the psalm of chi’yo
part one
the dark majestic statue stands toweringly,
it is not only the totem of the miao nationality in xiangxi,
but also the god of war in chinese nation’s legend,
chi’yo will never die, and all enemies fear you from hearts,
you are also the rain god for the farming ethnics
chi’yo pays sympathy for people, and fall with abundant water,
so the fountains rising, waves rippling, waterfalls cascading.
you are over the thousands of years of vicissitudes of life,
so the history of the earth becomes so plump!
the majestic statue, as a sacred totem,
worshiped by the generation after generation,
the same as flames rising,
roasted the golden years,
a great nation reborn in the fire,
like phoenix’s nirvana, dream
like the regeneration of the ancient lotus’ seeds,
in the sludge the lotus flowers are in full blooming,
again, the national grand movement,
the revival of the nation begins!
part two
although defeated in zhuolu, and the nation had to migrate,
the tribulations cast your majesty,
besides remove the disease and evil, you control the weather,
the incarnation and ancestor of the dragon is no others but you!
maybe, it doesn't need the coward's creeping before you,
you inspire later generations straight their backs,
you would rather to be a dragon boat,
cleave through the waves, flying in the storm,
with the collision speed and passion,
casting the distant horizon with ideal!
like moses led the suffering people out of the land of egypt,
you make the east sleeping lions out of the morass,
let the darkness shortened,
let the seawater become sweet,
let all the absurd fantasy into reality,
let all bold deviants stir up the times’ tide!
the wind and rain become heavy while the thunderbolts so terrific,
the seeds of life also can be rooted in the barrens,
let every barren hill become profusion of vegetation,
let every plain become full of the beauty of spring!
frustration and difficulties cannot stop us,
we, all of us, like you,
shoulder the heavy mission,
to dedicate ourselves for the great changes!
chinese dream has never been so strong,
million people united as one man, our wills unite like a fortress,
the sons of chi’yo will keep forward like arrows!
蚩尤之歌
一
那黑魆魆突兀矗立的神像
不仅仅是湘西苗族祭祀的图腾
更是中华民族神话中的战神
蚩尤威而不死，八方万邦皆为弭服
你还是农耕民族祈雨的雨神
蚩尤怜万民，丰沛雨水降
于是泉涌溶洞，河漾波涛，瀑泻巉岩
你逾越了万年的沧桑
恒古因你而丰腴
雄伟的神像，作为神圣的图腾
使一代又一代活的生命折服
当朝拜像火焰升腾
烤熟了金黄的岁月
一个伟大的民族浴火重生
凤凰涅槃，梦想
如再生的千年的古莲
污泥中绽放瑰丽的奇葩
重新开始，民族的恢弘乐章
复兴之路的开篇
二
涿鹿战败，民族苦难迁徙
悲壮的历史塑就了你的威严
除疫避邪，主风调雨顺
你是龙的化身，龙的祖先
也许，你不需要懦弱者的匍匐
你激励后来者挺直了腰杆
你更愿化作一只龙舟
劈波斩浪，腾跃在风口浪尖
速度和激情的碰撞
用理想铸造遥远的地平线
你如摩西带苦难的民族走出埃及
你令喝东方的睡狮走出泥沼
让黑暗缩短
让海水变甜
让所有的荒谬幻想都变成现实
让所有的大胆越轨都掀起跨越时代的狂澜
风雨撼地，霹雳震天
生命的种子在贫瘠之地也会扎根
让每一座荒山都郁郁葱葱
让每一块平原都春意盎然
坎坷、挫折已不可遏制我们的步伐
我们正像你一样
肩起那沉重的使命
献身于沧海桑田的巨变
中国梦从没有如此强大
万众一心，众志成城
蚩尤的子孙开弓没有回头箭
