Pejuang kemerdekaan berdiri di atas gunung
In a foreign country
Di negara asing
Trying to send a message
Mencoba mengirim pesan
To his people, back in the ghetto
Kepada bangsanya, kembali ke ghetto
He had a home one time
Dia pernah punya rumah satu kali
Love of a girl
Cinta seorang gadis
But he left that behind
Tapi dia meninggalkannya
Oh yes I can hear him clearly
Oh iya saya bisa mendengarnya dengan jelas
as he whispers in the air
saat dia berbisik di udara
His voice came out loud and clear
Suaranya terdengar nyaring dan jernih
All he asked for was a prayer
Yang dia minta hanyalah sebuah doa
and as he turns to walk away he said
dan saat dia berbalik untuk pergi, dia berkata
Chorus:
Paduan suara:
I’m still here in the house of exile
Aku masih di sini di rumah pengasingan
For the love of the nation.
Demi cinta bangsa.
Sun went down on the mountain
Sun turun ke gunung
Birds flew back to their hiding places
Burung terbang kembali ke tempat persembunyian mereka
Leaving him standing there like a telephone pole
Meninggalkannya berdiri di sana seperti tiang telepon
In the still of the night
Di tengah malam
You and I dream
Kamu dan aku bermimpi
Dreaming of Romeo & Juliet
Bermimpi dari Romeo & Juliet
All he dreams about is the freedom of the nation
Yang dia impikan hanyalah kebebasan bangsa
When every man will be equal
Bila setiap orang akan setara
In the eyes of the law
Di mata hukum
As he closes his eyes
Saat dia menutup matanya
For the last time he said again
Untuk terakhir kalinya dia berkata lagi
Chorus:
Paduan suara:
I’m still here in the house of exile
Aku masih di sini di rumah pengasingan
For the love of the nation.
Demi cinta bangsa.
