Today is your birthday my China, early in the morning I released a flock of doves
Bringing you an olive leaf, the doves flew over the mountains
We wish you a birthday my China. China, may you never have any worries and peace
We wish you a happy birthday, my China, this is the song of hope in the hearts of your children
Today is your birthday, my China, in the early morning, I release a flock of doves
To bring back to you the thoughts of your children from afar, the doves flew across the vast sea and sky
We wish you a happy birthday, my China, may the moon be full and the children happy forever. The children will always be happy
We wish you a happy birthday, my China, this is the children's love from afar
Today is your birthday, my China, early in the morning, I released a flock of doves
