Lyrics:
大海航行靠舵手，
dà hǎi háng xíng kào duò shǒu,

万物生长靠太阳。
wàn wù shēng cháng kào tai yáng.

雨露滋润禾苗壮，
yǔ lù zī rùn hé miáo zhuàng,

干革命靠的是毛泽东思想。
gàn gé mìng kào de shì máo zé dōng sī xiǎng.

鱼儿离不开水呀，
yú ér lí bù kāi shuǐ ya,

瓜儿离不开秧。
guā ér lí bù kāi yāng.

革命群众离不开共产党。
gé mìng qún zhòng lí bù kāi gòng chǎn dǎng.

毛泽东思想是不落的太阳。
máo zé dōng sī xiǎng shì bù luò de tai yáng.

Or in English:

Sailing the Seas depends on the Helmsman,
Life and growth depends on the Sun,
Rain and dew drops nourish the crops,
Making revolution depends on Mao Zedong thought.
Fish can't do without water,
No melons do without vines,
The Revolutionary Masses can't do without their Communist Party,
Mao Zedong thought is the Sun that forever shines!
