好，黄山松，我大声为你叫好，
谁有你挺得硬，扎得稳，站得高
九千里雷霆，八千里风暴
劈不歪，砍不动，轰不倒!
要站就站上云头
七十二峰与你峰峰皆到:
要飞就飞上九霄
把美妙的天堂看个饱!
不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭
你双臂一抖，抗得准，击得好!
更不畏高山雪冷寒彻骨
你折断了霜剑，扭弯了冰刀!
谁有你的根底艰难贫苦啊，
你从那紫色的岩上挺起了腰
即使裸露着的根须。
也把山岩紧紧地拥抱!

你的雄姿像千古高峰不动摇

每一根针叶都闪烁着骄傲，
那背阳的阴处，你横眉怒扫，
向着阳光，你进出劲枝万千条!
啊!黄山松，我热烈地赞美你
我要学你艰苦奋战，不屈不挠
看!在这碧紫透红的群峰之上，
你像昂扬的战旗在呼啦啦地飘
