Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.

让奥斯特里茨和滑铁卢尸如山积，

Shovel them under and let me work—

把他们铲进坑，再让我干活——

I am the grass; I cover all.

我是草；我掩盖一切。

让葛梯斯堡尸如山积，

And pile them high at Gettysburg

让依普尔和凡尔登尸如山积，

And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.

把他们铲进坑，再让我干活。

Shovel them under and let me work.

两年，十年，于是旅客们问乘务员：

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

这是什么地方？

What place is this?

我们到了何处？

Where are we now?

我是草。

I am the grass.

让我干活。

Let me work.
