The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (hey!) is good indeed,
Good indeed, good indeed, good indeed!
Marxism-Leninism is spreading far and wide;
Red flags flutter in the superstructure.
Revolutionary big-character posters (hey!)
Are spreading like wildfire.
Our triumphant songs resound to the heavens.
Seven hundred million people unite in struggle;
Our red country stands firm.
(The Cultural Revolution is good! The Cultural Revolution is good!)
The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is good indeed,
Good indeed, good indeed, good indeed!

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (hey!) is good indeed,
Good indeed, good indeed, good indeed!
A heroic new generation is growing up,
Struggling against the wind and the adverse tide.
In industry learn from Daqing (hey!);
In agriculture learn from Dazhai.
The news of our victory is spreading all over China.
Seven hundred million people follow Chairman Mao
To continue the revolution and race ahead.
(The Cultural Revolution is good! The Cultural Revolution is good!)
The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is good indeed,
Good indeed, good indeed, good indeed!
