新世紀，新開端！
一個美好的新起點，
一個契機播種希望的種子
在每一個等待的心田。

一個嚮往和平融洽
和解協調的時刻，
一個帶着熱烈期望
殷切前瞻的時刻。

新開端，新千年，
一個光輝燦爛的明天，
一個掃除過去所有
懷疑和悲痛的時間。

每一面旗幟都招展
一個迎接未來的時刻，
讓我們並肩向前，
將更美好的世界建設！

Millennium

New century, new beginnings!
A wonderful new start,
A chance to plant a seed of hope
in every waiting heart.

A time for peace and harmony
And reconcillation,
A time of looking forward
with warm anticipation.

New beginnings, new millennium,
A shining bright tomorrow,
A time to sweep the past away,
with all its doubt and sorrow.

A time to meet the future
with every flag unfuried,
And so go forward, side by side,
To build a better world!
