《To Liu Ya Zi (1945.12.8)》 Zhu De

莫將勝利歸麟閣
Deeds of victory belongs not the Hall of Fame for Ministers
咱就人民子弟兵
We are soldiers of the people our identity simpler
不愛金錢不惜命
We love not riches nor do we fear death
願為民主作長城
For democracy we build a new Great Wall in defense

《On the Triple Terrace – Harmony with Comrade Dong Bi Wu (1940) 》Zhu De

秋初日暖看飛鴻  On an early autumn warm day we watch the wild geese
延水青山在眼中  The frontier rills and green hills we vividly see
赤足渡河防驟雨  Crossing the river in bare feet we avoided a sudden attack
科頭失帽遇狂風  Against the brisk wind our caps fly away from our heads Continue reading →

《擬杜甫“諸將五首”其一》 朱德

【漢朝陵墓對南山/  胡虜千秋尚入關/ 昨日玉魚蒙葬地/  早時金碗出人間/ 見愁汗馬西戎逼/  曾閃朱旗北斗殷/ 多少材官守涇渭/  將軍且莫破愁顏】

《Mt. Lun the Chinese Spirit_1916》Zhu De 江紹論英譯

中華靈氣在侖山  On Mt. Lun lives esprit chinois
威勢飛揚鎮遠關  It rises mighty to watch the frontiers far
史穢推翻光史冊  A shameful era ended our history books in review
人權再鑄重人間  Humanity enriched with human rights renewed
千秋漢業同天永  A thousand years of Han culture will thrive eternal;
五色旌旗映日殷  In sunshine our five-color flag flashes formal
多少英才一時見  How many elite sons appear on a day like this
諸君愛國應開顏  They show their patriotism laughing heartily

《贈與同窗好友_(1906)》 朱德  《To My Classmates_(1906)》 Zhu De

驪歌一曲思無窮  Many thoughts rise after we sang the Auld Lang Syne
今古興亡憶記中  Our motherland had gone through many a fall and rise
污吏豈知清似水  The beauty of pure waters is not known to officials vile
書生便應氣如虹  A learned man should be radiant as a rainbow in high sky
恨他狼虎貪心黑  I hate those greedy villains with dire selfishness
嘆我河山泣淚紅  I sigh seeing my country in teary distress
祖國安危人有責  The security of our motherland is our responsibility
沖天壯志付飛鵬  I mount the sky-bound legendary bird fly ever ready

《蝶戀花·榆林港（一九五九）》葉劍英

日逐寒流尋雁去  風雪關山  不礙雲中路
飛到榆林天已暑   夏秋只隔三朝暮

到鹿回頭濱海處  紅豆離離  佔斷天涯路
淺水藍魚梭樣去   教人疑是龍宮女
