Lyrics of Ma Yutao's Ode to the Lantern

Lantern

Lantern

Red Army's Lantern

The Red Army set foot on the journey that year

Light this lamp in the dark

Thousands of mountains and rivers under our feet

A spark of light

Lantern with long march

There was a rush on the road

There was a rush

Lantern, lantern, lantern, lantern

Lantern, lantern, lantern, lantern

The Red Army set foot on the journey that year

Light this lamp in the dark

Thousands of mountains and rivers under our feet

A spark of light

Lantern with long march

There was a rush on the road

There was a rush

Lantern

Lantern

Step on the foot

Split the wind through the fog to meet the dawn

With the Red Army lamp

Chang'an Street has its lights

The moon is round in every family

The motherland stands in laughter

Take over the lamp of the Red Army

Took over faith and tradition

Eternal praise

Lantern

Lantern

The Red Army's lantern lights up the journey

The Red Army's Lantern meets the dawn

The Red Army set foot on the journey that year

Light this lamp in the dark

Thousands of mountains and rivers under our feet

A spark of light

Lantern with long march

There was a rush on the road

There was a rush

Lantern

Lantern

Red Army's Lantern
