March of the Volunteers
Arise, whoever does not want slavery anymore!
With our blood and flesh let us build our new Great Wall!
The people of China have risen at their most dangerous hour,
Every man is forced to make his last cry.
Get up! Get up! Get up!
We are one in heart and soul,
Forward through enemy fire!
Forward through enemy fire!
Forward! Forward! Forward!
