Description: Whilst the anthem appears to have been written only as recently as 2019, the authors seem to indicate by their use of pseudonyms that they wish the anthem to be considered as public property. The name of the lyricist is of particular note here. 't' may be intended to be understood as 'traditional'. Zhonglian Dengzi (眾連登仟) may be translated as 'Thousands of people' or 'All of the people were on it'.

Original text and translations

Chinese text 何以　這土地　淚再流 何以　令眾人　亦憤恨 昂首　拒默沉　吶喊聲　響透 盼自由　歸於　這裡 何以　這恐懼　抹不走 何以　為信念　從沒退後 何解　血在流　但邁進聲　響透 建自由　光輝　香港8 在晚星　墜落　徬徨午夜 迷霧裡　最遠處吹來　號角聲 捍自由　來齊集這裡　來全力抗對 勇氣　智慧　也永不滅 黎明來到　要光復　這香港 同行兒女　為正義　時代革命 祈求　民主與自由　萬世都不朽 我願榮光歸香港

English text We pledge: No more tears on our land In wrath, doubts dispell'd we make our stand Arise! Ye who would not be slaves again For Hong Kong, may freedom reign Though deep is the dread that lies a-head Yet still with our faith on we tread Let blood rage afield! Our voice grows evermore For Hong Kong, may glory reign Stars may fade as darkness fills the air Through the mist a solitary trumpet flares Now, to arms! For freedom we fight with all might we strike With valour, wisdom both, we stride Break now the dawn, liberate our Hong Kong In common breath: Revolution of our times May people reign, proud and free, now and evermore Glory be to thee Hong Kong.
