Perhaps one day, as if possessed by a spirit,
说不定是突然着了魔，
Suddenly out of the blue sky a thunder
突然青天里一个霹雳
Will explode:
爆一声：
China, our China!
“咱们的中国！”
How would I say this today?

But there is one sentence you must listen to:
那么有一句话你听着：
Wait till the volcano cannot keep any silence
等火山忍不住了缄默，
Don’t tremble, put out your tongue or stamp your feet,
不要发抖，伸舌头，顿脚，
Just wait till out of the blue sky a thunder

Will explode:
爆一声：
China, our China!
