Lyrics of the song "I love Wuzhishan, I love Wanquan River"
I love Wuzhishan and I love Wanquan River
Take the Red Army's steel gun with both hands
Defending the Motherland on Hainan Island
Ah Wuzhi Mountain, Ah Wanquan River
How many stories of the Red Army have you told about the Red Army?
You sing about the Red Army day and night hymn
I love the red cotton tree in Wuzhishan
The Red Army once lit a bonfire under the tree
I love the red rock in Wuzhishan
The Red Army once sharpened its knife on the stone
I love the road the Red Army walked
I followed the mountain road to post
I love the clear spring water of Wanquan River
The Red Army used river water to cook wild fruits
I love the thousands of waves of Wanquan River
The Red Army drove the enemy down the river here
< p>The water of the Wanquan River flows to the seaI patrol along the river
Ah Wuzhishan, ah Wanquan River
We protect the red rivers and mountains
The Red Army’s steel gun will always be in hand
