常に備えあり
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.
アステカ沖に北極に、
欧州そして極東まで、
船には常に我らの旗がある。
仇敵が襲い来ようとも、
旗を降ろした事は一度たりとて無い。
我らの戦いぶりを見て、
誰が歓呼するだろうか。
(コーラス)
Surveyor and Narcissus,
The Eagle and Dispatch,
The Hudson and the Tampa,
These names are hard to match;
From Barrow's shores to Paraguay,
Great Lakes or Ocean's wave,
The Coast Guard fights through storms and winds
To punish or to save.
