Lyrics


Simplified Chinese


铁流两万五千里,直向着一个坚定的方向,

苦斗十年,锻炼成一支不可战胜的力量。

一旦强虏寇边疆,慷慨悲歌上战场,

首战平型关,威名天下扬。

嘿!

游击战,敌后方,铲除伪政权,

游击战、敌后方,坚持反扫荡,

钢刀插在敌胸膛。

巍峨长白山,滔滔鸭绿江,誓复失地逐强梁。

争民族独立,求人类解放,

这神圣的重大责任,都担在我们双肩。

Traditional Chinese


鐵流兩萬五千裏,直向著一個堅定的方向,

苦鬥十年,鍛煉成一支不可戰勝的力量。

一旦強虜寇邊疆,慷慨悲歌上戰場,

首戰平型關,威名天下揚。

嘿!

遊擊戰,敵後方,鏟除偽政權,

遊擊戰、敵後方,堅持反掃蕩,

鋼刀插在敵胸膛。

巍峨長白山,滔滔鴨綠江,誓復失地逐強梁。

爭民族獨立,求人類解放,

這神聖的重大責任,都擔在我們雙肩。

English Translation


We march for the 25000 li, toward one direction.

We struggle for 10 years, become an unconquerable force.

When enemy invades boundary, we go to frontline with heroic but mournful tone.

Our fist battle is Ping Xingguan, our fame is known in all the world.

Hei!

We are guerilla in the base of enemy, eradicate the false government.

We are guerilla in the base of enemy, Insist anti-destroy.

We are knives in the chest of enemies.

Lofty Changbai Mountain, overflowing Yalv River, We vowed to get back the lost land and deprive enemies.

We should struggle the independent of peoples, and the liberation of whole world.

The holy and important duty, is undertaken by us.
