Singing the Motherland
Lyrics: Wang Xin
Composition: Wang Xin
Music style: march
The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the victory song is so loud;
Singing of our beloved motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength.
Singing of our dear motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength.
Over the mountains, over the plains, across the rushing Yellow River and Yangtze River;
The wide and beautiful land is our dear hometown,
The heroic people have stood up! We are strong as steel in unity and love.
The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the victory song is so loud;
Singing of our beloved motherland, which is going to be prosperous and strong from now on.
Singing of our dear motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength.
We are industrious, we are brave, and our 5,000-year history is glorious;
We overcame all the sufferings to get today's liberation!
We love peace, we love our hometown, and whoever dares to violate us will be called to perish!
The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the victory song is so loud;
Singing of our dear motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength.
Singing of our dear motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength.
The sun rises, ten thousand lights, the people*** and the country are growing;
Our leader Mao Zedong, points the way forward.
Our life is going up every day, our future is shining with ten thousand lights.
The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the victory song is so loud;
Sing of our dear motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength.
Singing of our dear motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength.
