希望與榮耀之土

Land of Hope and Glory

Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned.

親愛的希望之地，妳是被冠以希望的。

God make thee mightier yet!

上帝使妳更加偉大！
On Sov'reign brows, beloved, renowned,

在權威之顛，敬愛而聲名遠揚，
Once more thy crown is set.

再一次妳的榮冠被確定。
Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained,

藉由獲得的自由妳有了平等的法律，
Have ruled thee well and long;

已長期又良好地統治了妳們；
By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained,

藉由獲得自由和維持真理，
Thine Empire shall be strong.

妳們的王國將是強盛的。

Land of Hope and Glory,

希望與榮耀之土，
Mother of the Free,

自由的母親
How shall we extol thee,

我們應如何讚美妳，
Who are born of thee?

誰是妳孕育而出?
Wider still and wider Shall thy bounds be set;

妳的疆土會越來越廣；
God, who made thee mighty,

讓妳偉大的上帝，
Make thee mightier yet

會使妳愈來愈強大
God, who made thee mighty,

讓妳偉大的上帝，
Make thee mightier yet.

Thy fame is ancient as the days,

妳的名聲像時間一樣古老，
As Ocean large and wide

像海洋一樣大而廣。
A pride that dares, and heeds not praise,

勇於面對的榮耀，專注而不崇拜，
A stern and silent pride

是一份決心和寧靜的榮耀
Not that false joy that dreams content

而不是幻想著虛假喜悅
With what our sires have won;

藉由我們祖先所贏得
The blood a hero sire hath spent

英雄祖先洒下的熱血
Still nerves a hero son.

將繼續激勵英雄之子
