It‘s the realest history that has not been recorded in any book

這是一段最真實的歷史，卻沒有被任何書本記錄

But through poetry, that universal rather than accident revealed

但是對于詩歌來說，揭露的是普遍真理而非特殊事件

The people, who by bulk of labour had their back droop

那些人，由于繁重的勞作無法直起腰來

Without any mercy, their abject life concealed

得不到任何仁慈，他們凄慘的生命被隱藏起來

Getting spent, by the very atom of their strength.

筋疲力盡，他們耗盡了渾身任何一絲精力

With nothing acquired, except bare skin and regular ration.

卻并沒有獲得什么，除了**的皮膚和定量的飲食。

People have their decease all equally at length

當人們死了之后，都會平等的進入天國

But it‘s getting different in the vale of tears, or we called nations.

但是對于塵世，或者是國家來說一切都不同

Like a wave billowing forward that never cease.

正如洶涌澎湃的波浪一樣永不止息

Where do they dwelled but can’t call home？

哪里是他們居住卻無法稱作“家鄉(xiāng)”的地方？

Look, To the Glory that was Greece,

你看，那希臘帝國的榮光

And, To the Grandeur that was Rome.

還有，那羅馬帝國的輝煌。
