[Verse 1]
ステュアート朝の王様たち
王権神授説を振りかざし
議会を無視して勝手な政治
国民たちの不満が高まる
[Pre-Chorus]
特にピューリタン（清教徒）たちは怒った
クロムウェル率いる議会派が
王軍を打ち破り
チャールズ1世を処刑した
[Chorus]
清教徒革命で共和政
でもクロムウェルの独裁に
民衆はウンザりして
王政復古を望んだ
[Verse 2]
復活した王様ジェームズ2世
またもや議会を無視し始める
カトリック復活の動きに
議会は最後の切り札を出す
[Pre-Chorus]
オランダから娘のメアリと
旦那のウィレムを呼び寄せた
ジェームズ2世は戦わず逃げ出し
血を流さずに革命は成功
[Chorus]
これが名誉革命
「権利の章典」を認めさせ
議会主権の立憲君主制が
世界で初めて確立した
[Bridge]
「王は君臨すれども統治せず」
イギリス独自の政治スタイル
内閣責任制も育っていき
近代民主主義の基礎ができた
[Outro]
二度の革命が
イギリスを変えた
次は大西洋の向こう
アメリカ独立の
