Her whiskered pandoors and her fierce hussars;
她那留著胡須的殘忍的士兵和她激烈的輕騎兵;
Waved her dread standard to the breeze of morn
揮舞著她的恐懼在這早晨的微風(fēng)中,
Pealed her loud drum, and twanged her trumpet born:

Warsaw's last champion from her height surveyed

"O Heaven!" he cried, "my bleeding country save!
“天??!”他哭喊道:“我要保住我那正在流血的國(guó)家!

He said; and on the rampart-heights arrayed
他說(shuō),在這高高排列的城墻上;
His trusty warriors,—few, but undismayed;
他信賴的那些勇士們——雖然很少,但卻鎮(zhèn)定自若;
Firm-paced, and slow, a horrid front they form,
邁著緩慢而又堅(jiān)定地步伐,他們?cè)谇懊嬲纬梢粋€(gè)令人恐懼的隊(duì)伍,
Still as the breeze, but dreadful as the storm;
微風(fēng)依然柔和,但風(fēng)暴卻十分可怕;
Low, murmuring sounds along their banners fly,
低沉地在那飄揚(yáng)的國(guó)旗自言自語(yǔ),
"Revenge or death!"—the watchword and reply;
“復(fù)仇或死亡!”這口號(hào)在一直回復(fù)著;
Then pealed the notes, omnipotent to charm,

And the loud tocsin tolled their last alarm!
那響亮的警鐘敲響了最后的報(bào)警聲。
