Weep, daughter of a royal line,

为父王的耻辱，王国的衰颓，

A Sire's disgrace, a realm's decay;

你尽情哭泣吧，皇家的公主!

Ah! happy if each tear of thine

但愿你的每一滴泪水

Could wash a father's fault away!

能洗掉父亲一桩错处。

Weep—for thy tears are Virtue's tears—

你的眼泪是“美德”的眼泪，

Auspicious¹ to these suffering isles²;

将为这多难的岛国造福;

And be each drop in future years

人民将会在未来的年岁

Repaid thee by thy people's smiles!

以笑颜回报你每一滴泪珠。
