Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going,let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.

新年的鐘聲
響吧,狂暴的鐘,向著狂野的天空;
向著亂雲,向著寒光。
這壹年即將在今夜逝去,
響吧,狂暴的鐘,讓他消亡。
鐘聲送舊,鐘聲迎新,
響吧,幸福的鐘,響徹皚皚白雪。
這壹年即將離去,讓他去吧。
鐘聲送偽,鐘聲迎真。
鐘聲送走揪心的痛苦,
為了我們不能再見的人,
鐘聲送走貧富間的宿怨,
鐘聲迎來全人類的祥和。
