You are in pain all the way around the world.

痛得无法忍受
How long is the journey?

船开多久
Three weeks, if the weather is good.

天气好也要三周
For amusement, they sometimes hang the women from these,

他们有时为了寻乐把女人倒吊
by the ankles, to rape them.

再强暴她们
In stormy weather, they take the very sickest

遇上暴风雨就抓出生病的人
and throw them into the sea to lighten the ship's load.

丢到海里减轻船的重量
How did you survive?

你怎么活下来的
Your life is a thread. It breaks or it doesn't break.

生死一线间线没断就活下来
Before I travelled in a ship like this,

上船之前我是王子
I was a prince, in many ways not unlike you.

很多地方都和你们一样
It was a beautiful day like no other, the last day I saw my home in Africa.

我记得离开非洲的那天好美
