歌词与翻译

[中文]

这是我的同胞

先祖长眠的故土

这是我的同胞

手足同心 传承生存信条

信条宣告着至亲血迹

这是我的土地 我的同胞

这是我的同胞

生于斯长于斯的子民

汗水浇筑城市的脊梁

坚毅面容诉说守望

这片热土 我的同胞

这是我的同胞

志在摘星揽月的人们

大地明灯 血脉相承

踏出新步 破晓将至

为了故土 我的同胞

这是我的同胞

...

[英语]

These are my people

This is the land where my forefathers lie

These are my people

In brotherhood we're heirs of a creed to live by

A creed that proclaims that by loved ones blood stains

This is my land and these are my people

These are my people

They were born on and lived by the land

These are my people and their cities were raised by hard working hands

And their faces to tell that they're holding on well

To this their land yes these are my people

These are my people

These are the ones who will reach for the stars

These are my people that a light of the earth you can tell they are ours

A new step to take and a new day will break

For this my land yes these are my people

These are my people hmmm
