Text

河山 只 在 我 梦 萦, 祖国 已 多年 未 亲近, 可是 不管怎样 也 改变 不了, 我 的 中国 心!

洋装 虽然 穿 在 身, 我 心 依然 是 中国 心! 我 的 祖先 早已 把 我 的 一切, 烙 上 中国 印!

长江 长城,

在 我 心中 重 千斤! 无论 何时,无论 何 地, 心中 一样 亲!

流 在 心里 的 血, 澎湃 着 中华 的 声音! 就算 身 在 他乡 也 改变 不了, 我 的 中国 心

( China ) rivers and mountains appear only in my dreams, The land of my ancestors is already away for many years, But nothing can ever change, My Chinese heart.

Western clothes I wear, My heart but has remained Chinese, My ancestors have my heart Branded with a Chinese character.

Yangtze River, Great Wall,

They lie heavy in my heart, No matter what time, in what place I always carry in my heart.

The blood that flows through my veins, Storm roars: China it sounds, My birth in a foreign country it can never change, My Chinese heart.
