遥远的东方有一条江
In the distant east, there flows a river,
它的名字就叫长江
Its name is the Yangtze River.
遥远的东方有一条河
In the distant east, there flows a stream,
它的名字就叫黄河
Its name is the Yellow River.
古老的东方有一条龙
In the ancient east, there lies a dragon,
它的名字就叫中国
Its name is China.
古老的东方有一群人
In the ancient east, there stands a group of people,
他们全都是龙的传人
They are all descendants of the dragon.
巨龙脚底下我成长
Growing up beneath the giant dragon,
长成以后是龙的传人
And when I'm grown, I'm a descendant of the dragon.
黑眼睛 黑头发 黄皮肤
Black eyes, black hair, yellow skin,
永永远远是龙的传人
Forever and ever, the descendants of the dragon.
遥远的东方有一条江
In the distant East, there flows a river,
它的名字就叫长江
Its name is the Yangtze.
遥远的东方有一条河
In the distant East, there flows a river,
它的名字就叫黄河
Its name is the Yellow River.
它的名字就叫黄河
Its name is the Yellow River.
虽不曾看见长江美
Though I've never seen the beauty of the Yangtze,
梦里常神游长江水
In my dreams, I often wander the waters of the Yangtze.
虽不曾听见黄河壮
Though I've never heard the grandeur of the Yellow River,
澎湃汹涌在梦里
Surging and roaring in dreams,
古老的东方有一条龙
In the ancient East there lies a dragon,
它的名字就叫中国
Its name is China,
古老的东方有一群人
In the ancient East, a group of people,
他们全都是龙的传人
They are all descendants of the dragon,
他们全都是龙的传人
They are all descendants of the dragon,
他们全都是
They are all,
Now here's a story that will make you cry
Now here's a story that will make you cry,
Straight from Taiwan they came
Straight from Taiwan they came,
Just a girl and a homeboy in love
Just a girl and a homeboy in love.
No money, no job, no speak, no English
No money, no job, no speak, no English
Nobody gonna give 'em the time of day in a city so cold
Nobody gonna give 'em the time of day in a city so cold
They made a wish, and then they had the strength to graduate with honors
They made a wish, and then they had the strength to graduate with honors
And borrowed 50 just to custom-made
And borrowed 50 just to custom-made
A marriage under God who never left their side
A marriage under God who never left their side
Gave their children pride
Gave their children pride
Raise your voices high, love will never die and never
Raise your voices high, love will never die and never
多年前宁静的一个夜
Many years ago on a tranquil night
我们全家人到了纽约
Our whole family arrived in New York
野火呀烧不尽在心间
Wildfire can't be extinguished in the heart
每夜每天对家思念
Every night and day, I miss my home
每夜每天对家思念
Every night and day, I miss my home
别人士地上我成长
In a foreign land, I grew up
长成以后是龙的传人
And now, I've become a descendant of dragons
巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼
Great dragon, great dragon, open your eyes wide
永永远远的擦亮眼
Forever and ever, keep your eyes wide open
巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼
Great dragon, great dragon, open your eyes wide
永永远远的擦亮眼
Forever and ever, keep your eyes wide open
巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼
Great dragon, great dragon, open your eyes wide
永永远远的擦亮眼
Forever and ever, keep your eyes wide open
巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼
Dragon, dragon, open your eyes wide
永永远远的擦亮眼
Forever and ever, keep them bright
巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼
Dragon, dragon, open your eyes wide
永永远远的擦亮眼
Forever and ever, keep them bright
巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼
Dragon, dragon, open your eyes wide
永永远远的擦亮眼
Forever and ever, keep them bright
巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼
Dragon, dragon, open your eyes wide
永永远远的擦亮眼
Forever and ever, keep them bright
