Enjoy a song "Ode to Yellow River" by Xinchang Li in 1975 with beautiful scenery of the Yellow River in the upper, middle and lower reaches.
The lyrics are translated as the followings:
Standing on a mountain top, I look at the Yellow River rolling and running towards the southeast.
The stormy billows stirring up lofty high raging waves,
and the turbid flow forming twist and turn channel.
It runs from the foot of Kunlun mountain towards the coast of Yellow Sea;
dividing central China into south and north.
Ah, the Yellow River!
You are the cradle of the nation!
Five thousand years' ancient culture was originated from you;
and many heroic stories occurred on your side.
Ah, the Yellow River!
You are great and strong, like a giant standing on the Asian plain,
building our nation's protective screen by your heroic body.
Ah, the Yellow River!
You flow down miles long, rushing vigorously with thousands of irony arms reaching out toward both the south and north banks.
The great spirits of our nation will be developed under your feeding.
The heroic sons and daughters of our homeland will follow your example and
to be as great as you!
to be as strong as you!
