Give him no hope, give him no trial
Jangan beri dia harapan, jangan beri dia pengadilan
Put him in chains, break that smile
Letakkan dia di rantai, istirahat senyum itu
Pull that barge, tote that bale
Tarik tongkang itu, jinjit itu bale
Listen to him singin', hear him wail
Dengarkan dia bernyanyi ‘, dengarkan dia meratap

You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
Anda tidak akan melakukannya ke whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
Anda tidak akan melakukannya ke whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
Anda tidak akan melakukannya ke whiteboy

Give him no peace, give him no rest
Jangan beri dia ketenangan, jangan beri dia istirahat
Teach him to believe your god is the best
Ajarkan dia untuk percaya tuhan Anda adalah yang terbaik
Sail him away, to the promised land
Berlayar dia pergi, ke tanah yang dijanjikan
Send him on down into his masters hand
Kirimkan dia ke tangan tuannya
Take his woman, take his child
Bawa wanita itu, bawa anaknya
Take him on down to the murder mile
Bawa dia ke tempat pembunuhan
Pull that barge, tote that bale
Tarik tongkang itu, jinjit itu bale
What's that song you hear him wail
Lagu apa yang kamu dengar dia meratap

Now you wonder why he's an angry man
Sekarang Anda bertanya-tanya mengapa dia orang yang marah
Why there's fire in your father's land
Mengapa ada kebakaran di tanah ayahmu?
And wonder now what tomorrow will bring
Dan heran sekarang apa besok akan membawa
Will you hear him screamin', will you hear him sing.
Maukah kamu mendengarnya berceceran ‘, maukah kamu mendengarnya bernyanyi?
