When Britain first, at heaven's command, Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves, | 当不列颠第一次受到天国的指引， 从蔚蓝的海洋上崛起； 这是天赐这土地的权利， 守护天使唱出了这个旋律：
|
The nations not so blest as thee, Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves, | 于万邦之中你最圣洁， 必须要打倒暴君； 直至你伟大且自由之时， 让外邦都心怀嫉妒与恐惧。
|
| Still more majestic shalt thou rise, More dreadful, from each foreign stroke; As the loud blast that tears the skies, Serves but to root thy native oak.
| 你应当雄伟的崛起， 外邦的入侵只会使其更加畏惧； 一声巨吼了撕裂天空， 只为巩固我族橡树之根。
|
| Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame: All their attempts to bend thee down, Will but arouse thy generous flame; But work their woe, and thy renown.
| 傲慢的暴君永远无法征服我们： 所有妄想使你屈服的企图， 只会激起你慷慨的烈焰； 只会使其更加悲伤、使你更加激昂。
|
| To thee belongs the rural reign; Thy cities shall with commerce shine: All thine shall be the subject main, And every shore it circles thine.
| 你是乡村的统治者； 你的城市将因商业而闪耀： 你的一切都将从属于你， 主权环绕着你的每一个海岸。
|
| The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy coast repair; Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crown'd, And manly hearts to guard the fair.
| 那仍欲取得自由的缪斯， 将会重理你那欢乐的海岸； 祝福此岛平安！戴着无与伦比的宏伟王冠， 以雄心来引导和平。

歌詞 编辑
- When Britain fi-i-irst, at heaven's command,
- Aro-o-o-ose from out the a-a-a-zure main,
- Arose, arose, arose from out the a-azure main,
- This was the charter, the charter of the land,
- And guardian A-a-angels sang this strain:
- [Rule Britannia!
- Britannia rule the waves
- Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.]
- The nations, no-o-o-o-ot so blest as thee,
- Must i-i-i-i-in their turn, to ty-y--yrants fall,
- Must in, must in, must in their turn, to ty-y-rants fall,
- While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free,
- The dread and e-e-e-e-nvy of them all.
- [Rule Britannia!
- Britannia rule the waves.
- Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.]
- Still more maje-e-estic shalt thou rise,
- More dre-e-e-e-eadful from each foreign stroke,
- More dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke,
- As the loud blast, loud blast that tears the skies
- Serves but to ro-o-o-ot thy native oak.
- [Rule, Britannia!
- Britannia, rule the waves.
- Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.]
