使举国之少年而果为少年也,则吾中国为未来之国,其进步未可量也。使举国之少年而亦为老大也,则吾中国为过去之国,其澌亡可翘足而待也。
故今日之责任,不在他人,而全在我少年。少年智则国智,少年富则国富;少年强则国强,少年独立则国独立;少年自由则国自由;少年进步则国进步;少年胜于欧洲,则国胜于欧洲;少年雄于地球,则国雄于地球。红日初升,其道大光。河出伏流,一泻汪洋。潜龙腾渊,鳞爪飞扬。乳虎啸谷,百兽震惶。鹰隼试翼,风尘翕张。奇花初胎,矞矞皇皇。干将发硎,有作其芒。天戴其苍,地履其黄。纵有千古,横有八荒。前途似海,来日方长。美哉,我少年中国,与天不老!壮哉,我中国少年,与国无疆!
What makes a nation young and what makes a nation young is that China is the country of the future, and its progress cannot be measured. As a young man and an old man, China is a country of the past.
Therefore, today's responsibility, not others, but all in my youth. The wisdom of youth means national wisdom, and the wealth of youth means national wealth. The juvenile is strong and the juvenile is independent; Freedom of youth means freedom of the country; The progress of youth leads to the progress of the country; A youth is better than Europe, and a country is better than Europe. Young man on the earth, then the country on the earth. When the sun rises, the path of the sun shines brightly. The river flows out, emptying into the ocean. Submerged dragon tengyuan, scale claws fly. The milk tiger roar valley, all animals shock. A hawk tries his wings and moves. The first child of a wonderful flower, emperor of the emperor. Lieutenant Xing, has as its awn. The sky is yellow and the earth is yellow. There are eight ruins, though there are thousands of them. The future is like sea, the future is long. Beautiful young China and sky not old! My China youth, and the country is boundless!
