He had concubines and wives
Dia punya selir dan istri
He called his Babylon “Paradise”
Dia memanggil Babel-nya “Surga”
On his throne he drank and ate
Di atas takhtanya ia minum dan makan
But for Belshazzer it was getting late
Tapi bagi Belshazzer sudah terlambat

Chorus:
Paduan suara:
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
Karena dia ditimbang dalam keseimbangan dan menemukan keinginan
His kingdom was divided, couldn’t stand
Kerajaannya terbagi, tidak bisa berdiri
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
Dia ditimbang dalam keseimbangan dan menemukan keinginan
His houses were built upon the sand
Rumah-rumahnya dibangun di atas pasir

The people feast and drank their wine
Orang-orang berpesta dan minum anggur mereka
And praised the false gods of his time
Dan memuji dewa-dewa palsu pada masanya
All holy things were scorned and mocked
Semua hal suci dicemooh dan diejek
But suddenly all their mocking stopped
Tapi tiba-tiba semua ejekan mereka berhenti

For on the wall there appeared a hand
Karena di dinding tampak ada sebuah tangan
Nothing else, there was no man
Tidak ada yang lain, tidak ada laki-laki
And but, the hand began to write
Dan tapi tangan itu mulai menulis
And Belshazzar couldn’t hide his fright
Dan Belsyazar tidak bisa menyembunyikan ketakutannya

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
Karena dia ditimbang dalam keseimbangan dan menemukan keinginan
His kingdom was divided, couldn’t stand
Kerajaannya terbagi, tidak bisa berdiri
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
Dia ditimbang dalam keseimbangan dan menemukan keinginan
His houses were built upon the sand
Rumah-rumahnya dibangun di atas pasir

Well no one around could understand
Yah tidak ada yang bisa mengerti
What was written by the mystic hand
Apa yang ditulis oleh tangan mistik
Belshazzar tried but couldn’t find
Belsyazar mencoba tapi tidak bisa menemukannya
A man who could give him piece of mind
Seorang pria yang bisa memberinya pikiran

But Daniel the prophet, the man of God
Tapi Daniel sang nabi, abdi Allah
He saw the writing on the wall in blood
Dia melihat tulisan di dinding dengan darah
Belshazzar asked him what it said
Belsyazar bertanya apa yang dikatakannya
And Daniel turned to the wall and read
Dan Daniel menoleh ke dinding dan membaca

“My friend your weighed in the balance and found wanting
“Temanku beratmu seimbang dan menemukan keinginan
Your kingdom was divided, it can’t stand
Kerajaan Anda terbagi, tidak dapat berdiri
Your weighed in the balance and found wanting
Anda ditimbang dalam keseimbangan dan menemukan keinginan
Your houses were built upon the sand”
Rumahmu dibangun di atas pasir “
