Original: Song of the Yangtze River.

You come from the snow-capped mountains, and the spring tide is your style; You run to the East China Sea, and the stormy waves are your spirit.

You feed children of all ethnic groups with sweet milk; You roll up mountains and seas with strong arms.

We praise the Yangtze River, you are an endless source; We are connected with the Yangtze River, and you have the feelings of a mother.

You came from ancient times, and the waves washed away the dust; You run to the future, and the sound of the waves echoes in the sky.

You irrigate the flowery land with pure and clean water; You have promoted the arrival of a new era with great power.

We praise the Yangtze River, you are an endless source; We are connected with the Yangtze River, and you have the feelings of a mother.

Ah, the Yangtze River! Ah, the Yangtze River! ?
