Ah, friend!
The Yellow River, with its heroism, appeared in Yuan Ye, Asia;
It shows the spirit of our nation: great and powerful!
Here, we celebrate the Yellow River.
I stood on the top of a high mountain and watched the Yellow River roll eastward.
The surging waves set off a huge wave; Turbid flow turns around and forms a zigzag chain;
Run from the foot of Kunlun Mountain to the edge of the Yellow Sea, and split the Central Plains in two.
Ah! Yellow River! You are the cradle of the Chinese nation!
Five thousand years of ancient culture originated from you;
How many heroic stories are staged around you!
Ah! Yellow River!
You are great and strong, appearing on the plains of Asia like a giant.
Build a barrier for our nation with your heroic physique.
Ah! Yellow River!
You poured down, majestic, and stretched out thousands of iron arms to the north and south banks.
The great spirit of our nation will be cultivated and carried forward by you!
The heroic sons and daughters of our motherland will follow your example.
As great and strong as you! As great and strong as you!
