Hymn Lyrics Hymn Song Introduction

1. Lyrics:

From the grassland to Tiananmen Square

Lift up the golden cup and sing praises

Thank you to the great party

Bless the President for his long life

Heroic motherland stands in the east

Like the rising sun with all its radiance

Brothers from all nationalities gather together

To celebrate our turning over and liberation

The second draft (1984.8)

This is the second draft of the song. Celebrating Our Liberation

The Second Draft (1984.8)

From the Grassland to Tiananmen Square

Singing from the Golden Cup

Thanks to the Great Party

Celebrating Our Liberation

The Heroic Motherland Stands in the East

Raying Like the Rising Sun

Brotherhood of the Ethnic Groups Gather Together Brothers of all nationalities gather together

Praise for the rise and prosperity of China

2. The Song of Praise was composed by Hu Songhua in 1964, who was commissioned by Premier Zhou and the Grand Song and Dance Commanding Department of the Oriental Red and composed the lyrics and arrangement overnight. This "Hymn" is one of the works of the large-scale dance epic "The East is Red", and also one of Hu Songhua's masterpieces. Music is the original first half of the four "wordless new long tune" and the latter part of the "multiple short folk songs" between the new "marriage combination" of the singing.
