新世纪，新开端！
一个美好的新起点，
一个契机播种希望的种子
在每一个等待的心田。

一个向往和平融洽
和解协调的时刻，
一个带着热烈期望
殷切前瞻的时刻。

新开端，新千年，
一个光辉灿烂的明天，
一个扫除过去所有
怀疑和悲痛的时间。

每一面旗帜都招展
一个迎接未来的时刻，
让我们并肩向前，
将更美好的世界建设！

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!
