My Motherland
我的祖国

This is a great river, waves on waves,
The wind spreads rice flower fragrance overboth banks.
There lives my family at the riverside,
I get used to hearing those boatmen'ssongs,
And get used to watching those white boat sails.
一条大河波浪宽，
风吹稻花香两岸，
我家就在岸上住，
听惯了艄公的号子，
看惯了船上的白帆。

This is my beautiful Motherland,
A place where I was born;
On this vast expanse of land,
Enchanting sceneries are here and there.
这是美丽的祖国，
是我生长的地方；
在这片辽阔的土地上，
到处都有明媚的风光。

The Lasses have flower-like faces,
And the Lads have ocean-like minds.
In order to open up a new world,
They awaken the sleeping mountains,
And have the rivers taken on new look.
姑娘好像花一样，
小伙儿心胸多宽广，
为了开辟新天地，
唤醒了沉睡的高山，
让那河流改变了模样。

This is my heroical Motherland,
A place where I grow up;
On this ancient land,
The power of youth is all around.
这是英雄的祖国，
是我生长的地方；
在这片古老的土地上，
到处都有青春的力量。

Beautiful mountains and waters make a delightful place,
And every road is so smooth and so wide.
When our friends come, there are good wine for them,
When our enemies come, there are shotguns for them.
好山好水好地方，
条条大路都宽敞，
朋友来了有好酒，
若是那豺狼来了，
迎接它的有猎枪。

This is my powerful Motherland,
A place where I live my life,
On this warm land,
Everywhere is the sunshine of peace.
这是强大的祖国，
是我生长的地方；
在这片温暖的土地上，
到处都有和平的阳光。
