Lyrics: Before it happened.
Composer: Xian Xinghai
Yellow river
We should learn from you,
As great and strong as you.
Here, we want to present a long poem to you.
Cry for the disaster in our country
How does the Yellow River water flow out of heaven?
The avalanche, surging and roaring, makes people's liver and gallbladder rupture!
It is the main artery of China, and it is full of national blood.
The red sun shines high and the water is golden. The moon rises in Dongshan, and the river is as silver as snow.
It vibrates and jumps.
Like a dragon, it travels thousands of miles every day and pours into the vast East China Sea.
Tiger's mouth and Longmen are arranged in a strange array in the sky;
People are afraid to go near it,
Even dragons dare not hide underwater.
Ten miles away, watching the smoke rising from it,
Like a fire burning all over the sky, it makes your blood boil;
In fact, when the chill comes, you will feel cold all over.
It groaned and oscillated, giving out100000 horsepower,
It shook the earth's crust and dispersed the dark clouds in the sky.
Ah, the Yellow River! King of the river! It's a crazy beast,
Anger is better than thousands of poisonous pythons,
It will make waves and break through the dikes of the world;
So on both sides of the Yellow River, a terrible disaster happened:
It swallowed people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and leveled villages hundreds of miles away.
Make millions of compatriots live in exile,
Struggling on the hunger line, dying line!
Now people on both sides of the strait have suffered unprecedented disasters:
The pirates of the East, in Yuanye and Asia, are spreading the poisonous flames of killing;
So hunger and death, like kala-azar, spread on both sides of the Yellow River!
Ah, the Yellow River! You have promoted the development of our country;
You have seen with your own eyes how many disasters this ancient country has suffered in the past five thousand years!
Since ancient times, there have been countless bloody battles along the Yellow River.
Let base bones fill your river,
Talk, blood your river!
But you have never seen the enemy so cruel as it is today;
I have never seen the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.
Start national mobilization as it is today.
On both sides of the Yellow River, guerrillas and field troops,
Scattered behind the enemy;
In the deep mountains, in the green tulle tent, a heroic bloody battle was launched!
Ah, the Yellow River! You recorded the age of our country,
How many heroes have emerged around you through the ages!
However, you have never met 40 million compatriots.
United as steel as it is today;
Millions of national heroes shed their blood to defend the motherland;
The hero's story is as heroic as the surging waves of the Yellow River and the mountains!
Ah, the Yellow River! Have you heard of it?
Victory resounds around you?
Have you ever seen the iron army of the motherland set tight encirclement behind the enemy?
They guard the banks of the Yellow River to prevent the enemy from crossing the river!
They want to bury their crazy enemies in the rolling Yellow River!
Ah, the Yellow River! You run and shout,
Singing a hymn of destruction for fascist demons!
You're yelling and screaming, and you're walking towards the night,
This is a response to the victory of our great country!
