Lo Chia-luen: Rendezvous
羅加倫﹕會師歌

The song is to be sung by a chorus divided into two groups, one representing the Chinese expedition troops from the south (Burma), and the other, the Chinese forces sent from the north (Yunnan). The first group sings in a defiant mood as it fights its way towards the China-Burma border. Then the second group sings triumphantly as it marches southward to meet with its counterpart from the opposite side. Finally both groups join together in a dramatic finale as they rendezvous on the border.

緬甸會師 第一組唱 飛過巍巍的駝峰﹐ 配齊了武裝。 藍姆加營中整隊﹐ 我武維揚。 中華男兒身手強﹐ 冒雨作戰真悲壯﹐ 砲火反映出虹霓樣。 踏著巨象的腳印﹐ 驚破了啼猿的哀響。 佔領孟拱﹐胡康﹐ 拏下密支那機場。 再隨著前進號響﹐ 殺進祖國的邊疆﹗

Rendezvous Group 1 sings Over the mighty Hump we flew, Completely armed and equipped . At Ramgarh, India, our unit is in formation, And our spirits are high. Sons of China, strong in body, Battle in the rain, tragically heroic; Artillery fire lights up the sky like rainbows. Treading the footprints of giant elephants, We interrupt the cries of howling monkeys. After retaking Magaung, the Huguan Valley, We occupy the Myitkyna airport. Following the bugle call for advance, We charge toward the border of our Motherland!

第二組唱 度過滔滔怒江﹐ 浪打濕軍裝。 高黎貢山頭積雪﹐ 寒映刀光。 中華兒女身手強﹐ 衝雲好似雁成行﹐ 旌旗更颭在雲霞上。 探得虎豹的洞穴﹐ 打開了狐鼠的迷藏。 攻下騰衝﹐ 龍陵﹐ 衝到瑞麗江岸旁。 再隨著前進號響﹐ 殺出祖國的邊疆﹗

Group 2 sings We cross the swift-flowing Nu River, Our uniforms are soaked. The snow-capped Gaoligong Mountains, Their brightness is reflected on our bayonets. Sons of china, strong in body, In formations like wild geese, We hold high our flags that reach the clouds. Discovering the hideouts of the enemy, We crack the secret of their maneuvers. Tengchong is recaptured, so is Longling, Now we are dashing to the bank of the Ruili River. Following the bugle call for advance, We charge toward the border of our Motherland!

合唱 火焰橫飛﹐ 飛機翱翔。 你看﹗ 敵後還有火光。 你聽﹗ 敵後更有槍響。 霎時間敵軍崩潰﹐ 像是喪家的犬﹐ 失群的狼。 那殘破的太陽旗﹐ 裹著馬革人尸滿戰場﹗ 我們的淚下如雨﹔ 我們的心跳如狂﹔ 我們來不及放下刀和槍。 同胞兄弟們﹐ 大家熱烈的擁抱﹗ 擁抱在祖國的邊疆上﹗

Together Flames are everywhere; Planes fill the sky. Look! There is still fire behind enemy lines. Listen! There is sound of guns too. Suddenly, the enemy forces collapse, Like homeless dogs, And wolves that have strayed from their pack. Tattered Japanese flags of the rising sun And their dead soldiers litter the battle field! Our tears roll down like rain; Our hearts pound out of control; With no time to put down our weapons, Our brethren-in-arms, Let us warmly embrace! We embrace on the border between China and Burma!
