Lyrics of Qu Hui's Ode to Populus euphratica

On the edge of the nabadanjin desert

There is a young Populus euphratica

firm and unyielding character

Be proud of the wind and frost

unremitting self-improvement

one 's fighting spirit soars aloft

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

You live for a thousand years

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

A thousand years after you die

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

You are immortal for a thousand years

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

Your spirit is admired by mankind

On that wild wasteland

Growing a tenacious Populus euphratica

Magnificent picture

Four seasons blooming

Interpreting life

Writing a splendid chapter

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

You live for a thousand years

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

A thousand years after you die

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

You are immortal for a thousand years

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

Your spirit is admired by mankind

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

You live for a thousand years

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

A thousand years after you die

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

You are immortal for a thousand years

Ah, Populus euphratica

Ah, Populus euphratica

Your spirit is admired by mankind

Your spirit is admired by mankind

Your spirit is admired by mankind
