Original lyrics
四渡赤水出奇兵
橫斷山，路難行，
天如火，水似銀。
親人送水來解渴，
軍民如水一家人。
橫斷山，路難行，
敵重兵，壓黔境。
戰士雙腳走天下，
四渡赤水出奇兵。
烏江天際重飛渡，
兵臨貴陽迫昆明。
敵人棄甲掉煙槍，
我軍乘勝趕路程。
調虎離出襲金沙，
毛主席用兵真如神！

Cross Chishui 4 times with ingenious military move
The Hengduan Mountain！ How difficult to climb!
The sky is firing and the river is silverish.
Our people offer us water to quench our thirst,
The Red Army and the people are like fish and water.
How difficult it is to cross the Hengduan Mountain!
The huge assembly of our enemy is pressing us from Guizhou Province.
The feet of our soldiers can conquer every places under the heaven,
A blitz regiment crosses the Chishui River four times!
We fly over the heavenly barrier,
The enemy flee with shedding armours and losing their opium pipe3.
and we are on our own way with a great victory.
We lured the tiger to leave his den by pretending attack of Jinsha,
Chairman Mao's millitary maneuver is like God.
Comments
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!

Translation from the comments of the video. The author of the translation explains:
This song is to praise the Red Army's first victory under Chairman Mao's leading again. (Chairman Mao was forced to leave his leading post by his opponent in the Party before. That was why the Red Army failed and was forced to start the Long March). Chairman Mao led the Red Army to cross the ChiShui River four times, which greatly baffled Chiang Kai-Shek's army and the warlords of Guizhou Province (Wang Jia Lie) and the warlords of YunNan Provice. The Red Army broke away the tailgating of enemy.
