词条 | The Old Brigade |
释义 |
This is a slow march that is always played in Britain at the annual Festival of Remembrance and at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday when the Chelsea Pensioners march. Lyrics of the Old BrigadeWhere are the boys of the old Brigade, Who fought with us side by side? Shoulder to shoulder, and blade by blade, Fought till they fell and died! Who so ready and undismayed? Who so merry and true? Where are the boys of the old Brigade? Where are the lads we knew? Steadily blade by blade! Ready and strong, marching along Like the boys of the old Brigade! Over the sea far away they lie, Far from the land of their love; Nations alter, the years go by, But Heav’n still is Heav’n above, Not in the abbey proudly laid Find they a place or part; The gallant boys of the old Brigade, They sleep in old England’s heart. Steadily blade by blade! Ready and strong, marching along Like the boys of the old Brigade! These words are now in the public domain.
