七律·长征

文/毛泽东

红军

不怕远征难，

The Red Army 

fears not the hardships 

of the long march,

万水

Ten thousand rivers 

and a thousand mountains 

are but trifles.

五岭

逶迤腾细浪，

The Five Ridges wind 

like surging waves,

乌蒙

磅礴走泥丸。

The Wumeng Mountains 

are traversed as easily 

as rolling a mud ball.

金沙

浪拍云崖暖，

The Jinsha River's waves 

warm the cliffs,

大渡

桥横铁索寒

The Dadu River bridge 

hangs cold with iron chains.

更喜

岷山千里雪，

Even more joyful 

is the thousand-mile snow 

of the Min Mountains,

三军

过后尽开颜。

After the three armies pass, 

all faces beam with joy.
