Stands straightly and loftily, The trunk is bulky and the branches are strong, More steadfast in the aged Leads the group of the trees, Join hand in hand to dye whole the mountain into green, Shades whole the mountain. From the very beginning, In spite of the road full of vicissitudes, ragged to walk Are weak of the same generation, Are fall head over heels the same generation. This old pine still Stands straightly and loftily, Stands straightly and loftily, The younger the older The more luxuriant the older, The more the open and spread the branches and leaves the older, The trunk is bulkier and the branches are stronger the older, Lives happier the older. Stands straightly and loftily More steadfast in the aged. Leads the group of the trees Join hand in hand to dye whole the mountain into green. Shades whole the mountain Let them green and gaily, full of vigour and vitality and in abundance.
