原歌词

[00:00.000]	作曲 : Author Unknown
[00:00.183]	You working men of England one moment now attend
[00:05.503]	While I unfold the treatment of the poor upon this land
[00:11.015]	For nowadays the factory lords have brought the labour low
[00:15.804]	And daily are contriving plans to prove our overthrow
[00:21.910]	So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[00:29.883]	They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town
[00:38.406]
[00:38.937]	There's different parts in Ireland, it's true what I do state
[00:44.782]	There's hundreds more are starving for they can't get food to eat
[00:49.780]	And if they go unto the rich to ask them for relief
[00:54.306]	They bang their door all in their face as if they were a thief
[01:00.691]	So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[01:08.672]	They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town
[01:17.266]
[01:17.269]	Alas how altered are the times, rich men despise the poor
[01:23.098]	And pay them off without remorse, quite scornful at their door
[01:28.671]	And if a man is out of work his Parish pay is small
[01:33.741]	It's enough to starve himself and wife, his children and all
[01:39.328]	So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[01:46.769]	They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town
[01:55.256]
[01:55.792]	So to conclude and finish these few verses I have made
[02:01.364]	I hope to see before it's long men for their labour paid
[02:07.469]	Then we'll rejoice with heart and voice and banish all our woes
[02:12.525]	But before we do old England must pay us what she owes
[02:18.631]	So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[02:26.593]	They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town
[02:34.842]	So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[02:44.397]	They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town

歌词翻译

[00:00.183]	英格兰的工人啊且听我一言
[00:05.503]	我将揭露这片土地上穷苦人的遭遇
[00:11.015]	尽管近来工厂主们降低了劳动强度
[00:15.804]	但他们仍在整日计划推翻我们的成果
[00:21.910]	所以自由之子，起来啊！这个世界已然颠倒错位
[00:29.883]	在城镇与乡间，他们都将穷苦人视若窃贼！
[00:38.406]
[00:38.937]	我所说的一切在爱尔兰的各地正切实地发生：
[00:44.782]	由于食物短缺，成百上千的人正在挨饿
[00:49.780]	如果他们去富人处乞求施舍
[00:54.306]	富人们就将他们如窃贼般拒之门外
[01:00.691]	所以自由之子，起来啊！这个世界已然颠倒错位
[01:08.672]	在城镇与乡间，他们都将穷苦人视若窃贼！
[01:17.266]
[01:17.269]	啊，这个时代如此颠倒，富人这样鄙夷穷人
[01:23.098]	他们轻蔑地在站自己的门前，解雇穷人而毫无悔意
[01:28.671]	失业者的救济金又极其微薄
[01:33.741]	只能让他自己和他的妻儿都陷入饥饿
[01:39.328]	所以自由之子，起来啊！这个世界已然颠倒错位
[01:46.769]	在城镇与乡间，他们都将穷苦人视若窃贼！
[01:55.256]
[01:55.792]	我的几句诗篇便到此为止
[02:01.364]	我希望看见劳动者都得到自己应有的一份酬报
[02:07.469]	到那时我们将全心地、高声地庆贺，抛弃一切忧愁
[02:12.525]	但在那之前，古老的英格兰应付给我们她所亏欠的一切
[02:18.631]	所以自由之子，起来啊！这个世界已然颠倒错位
[02:26.593]	在城镇与乡间，他们都将穷苦人视若窃贼！
[02:34.842]	所以自由之子，起来啊！这个世界已然颠倒错位
[02:44.397]	在城镇与乡间，他们都将穷苦人视若窃贼！
