The heroic spirit of the Yellow River07:06dominates the plains of Asia07:09representing the vigor of our nation07:13mighty and strong!07:18Here, facing the Yellow River07:22we sing our song of

course09:09down from the Kunlun mountain09:15rushing toward the Yellow Sea.09:20dividing the central plains of China09:25into southern and northern parts.09:51Ah, Yellow River!09:56You are the cradle of the Chinese people!10:00You have nurtured five thousand years of ancient culture10:07many heroic tales have taken place on your shores!10:17Ah, Yellow River!10:22You are mighty and strong10:25like a giant you appear on the plains of Asia10:33using your heroic physique10:35to build our people’s defense.10:43Ah, Yellow River!10:50You rush along to the horizon10:54majestic, extending your arms like countless strips of iron11:02towards both northern and southern shores.11:07Our people’s mighty spirit11:11will flourish under your nurture!11:19From your example, our homeland’s heroic sons and daughters will learn11:28to become just as mighty and strong as you!12:40Yellow River!12:43We want to learn to become as mighty and strong as you!12:53Here, before you, we offer a poem13:00confiding in you the catastrophes suffered by our people.13:20Yellow River’s water, descended from heaven13:24sweeping, surging forward; the cries of the hissing river shatter our courage!13:36The river is China’s major artery, rapidly circulating the people’s lifeblood throughout the land.13:44The red sun shines high, its golden rays burst open from the surface of the water.13:50The moon rises over the mountains east, its silver beams on the river glimmer like snow.14:01The river shakes, and leaps14:04like a flying dragon14:06traversing ten thousand miles each day, emptying into the vast eastern sea.14:11From Hukou to Longmen, strange battle formations are displayed in the sky.14:16People do not dare lean close to the riverside14:19even a poisonous dragon14:20does not dare dwell on the river bottom.14:24From ten miles away14:26see the thick plumes of smoke rising upwards14:29as from a large blazing fire, blanketing the entire sky.14:31This cauldron brings our lifeblood to a rolling boil.14:35In fact, when the cold air closes in14:37your whole body trembles.14:40The river groans and quakes14:43emitting the power of a billion horses, shaking the earth’s crust14:48and dispersing the dark clouds in the sky.14:56Ah, Yellow River!14:59The king of rivers!15:02When enraged, it is a mad wild beast15:05worse than ten million poisonous pythons.15:10making waves, stirring up storms and wrecking the people’s embankment.15:15Therefore, on both shores of the Yellow River terrible calamities took place:15:20The river devoured people on both shores15:23it leveled over hundreds of miles of villages15:26causing tens of thousands of fellow countrymen to be exiled into an unfamiliar land.15:32Old and young struggling on the brink of starvation, hanging on the verge of death.15:43Today, people on the two shores15:46once again suffer unprecedented calamities.15:49Pirates from the East are letting out murderous fumes of death on Asia’s level plains.15:55starvation and death are like the cachectic fever16:00spreading infection on the shores of the Yellow River.16:04Ah, Yellow River!16:07you nurture our people’s growth:16:10you have seen with your own eyes16:12the calamities that this ancient nation has suffered for five thousand years!16:17Since ancient times numerous bloody battles have unfolded on the shores of the Yellow River.16:23Piles of white bones fill your body16:27and your surface is stained dark red with blood!16:30Yet, you have never seen ruthlessness like that unleashed today16:36nor have you seen the Yellow Emperor’s sons and grandsons16:39mobilizing the entire country as they do today.16:47On the shores of the Yellow River16:49scores of guerilla fighters and field units16:51are scattered like stars, spread out like chess pieces behind the enemy16:59from within the green muslin tents, valiant battles are launched amid the cluster of ten thousand mountains!17:07Ah, Yellow River!17:09You record our people’s history through the dynasties.17:13From ancient to present many heroes rose along your banks!17:21However, never before have you seen four hundred million fellow countrymen united like steel and iron.17:31Hundreds of thousands of heroes spill their blood to defend the country of their forefathers.17:38The brave and honorable tales of these heroes are your raging waves, strong, intense, and awesome!17:46Ah, Yellow River!17:48Have you ever heard victory’s triumphant songs sung on your shores?17:56Have you ever seen the iron army of our home country ambush the enemy18:02spread out like a net that covers both earth and sky?18:05They guard your shores, preventing the enemy from crossing over!18:11Their goal is to bury the ferocious enemy beneath your billowing waves!18:19Ah, Yellow River!18:22You rush and roar18:26angrily ridding the fascists’ evil demons18:28singing their burial song!18:32Your deafening roar travels across our homeland’s plains.18:38A triumphant song to honor our people’s great victory!18:45Roar out loud, across our homeland’s plains18:47the triumphant song to honor our people’s great victory!19:23We are sons and daughters of the Yellow River19:27who arduously strive toward victory with each passing day!19:34But each day that the enemy is not destroyed is one more day that we cannot rest.19:42If you doubt this then listen to the painful groans of the multitudes of people on the river to the east.20:13Yellow water, rushing eastward20:21flowing for ten thousand miles.20:28Swift waters, high waves20:36racing rapids sound like the cries of tigers and wolves.20:48Open canals and build embankments20:56for to the east lies level soil21:04fertile for sprouting wheat and fragrant soy flowers.21:16Men and women, young and old, live in happy prosperity.21:38But since the enemy came, these common people have suffered great calamities!21:53Treachery, wickedness, burning, and murder create a desert of desolation.22:08People escorting the elderly and carrying the young disperse in all directions to flee death.22:23Losing fathers and mothers, they are unable to return to their home villages!22:49Yellow waters rush along day and night23:01as families are torn apart!24:07Families torn apart, wives and husbands, children and parents!24:13Will we forever be refugees?24:18Listen, as two villagers dialogue on the Yellow River’s bank.24:29Zhang thirdborn, let me ask you24:31Where is your hometown?24:38My home is in Shaanxi24:40three hundred miles from the river.24:46Let me ask you, in your hometown24:49did you farm the land
