Lyrics Translation: At dawn, I stand upon the green grassland I see a magical eagle bathed in ruddy light Like an auspicious cloud soaring through the blue sky Bringing good luck to the Tibetan people At dusk, I stand atop the tall mountain peak I see the railway built to my hometown A colossal dragon soaring through the mountains Bringing prosperity to the snowy plateau That is a magical Heaven's Road Bringing the motherland's warmth to borderlands Mountains are no longer high, journeys are no longer long All ethnic groups unite as one At dusk, I stand atop the tall mountain peak I see the railway built to my hometown A colossal dragon soaring through the mountains Bringing prosperity to the snowy plateau That is a magical Heaven Road Bringing us to paradise on earth Barley beer and butter tea will taste more sweet Joyful songs echo in all directions That is a magical Heaven Road Bringing us to paradise on earth Barley beer and butter tea will taste more sweet Joyful songs echo in all directions Joyful songs echo in all directions
