Ode to the Motherland

China, my motherland,

The giant of the world east.

Do you have-

The majestic Great Wall and the Forbidden City,

The surging Yangtze River and Yellow River,

Mount Everest on the roof of the world,

The scenery of Guilin.

Do you have-

China's world-renowned culture,

Inspired four great inventions around the world,

The world-famous Silk Road,

Unique treasure of traditional Chinese medicine.

Do you have-

The coast of the East China Sea is choppy,

There are layers of forests in southern Xinjiang and islands.

The snow and ice in the north are boundless,

The pastoral voice of the grassland in the western regions.

Motherland, Motherland, I love you,

I want to sing a beautiful hymn for you,

I am willing to give you everything I have,

May you always stand in the east of the world!
