Do you hear the people sing?
The first time I heard this song when I was seventeen. I learned to sing this due to School Singing contest. I knew the lyrics but never truly understood.
After over 20 years, I couldn't imagine I would experience the situation and be touching by the song. It became a song for all HongKongers and there was a Cantonese version produced by some HK youngsters. Every time I listen to the songs, there are teardrops in my eyes. I tried to translate the Cantonese lyrics and hope the world can understand us.
Do You Hear the Hong Kong People Sing? 問誰未發聲
試問誰還未發聲 Who doesn't speak out?
都捨我其誰衛我城 Who can protect our city other than me?
天生有權還有心可作主 I was born to be the master of my life
誰要認命噤聲 why should I be silent
試問誰能未覺醒 Who isn't awaking?
聽真那自由在奏鳴 The song of freedom is calling us
激起再難違背的那份良知和應 Our conscience is difficult to be neglected
為何美夢仍是個夢 Our dream is still a sweet dream
還想等恩賜泡影 This is not bestowed on us
為這黑與白這非與是 真與偽來做證 What is right and what is truth
為這世代有未來 要及時擦亮眼睛 We have to show them to our future
試問誰還未發聲 Who doesn't speak out?
都捨我其誰衛我城 Who can protect our city other than me?
天生有權還有心可作主 I was born to be the master of my life
誰要認命噤聲 why should I be silent
試問誰能未覺醒 Who isn't awaking?
聽真那自由在奏鳴 The song of freedom is calling us
激起再難違背的那份良知和應 Our conscience is difficult to be neglected
無人有權沉默 看著萬家燈火變了色
No one can be silent when the darkness is coming
問我心再用我手 去為選我命途力拼
Our heart will choose what we should fight for
人既是人 有責任有自由決定遠景
It's our responsibility to fight for our future
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
