Lone Pine

Grunting with exertion they pried up the log roofGruñendo con esfuerzo levantaron el techo de troncos

Those hardened Diggers who seemed somewhat aloofEsos Diggers endurecidos que parecían algo distantes

Their snarling faces glared into the darkness belowSus rostros gruñones miraban hacia la oscuridad debajo

Blackened figures hardly seen, swaying to and fro.Figuras ennegrecidas apenas visibles, balanceándose de un lado a otro.

Curses uncounted and fighting unseenMaldiciones incontables y luchando sin verse

In darkness they fought amidst uncanny screamsEn la oscuridad pelearon entre gritos extraños

Inm pine covered trenches they night quickly cameEn trincheras cubiertas de pinos llegó rápidamente la noche

An unlikely victory in a doomed campaign.Una victoria improbable en una campaña condenada.

Twenty minutes of terror and they took the main trenchVeinte minutos de terror y tomaron la trinchera principal

A prelude to four days fighting in a nauseating stenchUn preludio a cuatro días de lucha en un hedor nauseabundo

But Lone Pine was for the keepingPero Lone Pine era para conservar

A worthy victory at lastUna victoria digna al fin

Though with two thousand casualties the cost, it seems so vast.Aunque con dos mil bajas, el costo parece tan vasto.
