Any of you.

不了解你们的任何一员
You're familiar to me, as all people are.

但你们于我与其他人民一样
Unaccommodated, poor, bare,

与我们大家都一样
forked creatures such as we all are.

居无定所食不果腹贫穷却又勤劳
You have a right to expect what I expect,

你们有权利期待我所期待的一切
and likely our expectations are not incomprehensible to each other.

我们也应能理解彼此的期盼
I assume I'll get used to you.

我知道我能习惯你们
But what you are to the nation,

但是你们对于这个国家意味着什么
what'll become of you once slavery's day is done, I don't know.

你们被解放后的未来我并不知道会怎样
What my people are to be, I can't say.

我不知道我的同胞是怎么想的
Negroes have been fighting and dying for freedom

自第一个黑奴出现之日起
since the first of us was a slave.

黑人们便从未停止为自由而斗争牺牲
