4. Chinese Lyrics & English Translation of '滿江紅 (Yue Fei’s lyrics to the melody of “A River of Blossoms")' by 林聲翕:

* 滿江紅 / 岳飛 詞；林聲翕 曲

怒髮衝冠，憑闌處，瀟瀟雨歇。抬望眼，仰天長嘯，壯懷激烈。
三十功名塵與土，八千里路雲和月。莫等閒，白了少年頭，空悲切。
靖康恥，猶未雪；臣子恨，何時滅？駕長車，踏破賀蘭山缺。
壯志饑餐胡虜肉，笑談渴飲匈奴血。 待從頭、收拾舊山河，朝天闕。

* Yue Fei’s lyrics to the melody of “A River of Blossoms" / Lyrics: Yue Fei; Music: Sheng-Xi Lin

Raging with fury that raises my hair and topples my crest.
While leaning against a rail as heavy rain breaks,
I look up roaring at the sky with high hopes in heart.

While the high rank and fame achieved by thirty are just as negligible as dust,
eight thousand miles of expedition accompanied by clouds and moon are still ahead.
Never waste time; once hair greys, there leaves only regret.

As long as the Jingkang disgrace still awaits revenge; how can my remorse be laid to rest?
We shall charge our chariots to stomp out all intruders on the Helan Pass.

We'd feed on the flesh of the northern tribes when hungry, and cheerfully drink their blood when thirsty.
Once we recover what used to be our territory, we'd pay our respect in the direction of the Gate of Heaven.
