Weep, daughter of a royal line,
為父王的恥辱,王國的衰頹,
A Sire’s disgrace, a realm’s decay;
你盡情哭泣吧,皇家的公主!
Ah! happy if each tear of thine
但愿你的每一滴淚水
Could wash a father’s fault away!
能洗掉父親一樁錯處。
Weep—for thy tears are Virtue’s tears—
你的眼淚是“美德”的眼淚,
Auspicious to these suffering isles;
將為這多難的島國造福;
And be each drop in future years
人民將會在未來的年歲
Repaid thee by thy people’s smiles!
以笑顏回報你每一滴淚珠。
