The flags flung out from the steeples of churches,

旗帜猎猎地飘展在教堂尖顶
and from all the public buildings and stores;

以及所有公共建筑和店铺上飞扬
The tearful parting--

含泪的离别
the mother kisses her son--the son kisses the mother;

母亲吻着儿子儿子吻着母亲，
Loth is the mother to part--yet

母亲害怕分离
not a word does she speak to detain him;

可是一句挽留的话也不讲
War, an armed race is advancing;

战争一个武装的民族正在前行
the welcome for battle.

迎接战斗
No turning away now.

决不逃遁
War, be it weeks, months or years,

战争任它几星期几个月或者几年
an armed race is advancing and it welcomes it."

一个武装的民族正在前去欢迎
