大海航行靠舵手，
万物生长靠太阳。
雨露滋润禾苗壮，
干革命靠的是毛泽东思想。
鱼儿离不开水呀，
瓜儿离不开秧。
革命群众离不开共产党。
毛泽东思想是不落的太阳。

Sailing seas depends on the helmsman,
Life and growth depends on the sun.
Rain and dew nourish the crops,
Making revolution depends on Mao Zedong Thought.
Fish can't leave the water,
Nor melons leave the vines.
The revolutionary masses can't do without the Communist Party.
Mao Zedong Thought is the sun that forever shines.
