  1. 遥远的东方有一条江

    In the distant east, there flows a river,

  2. 它的名字就叫长江

    Its name is the Yangtze River.

  3. 遥远的东方有一条河

    In the distant east, there flows a stream,

  4. 它的名字就叫黄河

    Its name is the Yellow River.

  5. 古老的东方有一条龙

    In the ancient east, there lies a dragon,

  6. 它的名字就叫中国

    Its name is China.

  7. 古老的东方有一群人

    In the ancient east, there stands a group of people,

  8. 他们全都是龙的传人

    They are all descendants of the dragon.

  1. 巨龙脚底下我成长

    Growing up beneath the giant dragon,

  2. 长成以后是龙的传人

    And when I'm grown, I'm a descendant of the dragon.

  3. 黑眼睛 黑头发 黄皮肤

    Black eyes, black hair, yellow skin,

  4. 永永远远是龙的传人

    Forever and ever, the descendants of the dragon.

  5. 遥远的东方有一条江

    In the distant East, there flows a river,

  6. 它的名字就叫长江

    Its name is the Yangtze.

  7. 遥远的东方有一条河

    In the distant East, there flows a river,

  8. 它的名字就叫黄河

    Its name is the Yellow River.

  9. 它的名字就叫黄河

    Its name is the Yellow River.

  10. 虽不曾看见长江美

    Though I've never seen the beauty of the Yangtze,

  11. 梦里常神游长江水

    In my dreams, I often wander the waters of the Yangtze.

  12. 虽不曾听见黄河壮

    Though I've never heard the grandeur of the Yellow River,

  13. 澎湃汹涌在梦里

    Surging and roaring in dreams,

  14. 古老的东方有一条龙

    In the ancient East there lies a dragon,

  15. 它的名字就叫中国

    Its name is China,

  16. 古老的东方有一群人

    In the ancient East, a group of people,

  17. 他们全都是龙的传人

    They are all descendants of the dragon,

  18. 他们全都是龙的传人

    They are all descendants of the dragon,

  19. 他们全都是

    They are all,

  20. Now here's a story that will make you cry

  21. Straight from Taiwan they came

  22. Just a girl and a homeboy in love

  23. No money, no job, no speak, no English

  24. Nobody gonna give 'em the time of day in a city so cold

  25. They made a wish, and then they had the strength to graduate with honors

  26. And borrowed 50 just to custom-made

  27. A marriage under God who never left their side

  28. Gave their children pride

  29. Raise your voices high, love will never die and never

  30. 多年前宁静的一个夜

    Many years ago on a tranquil night

  31. 我们全家人到了纽约

    Our whole family arrived in New York

  32. 野火呀烧不尽在心间

    Wildfire can't be extinguished in the heart

  33. 每夜每天对家思念

    Every night and day, I miss my home

  34. 每夜每天对家思念

    Every night and day, I miss my home

  35. 别人士地上我成长

    In a foreign land, I grew up

  36. 长成以后是龙的传人

    And now, I've become a descendant of dragons

  37. 巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼

    Great dragon, great dragon, open your eyes wide

  38. 永永远远的擦亮眼

    Forever and ever, keep your eyes wide open

  39. 巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼

    Great dragon, great dragon, open your eyes wide

  40. 永永远远的擦亮眼

    Forever and ever, keep your eyes wide open

  41. 巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼

    Great dragon, great dragon, open your eyes wide

  42. 永永远远的擦亮眼

    Forever and ever, keep your eyes wide open

  43. 巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼

    Dragon, dragon, open your eyes wide

  44. 永永远远的擦亮眼

    Forever and ever, keep them bright

  45. 巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼

    Dragon, dragon, open your eyes wide

  46. 永永远远的擦亮眼

    Forever and ever, keep them bright

  47. 巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼

    Dragon, dragon, open your eyes wide

  48. 永永远远的擦亮眼

    Forever and ever, keep them bright

  49. 巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼

    Dragon, dragon, open your eyes wide

  50. 永永远远的擦亮眼
