The Paratrooper Song
Looking at the numerous clouds
Many specks of falling stars
Floating in the beautiful sky
We are the Three Principles of the People’s* and New China’s paratroopers
For the survival of the people
And the peace of the nation
We are forming a living Great Wall
For this goal we forge ahead
Strictly maintaining discipline
Obeying orders
Courageous and determined to kill the enemy
And not hesitating to sacrifice ourselves
We are the Three Principles of the People’s paratroopers
We are New China’s paratroopers
——–
* Sun Yat-sen’s Three Principles of the People:
Nationalism, Democracy and Livelihood (Wikipedia)
