让奥斯特里茨和滑铁卢尸如山积，

Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.

把他们铲进坑，再让我干活——

Shovel them under and let me work—

我是草；我掩盖一切。

I am the grass; I cover all.

让葛梯斯堡尸如山积，

让依普尔和凡尔登尸如山积，

And pile them high at Gettysburg

把他们铲进坑，再让我干活。

And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.

两年，十年，于是旅客们问乘务员：

Shovel them under and let me work.

这是什么地方？

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

我们到了何处？

What place is this?

Where are we now?

我是草。

让我干活。

I am the grass.

Let me work.
