Van Diemen's Land

Hold me now, oh hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
请抱紧我,直至时钟走完这一圈
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land
我将随着海浪前往Van Diemen

It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
忍受屈辱,向亲人诀别,
We fought for justice and not for gain
我们为了正义而战，而非利益
But the magistrate sent me away
但昏君却将我放逐

Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
从今往后在其统治下,穷人将不堪一生,
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
他们撕裂了土地也撕裂了双手
But a day will come in this dawning age
光明终将会在黎明后出现
When an honest man sees an honest wage
人们一分耕耘就会有一分收获
