Van Diemens 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
