<My Motherland> Lyrics English National Day cctv9 version

My Motherland

A great river, waves on waves,

The wind spreads the fragrance of rice on both sides,

My family lives on the bank,

Listening to the boatman's trumpet,

Looking at the white sails on the boat.

This is a great river, waves on waves,

The wind spreads rice flower fragrance over both banks.

There lives my family at the riverside,

I get used to hearing those boatmen's songs,

And get used to watching those white boat sails.

This is the beautiful motherland,

the place where I grew up. ;

In this vast land,

There are bright landscapes everywhere.

This is my beautiful Motherland,

A place where I was born;

On this vast expanse of land,

Enchanting sceneries are here and

The girl is like a flower,

The boy is so broad-minded,

To open up new horizons,

Waking up the sleeping mountains,

Making that river change its shape.

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 take on new look.

This is the homeland of heroes,

This is where I grew up;

On this ancient land,

There is youthful strength everywhere.

This is my heroic Motherland,

A place where I grow up;

On this ancient land,

The power of youth is all around.

Good mountains and good water.

Good place,

All roads are spacious,

Friends come with good wine,

If that jackal comes,

it is greeted with a shotgun.

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.

This is the mighty motherland,

the place where I grew up;

In this warm land,

there is the sunshine of peace everywhere.

This is my powerful Motherland,

A place where I live my life,

On this warm land,

Everywhere is the sunshine of peace.
