八千里路云和月。莫等闲、白了少年头,空悲切。
靖康耻,犹未雪;臣子憾,何时灭。驾长车踏破、贺兰山缺。壮志饥餐胡虏肉笑
谈渴饮匈奴血。待从头、收拾旧山河。朝天阙。

“Towards the sky I let out a battle cry; My blood is boiling. Thirty years: rank and honor, just so much dust; Eight hundred leagues: travelling with the moon and clouds. Do not let it slip away; When a young man’s head turns grey, Regret will be too late.
The national insult Is yet to be avenged; Your servants” shame: When will it be erased? Let us ride the long chariots To crush those mountain strong holds.

Glorious quest: to feast on the flesh of the invaders. We laugh and chat and quench our thirst with Tartar blood. Let us start To take back our rivers and mountains, And report to the Heavenly Palace”
