钢铁般的勇气和结实的肌肉的人
[00:52.29] 就像那些生活在远古时代的人
[00:56.87] 她需要勇冠三军的士兵
[01:01.45] 赤胆忠心和粗糙厚重的手臂
[01:05.74] 就算挥舞着鹤嘴锤也能战斗
[01:10.08] 又或是能用沙土筑起防御墙
[01:19.37] 亦或者她应该自己正面迎敌
[01:23.61] 敌军威胁到了她的西部边境
[01:28.30] 她需要有志愿兵前去抗战
[01:32.62] 当她被告知要开辟道路前去西部
[01:36.96] 还是下令撤退志愿兵
[01:41.44] 带着可能让他们延误的背囊
[01:45.93] 会大大削弱他们的力量
[01:50.42] 伸出援手助他们一臂之力
[01:59.76] 或是当军医没能及时挽救
[02:03.85] 有人死于风寒
[02:08.35] 即使工作如此轻松的人
[02:12.59] 会自愿帮他们挖坑埋葬他们吗
[02:17.13] 出于这些种种原因和这些合乎情理的理由
[02:21.47] 当老维吉尼亚亲临战场
[02:26.15] 她仔细考量了战场
[02:30.49] 然后突然冲向站在射石弹基线的中卫
[03:13.29] 换句话说,改变局势
[03:17.52] 当她站起来拿起她的步枪
[03:21.96] 她把手指放在扳机上时
[03:26.41] 她是想缓慢前行,而不是轻举妄动
[03:30.73] 她就像这样站着,却又缺乏
[03:35.32] 一些正规军的架势
[03:39.76] 她带着三百号爱尔兰人
[03:44.20] 组建了她的第一营
[03:53.29] 当战争的风暴来袭
[03:58.04] 在最凶猛的敌军侵袭的地方
[04:02.12] 在那儿他们会猛烈的进攻,火列星屯
[04:06.45] 她会打造出一支最勇敢的营
