Original poem:
Have I nothing to wear? Robe with my son. Wang Yuxing, fix my spear and be an enemy of Zi!
Have I nothing to wear? Take your son. Wang Yu started to repair my spear and halberd and work with his son!
Have I nothing to wear? Take your son. Wang Yuxing, train my soldiers and walk with my son!
Translation:
Who said there was no uniform? Take this robe. The king is going to send troops to fight, so repair our Rigomao quickly and fight with your same goal. Who said there was no uniform? Put on this shirt. Your majesty wants to send troops to fight, so hurry up and repair our spears and halberds and act with you to fight against the enemy. Who said there was no uniform? Put on this dress. The king is going to send troops to fight. Fix your armor and weapons quickly, and we will fight bravely together.

Poetry appreciation
The three chapters of the poem are all based on the problem of "not wearing clothes", and the rhetorical tone is abrupt and shocking. "Bronze Gun", "Together with Ze" and "Shang Tong" praised the soldiers' fighting will and optimism of unity and sharing weal and woe. The last three sentences of each chapter describe the scene of Wang Yu's promotion of the division. The people repaired spears, dressed up and bravely pounced on the enemy.
"Hate with Son", "Work with Son" and "Walk with Son" are repetitive and progressive at different levels. From expressing the passion of sharing weal and woe to calling each other to taking action, we all set out on the battlefield together, and sang the heroic spirit of Qin soldiers' indomitable resistance to aggression, full of gas field and leaping out again and again.
The whole poem is neat in form and lively in rhythm. Today, it is still strong. The generosity, optimism and mutual friendship of our ancestors and the courage to risk their lives to defend their homeland strongly inspire people. Therefore, the predecessors called it "swallowing the weather of the six countries."
