Lyrics by：Wilfred Owen

Composed by：Benjamin Britten

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle

为如牲畜般死去的他们敲响丧钟

Only the monstrous anger of the guns

唯有枪炮的暴怒在咆哮

Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle

唯有步枪断续的哒哒作响

Can patter out their hasty orisons

匆匆念完他们的祷词

No mockeries now for them no prayers nor bells

此刻没有嘲弄 没有祈祷 没有钟声

Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs

也没有任何哀悼的声音 除了合唱

The shrill demented choirs of wailing shells

那炮弹哀鸣的疯狂合唱

And bugles calling for them from sad shires

和远方悲凉郡县为他们吹响的号角

What candles may be held to speed them all

何须烛火为他们送行

Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes

不在少年手中 而在他们眼底

Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes

闪烁着告别的圣洁微光

The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall

少女苍白的眉宇化作他们的灵柩

Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds

坚韧心灵绽放的花朵是他们的祭奠

And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds

每个迟暮都似缓缓垂落的帷帘
