秦时明月汉时关
翻过重岭又一山
流不尽的英雄血
塞北边疆抵外番
龙抬头闪耀东方
头顶星辰闪金光
虎长啸威震三江
保家国固若金汤
汹涌澎湃踏风而来
铮铮铁骨显我中华血脉
时不我待时不我待
手揽一樽山海盖世气派
先辈们赋予的勇气
勇气
靠自己双手的努力
努力
无所谓变换的风云
风云
脚底下浩瀚的土地
万里长城永不倒
千里黄河水滔滔
江山秀丽叠彩峰岭
问我国家哪像染病
万里长城永不倒
千里黄河水滔滔
江山秀丽叠彩峰岭
问我国家哪像染病

万里长城
长城万里
万里长城
长城万里
万里长城
长城万里
万里长城
长城万里
有千重山遇万重浪
日出东方看我心之所向
流血和汗放肆我狂
星耀故园照我五千汉唐
炎黄忠烈魂我站得稳
敬在我头上三尺有神
心存到善念行得也正
屹立在天地间大写的人
时光如水岁月如梭
功名利禄留给后人诉说
遥望故乡言语不多
浩然正气谱写流芳赞歌
锦绣河山
锦绣河山
滔滔河川
滔滔河川
天下太平
天下太平
国泰民安
国泰民安

万里长城永不倒
千里黄河水滔滔
江山秀丽叠彩峰岭
问我国家哪像染病
万里长城永不倒
千里黄河水滔滔
江山秀丽叠彩峰岭
问我国家哪像染病
万里长城

English Version:(2)

The moonlit fort of Qin-Han empire
And the forbidding frontier mountains
Have witnessed the heroic blood
Spilled in defense of our civilization
The dragon rears its head in the east
Beneath the brilliant heavenly vault
The tiger roars across the mighty streams
To secure our inviolable borderland
Riding the blasts of valiant wind
We carry the indomitable spirit of China
Time and tide wait for no man
Our presence commands the world's respect
With the courage from our forbears
Courage
With the endeavors of our own hands
Endeavors
We brush aside life's vicissitude
Vicissitude
And plant our feet on the vast land
In the shadow of the Great Wall
The Yellow River rolls eastward
Such a land of beauty and grandeur
Defies the infection of any blight
In the shadow of the Great Wall
The Yellow River rolls eastward
Such a land of beauty and grandeur
Defies the infection of any blight

The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
Across the mountains and rivers
We stride toward where the sun rises
Our blood, sweat, and unruly vigor
Has nurtured the homeland for millennia
A proud and righteous ancient nation
We revere the Heaven's sacred creation
With virtue, integrity and compassion
We stand as humanity writ large
Time fleets past like rushing water
Leaving our unfading memory to posterity
Gazing at homeland in silence
We live out a life of merit and probity
A land of beauty
A land of beauty
A mighty stream
A mighty stream
Peace under heaven
Peace under heaven
People enjoys prosperity
People enjoys prosperity

In the shadow of the Great Wall
The Yellow River rolls eastward
Such a land of beauty and grandeur
Defies the infection of any blight
In the shadow of the Great Wall
The Yellow River rolls eastward
Such a land of beauty and grandeur
Defies the infection of any blight
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall
The Great Wall

Note:

1. Literally “The Great Wall” is the correct translation of both “万里长城” and “长城万里”. But in Chinese these two phrases are slightly different in their meanings, and when used together, create a different rhythmic effect.
