Lyrics

Simplified Chinese

青海的草原，一眼看不完，

喜马拉雅山，峰峰相连到天边，

古圣和先贤，在这里建家园，

风吹雨打中耸立五千年，

中华民国，中华民国，

经得起考验，

只要黄河长江的水不断，

中华民国，中华民国，

千秋万世，直到永远。

（重复一遍)

Traditional Chinese

青海的草原，一眼看不完，

喜馬拉雅山，峰峰相連到天邊，

古聖和先賢，在這裏建家園，

風吹雨打中聳立五千年，

中華民國，中華民國，

經得起考驗，

只要黃河長江的水不斷，

中華民國，中華民國，

千秋萬世，直到永遠。

（重復一遍)

English Translation

Qinghai's grasslands are vast, the eye cannot see their end

The Himalaya's, peaks link unto the horizon

Old gods and ancestors, here laid their home and hearth

The wind blows and storm rains fall, yet still after five thousand years

Republic of China, Republic of China (¹)

Overcomes any struggle,

Only the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers' waters flow undiminished

Republic of China, Republic of China (¹)

Forever and ever, will always be

(repeat once)

Note:

• 1. When this song sung in Mainland China, this line is replaced with "Chinese Peoples, Chinese Peoples"
