大河向东流哇
The great river flows eastward, oh
天上的星星参北斗哇
The stars in the sky point to the Big Dipper, oh

(Hey hey, pointing to the Big Dipper, a toast of friendship with a cup of wine, oh)
说走咱就走哇
If you say go, then we go, oh
你有我有全都有哇
You have, I have, we all have, oh
(嘿嘿 全都有哇 水里火里不回头哇)
(Hey hey, we all have, oh, through water and fire, no turning back, oh)
路见不平一声吼哇
When justice calls, shout it out, oh
该出手时就出手哇
When it's time to act, we take action, oh
风风火火闯九州哇
With passion and fire, we brave the land of nine provinces, oh
