Success is counted sweetest
从未成功的人认为,
By those who ne'er succeed.
成功的滋味甜美无比。
To comprehend a nectar
必须要有强烈的需求,
Requires sorest need.
方能领会花蜜的美味。
Not one of all the purple host
那最显赫的人身着紫衣,
Who took the flag today
执掌今日的大旗,
Can tell the definition
似乎没有人能像他们那样,
So clear,of victory,
明了胜利的真谛。
As he,defeated,dying,
当他战败后垂死,
On—whose forbideen ear
失聪的耳边突然响起
The distant strains of triumph
遥远的凯歌旋律
Break,agonized and clear.
竟如此痛苦而清晰。
