When I was a young man I carried me pack

And I lived the free life of the rover

From the Murray's green basin

To the dusty outback

去往尘土飞扬的内陆

I waltzed my Matilda all over

Then in 1915 my country said: Son

It's time to stop rambling

There's work to be done

And they gave me a gun

And they sent me away to the war

When the ship pulled away from the quay

And amid all the tears

泪流满面

Flag waving and cheers

旗帜迎风飘扬欢呼雀跃

We sailed off for Gallipoli

It well I remember that terrible day

When our blood stained the sand and the water

And how in that hell they call Suvla Bay

We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter

Johnny Turk he was ready

Just tried to survive

In that mad world of blood

Death and fire

And for ten weary weeks

I kept myself alive

While around me the corpses piled higher

Then a big Turkish shell

Knocked me arse over head

And when I awoke in me hospital bed

And saw what it had done I wished I was dead

I never knew there was worse things than dying

Oh no more I'll go Waltzing Matilda

All around the green bush far and near

For to hump tent and pegs a man needs both legs

No more waltzing Matilda for me

They collected the wounded
