The Yellow River/with its/heroic spirit,
Appear in Yuanye/Asia;
It/shows/expresses the spirit of our nation;
Great/strong!
Here, we/towards the Yellow River,
Sing/our hymn.
I stood on the top of the mountain,
Look/The Yellow River is rolling southeast.
Surge/surge, set off/ten thousand people's tide;
Turbulent flow/U-turn, forming a zigzag chain;
From Kunlun Mountain to the coast of the Yellow Sea,
Split the Central Plains in two.
Ah! Yellow River!
You are the cradle of our nation!
Five thousand years/ancient culture, from you/origin;
How many/heroic stories are around you/play!
Ah! Yellow River!
You are/great and strong,
Like a giant/appearing on the plains of Asia,
Build a barrier for our nation with your heroic physique.
Ah! Yellow River!
You/a thousand feet, mighty,
Extend thousands of iron arms to the north and south banks.
The great spirit of our nation,
Will be cultivated/developed by you!
Heroes and sons of our country,
Study/your role model,
As great/strong as you!
As great/strong as you!
