Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A 4th World by Xavier Rudd from German to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Here we are under these particular stars
Here we are among these particular stars
Here we stand Victorian
Here we stand Victorian
Where the white folk can grow to know so
Where the white folk can grow to know so
Very little about the black folk
Very little about the black folk
The same folk who rightfully own
The same people who rightfully own
This piece of beauty that we call our home
This piece of beauty that we call our home
Well negativity is often heard from society
Well negativity is often heard from society
With conviction they preach
With conviction they preach
Not even knowing of whom they speak
Not even knowing of whom they speak
I guess it's each to their own
I guess it's each to their own
Those that want to will know
Those who want to know
I guess it's each to their own
I guess it's each to their own
Because from the top the views are old and grey
Because from the top the views are old and gray
Well I feel so ashamed
Well I feel so ashamed
Of this system and these ways
Of this system and these ways
The tiny hearts that lead our nation
The tiny hearts that lead our nation
And tiny minds that let them in
And tiny minds that let them in
And I see your confusion
And I see your confusion
I see your pain
I see your pain
I see your pain and your confusion
I see your pain and your confusion
And there's still some with my skin
And there's still something with my skin
Who still try and hide the reason
Who still try and hide the reason
