China catches my heart
No one can break us apart
No matter where I travel
You are what I’m singing for
I’m singing of your high mountains
Singing of your land and rocks
Sing of hometown, the big or small
Sing of them once more
Oh China how I love you
When I nestle(依偎) in your arms feeling blue
You share with me the stories before
Make me cheerful
My motherland and me
Are the spindrift and the sea
I am your dear spindrift
You are the sea that hugs me
Whenever you get to smile
You raise me up, make me high
I share all your sorrows and joys
Share seashells on the shore
La…la…la…la…la…la…la…
La…la…la…la… la…la…la…la…
You are the mother we all adore
We all adore
Oh China how I love you
When I nestle in your arms feeling blue
You are the mother we all adore
We all adore
