Lyrics of Hou Xu's Ode to volunteers

There are many strong men in Yanzhao

There is Ma Huaide in Dacheng county

Eliminate harm for the people and give up life and death

Raising eyebrows and chopping poisonous snake with axe

There are many descendants of Mahalanobis

Inherit the merits of ancestors

Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and family prosperity

Honest and magnanimous to serve the country

Hao Er Zhuang respects the sages

Stay in folklore for a long time

So far, I have been chanting the ballad of cutting python

A song of lofty sentiments

Good boys fight bravely

Why fear the bumpy road of life

The blood of our ancestors flows all over us

Singing again in the tide of the times

There are many strong men in Yanzhao

There is Ma Huaide in Dacheng county

Eliminate harm for the people and give up life and death

Raising eyebrows and chopping poisonous snake with axe

There are many descendants of Mahalanobis

Inherit the merits of ancestors

Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and family prosperity

Honest and magnanimous to serve the country

Hao Er Zhuang respects the sages

Stay in folklore for a long time

I've been chanting the ballad ever since

A song of lofty sentiments

Good boys fight bravely

Why fear the bumpy road of life

The blood of our ancestors flows all over us

Singing again in the tide of the times

Hao Er Zhuang respects the sages

Stay in folklore for a long time

So far, I have been chanting the ballad of cutting python

A song of lofty sentiments

Good boys fight bravely

Why fear the bumpy road of life

The blood of our ancestors flows all over us

New era

Singing again in the tide of the times
