Your majestic ancient city?
War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's songs spread everywhere.
Yanan?
Your majestic ancient city?
Blood is running in your chest?
The hearts of thousands of young people,
Hatred against the enemy was buried.
There are long lines in the fields of Shan Ye?
Formed a solid front,
Look! The crowd raised their heads.

Oh, Yanan! Your majestic walls,
Build a solid front in the war of resistance. ?
Your name will be immortal.
