The text of the song of the Yangtze River

the song of the yangtze river

Hu Hongwei

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.
