"Chinese Military Spirit"
Lyrics: Li Haiying
Composer: Li Haiying
Singer: Beijing Boys Chamber Chorus
If the motherland is invaded,
A passionate man should strengthen himself.
Drink up this bowl of hometown wine,
The strong man will never return.
The rolling Yellow River and the surging Yangtze River,
Give me life and give me strength.
Let the blood dye the most beautiful flowers red,
sprinkle it on my chest.
The red flag flutters, the bugle sounds,
the sword is unsheathed, the thunder and lightning flash,
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
Forward, forward,
Forward, forward,
The red flag is fluttering, the bugle is sounding,
The sword is gone Unsheathed, thunder and lightning flash,
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.
Forward, forward,
Forward, forward,
Forward,
China’s military spirit!
