美丽的黄昏星，西方的明灯！你是

Fair Star of evening, Splendour of the west,

 我的祖国的星辰！地平线上方

 Star of my Country!—on the horizon's brink

 只见你荧荧孤悬，缓缓下降，

 Thou hangest, stooping, as might seem, to sink

仿佛要投入英格兰怀中；同时

On England's bosom; yet well pleased to rest,

又乐于留在天边，做一颗宝石，

Meanwhile, and be to her a glorious crest

 在她华冠上闪耀，让万国瞻仰。 

 Conspicuous to the Nations. Thou, I think,

 你该是英国的标志；该披上盛装，

 Shouldst be my Country's emblem; and shouldst wink,

开怀欢笑，映照着她的旗帜。

Bright Star! with laughter on her banners, drest

你下边，黑幽幽一片，那就是英国。

In thy fresh beauty. There! that dusky spot

 愿上天赐福于你们两者！给你们 

 Beneath thee, that is England; there she lies.

同样的希望，同样的命运和生活，

Blessings be on you both! one hope, one lot,

  同样的荣耀！为英国，我耿耿多忧，

  One life, one glory!—I, with many a fear

 频频长叹——当我伴随着一群

 For my dear Country, many heartfelt sighs,

  不爱英国的异邦人，在此地羁留。

  Among men who do not love her, linger here.
