我們是一群兄弟、我們是土裏生土裏長，
為誠實勞動而得的財產，我們共同奮戰；
我們的權利受威脅時，吶喊便從遠近升起，
萬歲！為了飾有一顆星的美麗的藍旗。
(合唱)
萬歲！萬歲！為了南方的權利!萬歲！
萬歲！為了飾有一顆星的美麗的藍旗。
只要聯邦信守她的職責，
我們就會像朋友兄弟一般友好公平；
但是，北方現在背信棄義想損害我們的權利，
我們要高高昇起飾有一顆星的美麗的藍旗。
首先是勇敢的南卡羅來納表明崇高的立場，
然後是亞拉巴馬來和她手聯手，
緊接著是密西西比、喬治亞和佛羅里達，
我們都高舉起飾有一顆星的美麗的藍旗。
你們是勇敢的人，聚集在正義的旗幟下，
德克薩斯和美麗的路易斯安那都參加我們的戰鬥，
戴維斯是我們敬愛的總統，史蒂文斯是難得的政治家，
現在都聚集在飾有一顆星的美麗的藍旗下。
勇敢的維吉尼亞，老資格的自治領，讓我們為她歡呼，
她終於將自己的命運和年輕的邦聯連在一起，
現在其他州受到她榜樣的鼓舞，
也準備高舉起飾有一顆星的美麗的藍旗。
那麼歡呼吧，孩子們，歡呼，痛快地喊吧，
阿肯色州和北卡羅來納現在都出來啦；
我們還要為田納西州高聲歡呼，
美麗的藍旗上一顆星已增到十一顆。
為我們的邦聯歡呼吧，我們強壯又勇敢，
就像古時的愛國者，我們為拯救傳統而戰，
我們寧死也不甘屈服受辱，
為飾有一顆星的美麗的藍旗歡呼吧。

The Bonnie Blue Flag
We are
a band of brothers, and native to the soil,
Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil;
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far;
Hurrah! for the bonnie blue flag that bears a Single star
CHORUS:
Hurrah! hurrah! for Southern rights! hurrah!
Hurrah! for the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star
As long
as the Union was faithful to her trust,
Like friends and like brothers, kind were we and just;
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar,
We hoist, on high, the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star.
First
gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand,
Then came Alabama who took her by the hand;
Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida,
All raised, on high, the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star.
Ye men
of valor, gather 『round the banner of the right,
Texas
and fair Louisianna join us in the fight
Davis, our loved President, and Stevens, statesman rare,
Now rally 'round the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star.
And
here』s to brave
Virginia,
the old Dominion State,
With the young Confederacy, at length, has linked her fate;
Impelled by her example now other States prepare
To hoist, on high, the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star.
Then
cheer, boys, cheer, raise the joyous shout--
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out;
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given--
The single star of the bonnie blue flag has grown to be eleven.
Then
here's to our Confederacy--strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old, we』ll fight our heritage to save;
And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer--
So cheer for the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star.
