Ode to the National Father
Lyrics by: Dai Chuanxian
Composition by: Lei Jinhui
Our national father, pioneer of revolution,
Revolutionary blood akin to blossoms.
Overturning tyranny, erecting a republic,
Giving birth to democratic China.
As the Republic emerges anew, affairs abound,
The national father meticulously plans,
To reshape China once more.
Three Principles of the People, Five-Power Constitution,
Truth sought meticulously.
A lifetime of toil, half a life of wandering,
Sacrificing and striving for the nation.
The spirit of the national father, eternally enduring,
Like the sun in the sky, lasting through the ages.
The land roars with turmoil (alternatively, "People's livelihoods wither"), the nation's path fraught with difficulty,
Disasters lingering still.
Do not scatter the unity, do not let the spirit fade,
Let us mutually encourage one another.
The national father's last words, do not forget,
The revolution is not yet successful, comrades still need to strive.
