The Long River of History

(Tune: Qin Yuan Chun )

The long river of history,

deep and boundless,

never ceases running.

It has been surging ahead for

thousands of years.

It has witnessed all changes

in nature and in human affairs.

It has given testimony that

heroes and great individuals

of all past generations

have eventually become part of

the ancient mounds.

It shows how clever individuals

employed schemes and plots

to take advantage of the time

by striving for supremacy and success.

It also shows how through history

disputes and hates were handled

by different races and sects.

What a pity that different faiths

have become mortal enemies.

Let’s hope that those who are in power,

as well as the general public,

have in mind the welfare and

interest of the common people.

It is hoped that we all make effort

to preserve the nature.

We must take care of the

greenhouse effects in our environment.

Looking back at the beautiful rivers and mountains,

do they not deserve our attention?

沁园春˙历史长河

历史长河，深邃无边，不断奔流。历千秋万世，浩荡滔滔，星辰更迭，人事沉浮。百代英豪，千秋俊秀，化作尘埃殁古丘。     乘时势，看群雄逐鹿，慎划深筹。族群敌对无休。叹信仰不同变世仇。望当权人士，贩夫走卒，苍生为念，家国为谋。科学昌明，提倡环保，温室增温伏隐忧。蓦回首，看山川美景，份外娇柔。
