Written by：Holland'

I rode out on a bright May morning
我在一个明亮的五月早晨出发
Like a hero in a song
如同歌中的英雄
Looking for a place called England
寻找一个叫做英格兰的地方
Trying to find where I belong
试图找到属于我的归属
Couldn't find the old flood meadow
却找不到昔日的洪泛草地
Or the house that I once knew
也找不到我曾熟悉的房屋
No trace of the little river
那条小河的踪迹已无处可寻
Or the garden where I grew
还有我成长的花园也已消失
I saw town and I saw country
我看见了城镇，也看见了乡村
Motorway and sink estate
高速公路与破败的住宅区
Rich man in his rolling acres
富人在他广阔的庄园中
Poor man still outside the gate
穷人依旧被拒之门外
Retail park and burger kingdom
购物中心与快餐王国
Prairie field and factory farm
草原田野与工厂农场
Run by men who think that England's
由那些认为英格兰只是
Only a place to park their car
一个停车场的男人经营
But as the train pulled from the station
当火车缓缓驶离车站
Through the wastelands of despair
穿过绝望的荒原
From the corner of my eye
从我的眼角余光中
A brightness filled the filthy air
一抹明亮驱散了污浊的空气
Someone's grown a patch of sunflowers
有人在黑色的土地上
Though the soil is sooty black
种下了一片向日葵
Marigolds and a few tomatoes
还有金盏花和几株番茄
Right beside the railway track
就在铁轨旁静静生长
Down behind the terraced houses
在排屋的背后
In between the concrete towers
在混凝土塔楼之间
Compost heaps and scarlet runners
堆肥堆和红花菜豆
Secret gardens full of flowers
秘密花园里开满了花朵
Meeta grows the scent of roses
米塔种出了玫瑰的芬芳
Right beneath the big jet's path
就在大飞机的航线下
Bid a fortune for her garden
为她的花园出价高昂
Eileen turns away and laughs
艾琳转身一笑置之
So rise up George and wake up Arthur
乔治，醒来吧，亚瑟，醒来吧
Time to rouse out from your sleep
是时候从沉睡中苏醒
Deck the horse in the sea-green ribbons
为马儿披上海绿色的丝带
Drag the old sword from the deep
从深海中拔出古老的剑
Hold the line for Dave and Daniel
为戴夫和丹尼尔坚守阵地
As they tunnel through the clay
他们在泥土中奋力前行
While the oak in all its glory
而橡树在它的荣耀中
Soaks up sun for one more day
吸收着阳光，迎接新的一天
And come all you at home with freedom
来吧，所有热爱自由的人们
Whatever the land that gave you birth
无论你出生在何方
There's room for you both root and branch
这里都有你扎根与生长的空间
As long as you love the English earth
只要你热爱这片英格兰的土地
Room for vole and room for orchid
为田鼠和兰花留一片天地
Room for all to grow and thrive
让所有生命都能茁壮成长
Just less room for the fat landowner
只是少一些空间给那些贪婪的地主
On his arse in his four-wheel drive
他们坐在四轮驱动车里，无所事事
England is not flag or Empire
英格兰不是旗帜或帝国
It is not money it is not blood
它不是金钱，也不是血脉
It's limestone gorge and granite fell
它是石灰岩峡谷和花岗岩山丘
It's Wealden clay and Severn mud
它是威尔登黏土和塞文河泥
It's blackbird singing from the may-tree
它是五月树上歌唱的黑鸟
Lark ascending through the scales
云雀在音阶中攀升
Robin watching from your spade
知更鸟在你的铲子上观望
And English earth beneath your nails
英格兰的泥土嵌入你的指甲
So here's two cheers for a place called England
为这片名为英格兰的土地欢呼两声
Badly used but not yet dead
虽被糟蹋却未消亡
A Mr. Harding sort of England

Hanging in there by a thread
仅凭一线希望苦苦支撑
Here's two cheers for the crazy Diggers
为那些疯狂的掘地者欢呼两声
Now their hour shall come around
如今他们的时刻终将到来
We should plant the seed they saved us
