I Vow To Thee My Country
祖國我向你立誓
歌詞:Ceicil Spring-Rice外交官(Words by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice )
歌曲:霍爾斯特的「行星組曲」No.4「木星」
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
我的祖國 我向你立誓 獻出我所有俗世的事物
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
毫無保留獻出一切 衷心以愛為你付出
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
那愛不問原因 那愛是經得起考驗
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
獻於聖壇之上的它絕對真摯美好
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
那愛從不迷失 那愛值得付出一切
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
那愛讓無畏的人願做最後的犧牲
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
但還有另一個國家 我在很久以前曾聽過
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
最親愛的人都愛她 最偉大的人知她
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
我們或許不能計算她的軍力 我們或許無法見到她的君王
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
雖然她的捍衛碉堡是忠實的心 她的榮耀是殉難
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
她的國界仍從一心傳至另一心默默地增廣
And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.
她的道路是溫柔之路 所有的足跡都是和平
