Can you hear the sound, of footsteps gather round? 你能听到的声音，脚步围着？

Loud and clear, been going round here for years 嘹亮，一直兜兜这里年

From land to the sea, from shackle to city streets 从陆地到海洋，从卸到城市街道

They struggle and strike, troubling through day and night 他们的斗争和打击，经过日夜困扰

Two colours of skin, who stand here to all join in 两种颜色的皮肤，谁站在这里，向所有参加

Among the crowd, say all loud 在人群中，说所有的响亮

The time is now, for the rising, 现在正是时候，因为上升，

Of the ghetto 贫民窟的

For the rising, of the ghetto 对于贫民窟的上升，

   

There's no turning around, we will never be put down 有没有转过来，我们绝不会放下

Alive and well, we have not the time to fear 活得很好，我们没有害怕的时候

It's here and it's real, for all who can see and feel 它在这里，它是真实的，所有谁能够看得见，摸得着

To speak up for truth, to speak up for me and you 讲了真相，说出来我和你

   

Time and again, it ways for us to join in 一次又一次，它的方式为我们捧场

Among the crowd, say out loud 在人群中，大声说出来

The time is now, for the rising, 现在正是时候，因为上升，

Of the ghetto 贫民窟的

For the rising, of the ghetto 对于贫民窟的上升，

   

Well it's been a long time, here on the wrong side 那么它是一个漫长的时间，这里就错边

Running from flashlights, in alleys on dark nights 从手电筒运行，在漆黑的夜晚小巷

Watching the home team, 看主队，

And keep us at arm's reach, in case there's a war to feed in 并让我们在伸手可及的地方，万一有战争的饲料

And it's been the same around here, for years 而且它已经同在这里，多年

And everybody's tired of the fellows 每个人都累了的家伙

Who try to make it hard, to live, around here 谁尽量做到难，生活，在这里

Get ready for the rising of the ghetto, whoa. 准备好了贫民窟的兴起，哇。
