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。
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，

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.
