美国海岸警卫队之歌——时刻准备着

二战版：

1.
海岸警卫队战斗在
东西南北方。
摧毁潜艇、运兵登陆，
轴心国明白我们的力量。
我们是最先锋，
在每个战场上。
我们海岸警卫队的盾徽
铭刻在水中、岸边、战士和桅杆上。

2.
从阿兹特克海岸到北极地带，
直到欧洲和远东。
我们的舰艇飘扬着国旗，
无论战争与和平。
我们从来没有失去过它，
无惧敌人的力量。
它为我们的船员一次次欢呼，
因为展示什么是战斗。

3.
测量师号和水仙号，
鹰号与调度号，
哈德逊号与坦帕号，
这些名字无与匹敌；
从巴罗角海岸到巴拉圭，
五大湖或大洋的波浪，
海岸警卫队在风暴中战斗，
为了惩罚或拯救。

4.
是的，我们一直“时刻准备着”，
工作，战斗，或死亡。
在给天空的信中，
把荣耀刻上我们的救生衣。
击沉敌人或救死扶伤，
是我们的使命和骄傲。
我们将继续直到天国降临，
直到我们灵魂的尽头。

副歌

我们随时待召唤，
我们信任你。
狂风巨浪，枪炮轰鸣，
直到赢得胜利。
“时刻准备着”
是我们的向导、誓言和座右铭。
我们“永远准备好”，战斗或死亡！
是啊！海岸警卫队，我们为你而战。

Semper Paratus (Always Ready)

From North and South and East and West,
The Coast Guard's in the fight.
Destroying subs and landing troops,
The Axis feels our might.
For we're the first invaders,
On every fighting field.
Afloat, ashore, on men and Spars,
You'll find the Coast Guard shield.

From Aztec shore to Arctic zone,
To Europe and Far East.
The Flag is carried by our ships,
In times of war and peace.
And never have we struck it yet,
In spite of foe-men's might,
Who cheered our crews and cheered again,
For showing how to fight.

SURVEYOR and NARCISSUS,
The EAGLE and DISPATCH,
The HUDSON and the TAMPA
The names are hard to match;
From Barrow's shores to Paraguay,
Great Lakes or ocean's wave,
The Coast Guard fought through storms and winds
To punish or to save.

Aye, we've been "Always Ready"
To do, to fight, or die
Write glory to the shield we wear
In letters to the sky.
To sink the foe or save the maimed
Our mission and our pride
We'll carry on 'til Kingdom Come
Ideals for which we've died.

We're always ready for the call,
We place our trust in Thee.
Through howling gale and shot and shell,
To win our victory.
"Semper Paratus" is our guide,
Our pledge, our motto, too.
We're "Always Ready," do or die!
Aye! Coast Guard, we fight for you

现代版删掉了二战版的第一节，副歌的歌词也有改动：

这就是海岸警卫队的进行曲。
我们在陆地或海中歌唱。
冲破咆哮暴风和怒涛。
我们崇高的使命——
“时刻准备着”
是我们的向导、骄傲和荣耀。
奋战救生，或战斗至死。
是啊！我们为了海岸警卫队！

So here's the Coast Guard marching song,
We sing on land or sea.
Through surf and storm and howling gale,
High shall our purpose be,
"Semper Paratus" is our guide,
Our fame, our glory, too.
To fight to save or fight and die!
Aye! Coast Guard, we are for you.
