Sandalwood trees are evergreen
檀香树四季常青
Cut them down
却遭无情砍伐
Plant coffee beans
改种咖啡豆苗
Build no schools
不建半间学堂
Construct no roads
不修一条道路
Mark them as fools
任其愚昧蒙羞
Let ignorance rule
让无知主宰命运
Leave them stranded on their island
任其困守孤岛
Treat them to the tune of silence
以沉默的旋律款待他们
Red is the cross that covers out shame
红十字掩埋着我们的耻辱
Every kingdom every land
每个王国 每片土地
Has it's heart in the common man
都跳动着平凡人的心脏
Silently the tide shifts the sand
潮水无声地推移沙粒
Bury my heart on east timor
将我的心葬在东帝汶
In coral sands
葬在珊瑚沙间
On golden shores
金色海岸边
Buried are those
长眠于此的
Who lived their lives
是那些曾活过的人们
No place to hide for
无处可逃
Father and child
父亲与孩童
Leave them stranded on their island
任其困守孤岛
Treat them to the tune of silence
以沉默的旋律款待他们
We shake the hands that kill and forgive
我们握过杀戮之手 又选择宽恕
Every kingdom every land
每个王国 每片土地
Has its heart in the common man
平凡之人心系天下
Silently the tide shifts the sand
潮水无声地推移沙粒
Bury my heart on east timor
将我的心葬在东帝汶
On barren graves
在这贫瘠的坟茔
Where flowers won't grow
寸草不生的土地
Blooms our red cross lovingly
红十字之花温柔绽放
This nightingale deed
这夜莺般的善行
Now we can be free
终使我们得自由
Stranded on their island
困守在这座孤岛
This army of the silent
这支沉默的军团
We toast our own goodwill and forget
我们举杯自诩善意 却选择遗忘
Every kingdom every land
每个王国 每片土地
Has its heart in the common man
平凡之人心系天下
Silently the tide shifts the sand
潮水无声地推移沙粒
