我们没有自己的骆驼调
帮咱们晃晃悠悠往前走,
可每根脖子都是把头发长号
(嘚嘚嘚嘚!就是把头发长号!)
这便是咱们的行军歌:
_不能!不干!偏不!不肯!_
顺着队伍传下去!
谁的背包从背上滑了落,
但愿那只是我的!
谁的家什在道上翻了车——
为歇脚和吵闹齐欢呼!
_呜噜!呀哈!嗷!啊哈!_
这会儿有人正挨收拾!
众兽齐声
我们是营地的儿女,
各按本分来效力;
轭与刺棒下的儿女,
驮包鞍具、垫子重物。
看我们横越平原的行列,
像卷回的系蹄绳般曲折,
伸展、扭动、滚滚向前,
横扫一切奔赴作战!
而行进在旁的那些人,
满身尘土、沉默、倦眼昏沉,
说不清为何咱与他们
日复一日行军受困。
_我们是营地的儿女,
各按本分来效力;
轭与刺棒下的儿女,
驮包鞍具、垫子重物!_
We haven’t a camelty tune of our own
To help us trollop along,
But every neck is a hair trombone
(_Rtt-ta-ta-ta!_ is a hair trombone!)
And this our marching-song:
_Can’t! Don’t! Sha’n’t! Won’t!_
Pass it along the line!
Somebody’s pack has slid from his back,
Wish it were only mine!
Somebody’s load has tipped off in the road--
Cheer for a halt and a row!
_Urrr! Yarrh! Grr! Arrh!_
Somebody’s catching it now!
ALL THE BEASTS TOGETHER
Children of the Camp are we,
Serving each in his degree;
Children of the yoke and goad,
Pack and harness, pad and load.
See our line across the plain,
Like a heel-rope bent again,
Reaching, writhing, rolling far,
Sweeping all away to war!
While the men that walk beside,
Dusty, silent, heavy-eyed,
Cannot tell why we or they
March and suffer day by day.
_Children of the Camp are we,
Serving each in his degree;
Children of the yoke and goad,
Pack and harness, pad and load!_
