Untruth

The mountains and rivers of the Southern Kingdom belong to the Southern Emperor.
Fate is absolutely determined in the Book of Heaven.
As the river flows, the barbarians come to invade.
You will surely suffer defeat.(1)

Soak in the spring air
Last year was a glorious victory.
This year, the front lines will surely win even bigger.
For independence, for freedom
Fight to drive the Americans out, fight to overthrow the puppet regime.
Forward! Soldiers and compatriots!
North and South reunited, what spring could be more joyful? (2)
