龍的傳人 [Lóng de chuán rén] [English translation]

In the Far East there is a river,

its name is the Yangtze River

In the Far East there is a river,

its name is the Yellow River

In the Ancient East there is a dragon,

her name is China

In the Ancient East there is a people,

they are all the heirs of the dragon

I grew up under the claw of the dragon,

after I grew up I became an heir of the dragon

Black eyes, black hair, yellow skin,

forever and ever an heir of the dragon

In the Far East there is a river,

its name is the Yangtze River

In the Far East there is a river,

its name is the Yellow River

Although I’ve never seen the beauty of the Yangtze,

in my dreams I miraculously travel the Yangtze’s waters

Although I’ve never heard the strength of the Yellow River,

the rushing and surging waters are in my dreams

In the Ancient East there is a dragon,

her name is China

In the Ancient East there is a people,

they are all the heirs of the dragon

they are all the heirs of the dragon

they are all

(rap)

Now here's a story that'll make you cry,

Straight from Taiwan they came, just a girl and a homeboy in love

No money, no job, no speak no English

Nobody gonna give them the time of day in a city so cold

They made a wish then they had the strength

To graduate with honors and borrowed fifty just to consummate

A marriage under god

Who never left their side

Gave their children pride

Raise your voices high

Love will never die, never die……

Many years ago on a tranquil night,

Our whole family arrived in New York.

Nothing can destroy what is in our hearts: every night,

Every day longing for home.

I grew up in someone else’s land,

After I grew up I became an heir of the dragon.

Mighty dragon, mighty dragon open your eyes,

forever and ever open your eyes

Mighty dragon, mighty dragon open your eyes,

forever and ever open your eyes

Mighty dragon, mighty dragon open your eyes,

forever and ever open your eyes

Mighty dragon, mighty dragon open your eyes,

forever and ever open your eyes

Mighty dragon, mighty dragon open your eyes,

forever and ever open your eyes

Mighty dragon, mighty dragon open your eyes,

forever and ever open your eyes

Mighty dragon, mighty dragon open your eyes,

forever and ever open your eyes
