Mandarin march direction · brass, male voice and lyrical choir

The old poem’s abundant lotus leaves and fish darting east, west, south and north become a call across a morning march. The words travel away from Jiangnan, then place a mother before distant glory. Strong steps and domestic tenderness coexist; this is not presented as an account of a particular battle.

The 132 BPM, 2/4 march direction drives male lead and answering choir with snare, bass drum, tuba and brass. Woodwinds and strings bring the middle passage closer to home. Follow the four-way calls into open space, then return to rice and lamplight.

Read the lyrics
[Intro] 江南水长,莲叶正香, 一声号角,唤我起航。 [Verse 1] 江南可采莲,军歌过桥梁, 莲叶何田田,映着戎装。 鱼戏莲叶东,队伍向东方, 鱼戏莲叶西,家国在胸膛。 [Pre-Chorus] 南风送来母亲的叮咛, 北雁捎来故乡的月光。 肩上有使命,心中有安康, 我们把青春写在山河上。 [Chorus] 雄赳赳,气昂昂, 踏着晨光守四方。 东也守,西也守, 南北万里都是家乡。 雄赳赳,气昂昂, 歌声越过水云长。 若问归期何时到, 平安二字先寄到身旁。 [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] 鱼戏莲叶间,舟行桥影旁, 一叶小舟载着,百姓的愿望。 鱼戏莲叶西,鱼戏莲叶南, 月亮照着营房,照亮我思量。 [Pre-Chorus] 想起灶台温热的饭香, 想起门前等候的目光。 肩上有风霜,脚下有力量, 守住万家灯火才是荣光。 [Bridge] 不必问归期, 江河记得我们的方向。 若有远方召唤, 就让青春回答担当。 [Final Chorus] 雄赳赳,气昂昂, 踏着晨光守四方。 东也守,西也守, 南北万里都是家乡。 雄赳赳,气昂昂, 莲叶依旧满池香。 待到凯歌归来时, 一声妈妈,胜过万里荣光。 [Outro] 江南水长,莲叶正香, 军歌唱到,山高水长。
