Hong Kong's New Anthem

Singing has become another creative way to protest against the government

Moderate protesters have found another way to gather and voice their demands to the government -- by singing.

People gather nightly in malls to sing Glory to Hong Kong

In the last few nights people, mostly in black, head to shopping malls in the city and sing Glory to Hong Kong, apparently written by a local composer.

They have sung this unofficial anthem in places like Amoy Plaza in Kowloon Bay, Plaza Hollywood in Diamond Hill, Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong, Moko in Mongkok and New Town Plaza in Sha Tin.

《願榮光歸香港》

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

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

New Town Plaza in Sha Tin this evening

Why are the tears flowing in this land again?

Why is something causing everyone to be angry?

Chin up. Don't be silent. The sound of shouts fills the air

Hoping for freedom to return to this place.

Why can't this fear be wiped away?

Why do the faithful never retreat?

Why does the blood flow but the advancing sounds fill the air?

Build freedom. Bring glory to Hong Kong

The night stars fall. Darkness fills the air

In the fog, the sound of horns billows from afar.

Defend freedom. Come gather in this place. Fight with all your strength.

Courage and wisdom will never be extinguished

Dawn has come. We must bring glory to this Hong Kong

The children that walk with us, for justice we have a revolution now

Pray for democracy and freedom everlasting

I wish for glory to return to Hong Kong.

CARRIE! Are you listening???
