Lyrics:
I am infatuated with your amorous feelings, I embrace your mountains and rivers
I am intoxicated with your waves, and I love your Gold Coast
I am proud. My motherland
You are a ship carrying the eternal civilization, and 56 nationalities are your crew.
Motherland, my motherland
You have raised the sail of national rejuvenation and opened up the route of a great era.
I am infatuated with your amorous feelings, and I embrace your mountains and rivers.
I am intoxicated with your waves, and I love your golden coast.
I am proud of your development. I stand up for your oriental dignity
Motherland, my motherland
You are a ship carrying the eternal civilization, and 56 nationalities are your crew
Motherland, my motherland
You have raised the sail of national rejuvenation and opened up the route of a great era
