Dark and stormy plains

Here all life abounds
這裡容納萬物生長
Sunlit valley, mountain fields

Unseen in the rain

Has soiled this paradise

So rich in earths delights

Stars that fill the night

Here all life abounds
這裡容納萬物生長
Rivers flowing to the sea

Sunshine pure and bright
陽光純淨艷麗
Here all life abounds
這裡容納萬物生長
No man rules this land

Filled with the visions of utopia

供我們這疲倦的種族
Is ready to arise
