一 上 一 上 又 一 上 (Yī shàng yī shàng yòu yī shàng)
一 上 上 到 高 山 上 (yī shàng shàng dào gāoshān shàng)
举 头 红 日 白 云 低 (jǔ tóu hóng rì báiyún dī)
五 洲 四 海 皆 一 望 (wǔzhōu sìhǎi jiē yīwàng)
translation
One step up, one step up, and another
One step up until the top of the mountain high.
Lifting my head, there are the red Sun, white clouds low
At one glance I take in the Four Seas, Five Lakes fine.
