Yeh, this one's for the workers who toil night and day 叶，这一个对谁日夜辛勤工作的工人

Have bled for your countries and counted your dead 流鼻血你的国家和你算死

We've often been told to keep up with the times 我们经常被告知跟上时代

For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job 对于并不需要我们的技术，他们已经精简了工作

And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed 与sliderule和秒表我们的骄傲，他们纷纷抢

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die 我们是第一批饿死，我们是第一批死

And we're always the last when the cream is shared out 而且我们总是最后当奶油共享出来

For the worker is working when the fat cat's about 对于工人工作时，肥猫的约

   

And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war 而当天空变暗，前景战争

Who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore 谁在给定的枪，然后推到了前台

And expected to die for the land of our birth 并预计死亡为我们的出生之地

Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth? 虽然我们从来没有拥有的一个糟糕的一把土？

From tilling the fields to carrying the gun 从耕携带枪

We've been yoked to the plough since time first began 我们已经同负一轭犁时间以来首次开始

And always expected to carry the can 总是希望随身携带罐
