在奥斯特里茨和滑铁卢把尸体堆高，

Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.

将他们铲埋地下并让我工作—

Shovel them under and let me work—

我是草；我掩盖所有。

I am the grass; I cover all.

在盖底斯堡把他们堆高

And pile them high at Gettysburg

在伊波和凡尔登把他们堆高

And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.

将他们铲埋地下并让我工作。

Shovel them under and let me work.

两年，十年，然后乘客问列车员：

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:

这是什么地方？

What place is this?

我们现在何处？

Where are we now?

我是草。

I am the grass.

让我工作。

Let me work.
