I Love the Five-Finger Mountains, I Love the Wanquan River

Lyrics by Liu Chang'an ; Music by Zheng Nan
(''English translation by user Roland Longbow'')

I love the Five-Finger Mountains,

I love the Wanquan River,

Holding the steel gun passed down to me

from the Red Army,

I defend the motherland on the Hainan Island.

Ah, the Five-Finger Mountains,

Ah, the Wanquan River,

You bespeak countless stories of the Red Army,

You sing odes to the Red Army day and night.

I love the kapok trees in the Five-Finger Mountains,

Under which the Red Army soldiers used to set up bonfires;

I love the red rocks in the Five-Finger Mountains,

On which the Red Army soldiers used to whet their bayonets;

I love the paths treaded by the Red Army soldiers,

Along which I go to my sentry post.

I love the clear water in the Wanquan River,

Which the Red Army soldiers used to boil wild fruits;

I love the successive waves in the Wanquan River,

And it was here that the Red Army

chased the enemies into the river.

The Wanquan River flows toward the sea,

I go on patrol along the river.

Ah, the Five-Finger Mountains,

Ah, the Wanquan River,

The red land we defend,

Holding forever the steel gun from the Red Army.
