My name is john Riley

I'll have your ear only a while
请听我片刻诉说
I left my dear home in Ireland

It was death starvation or exile
只因饥荒与流亡的逼迫
And when I got to America

It was my duty to go
从军便是我的使命
Enter the army and slog across Texas
穿越德克萨斯的泥泞
To join in the war against Mexico

It was there in the pueblos and hillsides
就在那些村庄与山坡之间
That I saw the mistake I had made

Part of a conquering army

With the morals of a bayonet blade
却带着刺刀般的冷酷道德
So in the midst of these poor dying Catholics
当垂死的天主教徒们中间
Screaming children the burning stench of it all
孩童哭喊 焦臭弥漫这一切
Myself and two hundred Irishmen

Decided to rise to the call

We marched 'neath the green flag of saint Patrick

Emblazoned with Erin go Bragg

And libertad para Mexicali

Just fifty years after wolf tone

Amidst these brown skinned women and men
