Lyrics of a military salute by Cai Guoqing

Raise your arms and make a military salute,

The hearts of soldiers are full of boundless affection.

Raise your arms and make a military salute,

The hearts of soldiers are full of boundless affection.

A military salute, ah! A military salute.

I dedicate this military gift to the flag,

Flying flag, flying flag

Soaked with the blood of the martyrs.

A military salute, ah! A military salute.

I give this military gift to the earth,

The land of the motherland, the land of the motherland

It's the most beautiful flower season.

Raise your arms and make a military salute,

The hearts of soldiers are full of boundless affection.

Raise your arms and make a military salute,

The hearts of soldiers are full of boundless affection.

A military salute, ah! A military salute.

I dedicate this military gift to the steel gun,

Polished steel gun, polished steel gun

Shining with the honor of the soldiers of the Republic.

A military salute, ah! A military salute.

I give this military gift to my mother,

Dear mother, dear mother

My son has grown up and is in the wind and rain.

Raise your arms and make a military salute

Raise your arms and make a military salute

The most unforgettable is the solemn military ceremony!
