This Is My Country ( by The Impressions)

Some people think we dont have the right
To say its my country
有些人認為我們沒有權利
Before they give in theyd rather fuss and fight
說這是我的國家
Than say its my country
在他們屈服前他們寧願大打出手
Ive paid three hundred years or more
再說這是我的國家
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，背上傷痕累累

這是我的國家
Too many have died in protecting my pride
無數人為捍衛我的尊嚴而死去
For me to go second class
為了再上一個階級
Weve survived a hard blow and I want you to know
我們在劇烈地打擊中存活下來，我想讓你知道
That you face us at last
你最後還是要面對我們
And I know you will give consideration
我知道你會考慮的
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
我們能否摒棄不公，像同一民族一樣平等而活
This is my country
這是我的國家

我知道你會考慮的
And I know you will give consideration
我們能否摒棄不公，像同一民族一樣平等而活
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
這是我的國家
This is my country
