If not the soil of Rhodesia
倘若不是罗得西亚的国土，又会是什么
Rhodesia still lies in all the slain wild beasts

And in the wind of the cotton land still in their lungs
依旧留存在它们的肺里，在棉花地吹拂的风中
And their sightless eyes of a honeydew sun
在它们那蜜色太阳的盲眼中
Now we're sleeping in circles
此时我们围成圆圈入眠
On the stones of silverstream
在清澈溪流的石上
Under nectar-weeping trees
在泣出甘露的树下
Through blood-curdling screams
在令人悚然的尖叫声中
