VERSE:
You are the carrier of peace
You are the existence of harmony
You are the heritage of replication
You are the era of love
REFRAIN:
Harmony is the core law of the universe
It’s the unity of matter and spirit
All things grow without harming each other
Wisdom and love lead to harmony with differences
A dream of unified mankind
Splendid tomorrow
Harmonious future
