Tune: Prelude to the Melody of Water Swimming

June 1956

Having relished a cup of Changsha water

And then a dish

of Wuchang fish,

I swim across the thousand-mile long river, 

And as far as can reach the eye,

I find the wide, wide Southern sky.

Braving wild winds and waves, I feel more pleasure

Than strolling in a yard at leisure:

What freedom I enjoy today!

The Master on a stream did say:

“Thus pass all things away！”

Sails in the wind go past,

Tortoise and Snake stand fast；

Great works are on the make:

A bridge will fly from north to south o'er there,

Turning the chasm into a thoroughfare.

Stone walls will stand across the river in the west

To hold back clouds and rains o'er Mount Witch's crest

Until between steep cliffs emerges a placid lake.

Mount Goddess standing still as before

Would be surprised to find no more

The world of yore.

才饮长沙水，
又食武昌鱼。
万里长江横渡，
极目楚天舒。
不管风吹浪打，
胜似闲庭信步，
今日得宽馀。
子在川上曰：
逝者如斯夫！

风樯动，
龟蛇静，
起宏图。
一桥飞架南北，
天堑变通途。
更立西江石壁，
截断巫山云雨，
高峡出平湖。
神女应无恙，
当惊世界殊。
