This Is My Country ( by The Impressions)

Some people think we don't have the right
To say it's my country
有些人认为我们没有权利
Before they give in they'd rather fuss and fight
说这是我的国家
Than say it's my country
在他们屈服前他们宁愿大打出手
I've paid three hundred years or more
再说这是我的国家
Of slave driving sweat and welts on my back
我花了三百多年甚至更久
This is my country
承受因被奴役流下的汗水，背上伤痕累累

这是我的国家
Too many have died in protecting my pride
无数人为捍卫我的尊严而死去
For me to go second class
为了再上一个阶级
We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know
我们在剧烈地打击中存活下来，我想让你知道
That you face us at last
你最后还是要面对我们
And I know you will give consideration
我知道你会考虑的
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
我们能否摒弃不公，像同一民族一样平等而活
This is my country
这是我的国家

我知道你会考虑的
And I know you will give consideration
我们能否摒弃不公，像同一民族一样平等而活
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
这是我的国家
This is my country
