00:00:49,962 --> 00:00:58,834
A great river flows,
its waves wide and calm

2
00:00:59,619 --> 00:01:08,141
Wind blows through rice flowers,
bearing fragrance to both shores

3
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:17,453
My family lives right there by the water

4
00:01:18,363 --> 00:01:22,653
I am used to hearing the punters' call

5
00:01:23,298 --> 00:01:33,861
And seeing the white sails on the boats

8
00:01:47,264 --> 00:01:55,746
On this expansive stretch of land

9
00:01:55,999 --> 00:02:03,761
Everywhere there is
wonderful scenery to behold

10
00:02:21,237 --> 00:02:29,268
How flower-like are the young ladies

11
00:02:29,835 --> 00:02:37,824
How big and determined
are the hearts of the young men

12
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:46,777
In order to usher in a new era

13
00:02:47,239 --> 00:02:51,315
They've woken the sleeping mountains

14
00:02:51,877 --> 00:03:01,925
And changed the face of the river

15
00:03:02,621 --> 00:03:08,638
This is the heroic Motherland

16
00:03:09,055 --> 00:03:14,288

On this stretch of ancient land

18

There is youthful vigor everywhere

19
00:03:49,281 --> 00:03:57,765

Every road is broad and wide

21
00:04:06,961 --> 00:04:15,231
If friends come, there is a fine wine

22
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,903
But if the wolves come

23
00:04:20,389 --> 00:04:30,676
Those who greet them have hunting guns

24
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:37,422
This is the mighty Motherland

25
00:04:37,801 --> 00:04:43,246
This is the place where I grew up

26
00:04:43,631 --> 00:04:51,548
On this stretch of warm and friendly land

27
00:04:52,505 --> 00:05:04,796
There is peaceful sunshine everywhere
