“我爱你,中国”英译

[The translation here comes as a result of supporting a concert from which all proceeds are for the shipping medical equipments to 512 earthquake victims in Sichuan. I realize that this song was translated before by others; but, allow me to invent the wheel yet again, in the spirit of loving our country and folks.]

I Love You, China

A skylark soars across the blue sky
"I love you, China!"

I love you, China
I love your vibrant rice paddies in spring green
I love your fruit mountains in golden autumn
I love the classy stance of your pine trees
I love the high character of your Mei flowers
I love the sweat sugarcanes of my homeland
Nurturing my heart like mother’s milk
I love you, China
Here for you is my most beautiful song
My dear mother
My motherland

I love you, China
I love your South Sea of blue waves
I love your great North of white snow
I love your ever-expanding forests
I love all your mountains majestic
I love every small river of yours
that stream through my dreams like sweet music
I love you, China
I devote my glorious youth to you
My dear mother
My motherland
