The thieves left our land in disarray
Can you see the tears on our faces?
Why? tears and sorrow floods the land.
Imprisoned the brave and cried “Obey!”
Can you feel the rages of our cries?
Why? The streets are burning with rage and wrath
Our freedom’s endowed, dare they take it away
Rise up and speak up! Our voice echoes.
Arise, dear comrades, (to the trumpet’s sound) (or: to the barricade) (or: let your voice be heard) (or: for the dream we share
Revolution’s the only way
Wish the freedom will be there.
Freedom be to Hong Kong*
Against tyranny we shall fight
Can you see the fear haunted us?
We fear, yet we shall stand our ground.
Hold tight to the truth, and have no fright
With faith, we shall never going back.
We hope, for this we never back off.
Arise! Save our isle from the darkest plight
Make a sacrifice, we shall move forward
With blood, tears and sweat** we shall stride ahead
With blood and sweat we’ll find the brilliant light
for our beloved Hong Kong.
for this glorious liberal land
So-called motherland’s had us deceived
We may feel lost in one misery night.
The moon is dark and stars are burning out
And the despots’ occupation’s unrelieved
Inside the fog, the horn of conscience summon us.
In the fog, from afar, arrives the trumpet’s sound
We the people will not be tamed, and we shall proclaim
“For freedom! To stand up again, it’s not the end-game!
For freedom! We’ll fight in the streets; we’ll fight in the fields.
We shall go on until the end!***”
Behold, the dawn. Let’s revive our Hong Kong!
Revolution of our time! For righteousness!
Long lives liberty and democracy
Glory be to Hong Kong*
Our name, regain our rightful fame
Courage, wisdom, are long with us.”
The dawn is nigh, though the night may seem long
The dawn has come. Let’s revive our Hong Kong!
Our age arrives, may the righteous stand strong
Revolution of our time! For righteousness!
With our free hearts and minds, we’ll succeed and return
Democracy, n’liberty, wish them long last here
All the glory to Hong Kong
