The red flag flew high
鲜艳的红领巾系满理想
And the bright red scarf was full of ideals

THOMAS：
中国少年先锋队组织与共和国同龄，
Our Young Pioneers organization is the same age as the Republic
已经走过了几十年的风雨历程。
Has gone through decades of trials and hardships
作为新时代的少先队员，
As pioneers of the new era
我们一定循着革命前辈的足迹，
We must follow the footsteps of our revolutionary predecessors
从小听党话、跟党走，
Listen to the Party and follow the Party from an early age
学习做人、立志、创造，
Learn to behave, aspire and create
让红色基因代代相传，
So that the red gene will be passed on from generation to generation
成长为担当民族复兴大任的时代新人！
And grow up to be the new man of the times who will take up the great responsibility of national rejuvenation!
