Lyrics appreciation:

（朗诵）但是，中华民族的儿女啊

But, children of the Chinese nation

谁愿意像猪羊一般任人宰割？

Who wants to be slaughtered like pigs and sheep?

我们抱定必死的决心

We are determined to die

保卫黄河，保卫华北，保卫全中国！

Defend the Yellow River, North China and the whole of China!

（唱歌）风在吼，马在叫

(singing) the wind is roaring and the horse is barking

黄河在咆哮，黄河在咆哮

The Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring

河西山岗万丈高，河东河北高梁熟了

The mountains in Hexi are ten thousand feet high, and Gaoliang in Hedong Hebei is ripe

万山丛中抗日英雄真不少

There are many anti Japanese heroes in the mountains

青纱帐里游击健儿逞英豪

Guerrilla heroes in the green gauze tent show off their heroism

端起了土枪洋枪，挥动着大刀长矛

He picked up his soil gun, foreign gun and waved his big knife and spear

保卫家乡

Defend your hometown

保卫黄河，保卫华北，保卫全中国

Defend the Yellow River, North China and the whole of China
