Oppression has never, anywhere,

succeeded in suppressing the eternal

desire of people to live as free men –

free to think their own thoughts, free to

act as they consider best for the

common welfare and live as human

beings – not as robots or slaves. Even

of the Chinese leave nothing but ashes

in our sacred land, Tibet will rise from

these ashes as a free country even if it

takes a long time to do so. No

imperialist power has succeeded in

keeping other people in colonial

subjection for long.

在任何地方, 壓迫的手段

從來都不能成功的壓抑人民

做為一個自由人的永恆渴望,

– 能有自己的想法,

能自己決定如何為基本的福祉採取行動,

活的像人 –

不是機器也不是奴隸.

即便中國政府在我們的聖地上,

只留下了灰燼, 但無論將花多少時間,

西藏會從灰燼中重生,

成為一塊自由的土地.

因為沒有任何帝國主義的征服者

能長久的讓人民屈服在殖民地的政策中.
