on one early morning, at a peaceful dawn
with your blood and lives taken away
You're the monument of free China to come !!

Heroes, they used tanks and army against you
while you wanted just freedom innocently
and dignity for every single individual
Your cause is not dead, your cause is alive, more than ever !!

Kept in the soul of the nation forever, the Soul of China

and the Goddess of Freedom shall return
to her rightful place on the Tiananmen Square
