在这片天空日月忠诚的守望
Keeping faithful watch under this sky, the Sun and the Moon
为日出东方使命担当
Undertaking this mission for the break of dawn [in the East]
创新每个日子拥抱着清朗
Creating, embracing everyday clarity and brightness
像一束廉洁阳光感动在心上
Like a beam of incorruptible sunlight, touching our hearts
团结万物生长的力量
Uniting the powers of life from all creation
奉献地球村成为最美的风光
Offerings to the global village become the most beautiful of scenery
网络强国 网在哪光荣梦想在哪
Internet Power! The Web is where glorious dreams are
网络强国 从遥远的宇宙到思念的家
Internet Power! From the distant cosmos to the home we long for
网络强国 告诉世界中国梦在崛起大中华
Internet Power! Tell the world that the China Dream is lifting Greater China to prominence
网络强国 一个我在世界代表着国家
Internet Power! One self represents the nation to the world
在这个世界百川忠诚寻归海洋
In this world, all rivers loyally seek to return to the sea
担当中华文明的丈量
Bearing the measure of Chinese civilization
五千年沉淀点亮创新思想
5,000 years settle and give light to creative new thinking
廉洁就是一个民族清澈荡漾
Incorruptibility is the clear rippling of a nation
我们团结在天地中央
We unite at the center of Heaven and Earth
信仰奉献流淌万里黄河长江
Belief and giving flow for thousands of miles down the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers

中国最高互联网审查机构在首都互联网协会主办的“2015网络媒体春节大联欢”上合唱了半官方会歌《网信精神》。这首歌由北京奥运会主题曲创作者王平久作词，《小苹果》的赵佳霖作曲。歌曲仿照歌颂祖国的革命歌曲，其歌词包括“网络强国 网在哪光荣梦想在哪 网络强国 从遥远的宇宙到思念的家 网络强国 告诉世界中国梦在崛起大中华 网络强国 一个我在世界代表着国家”。《纽约时报》称，部分表演视频被删除了，但在优酷上仍然可以找到相关视频。

信仰奉献流淌万里黄河长江
Belief and giving flow for thousands of miles down the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers
Belief 是否应该是 “信念” ？
之前几句提到有关 “廉洁” 像荡漾的河水。一个人或国家想达到 “廉洁” 的境界，应该只是一个 “信念”，而不是信仰吧？！

應該用 “信心奉獻” 會與上文較連貫，以表達個人以及國家人民，大家憑信心一起追求 （如黃河長江般） 以達到 “廉洁” 的境界。
用 “信仰” 個人覺得好像有點不倫不類 ？

填詞不是一件易事，遷就得音樂，歌詞便配不上了。同意歌詞是十分牽強，而且背後的理念也很有問題。什麼是網絡強國？為什麼一定要做網絡強國？網信精神是什麼？為什麼不是資訊流通自由，真實不虛假，而是東方使命，大中華？百思不得其解。

| style and format for English translation of lyrics, songs and verses | Feb 19, 2015 |
When performing translation for songs, lyrics and verses, or even proses, the style and format become even more of an importance: the syllables, rhythms , rhymes all together can help forming the musicality of the works.
The original verses in Chinese are rhymed. Oftentimes, you will see the translator using the creative/poetic license to purposely interpret the meaning of the original verses in a vague or liberal way, in order to balance the musicality of the lyrics.

That's all fine and dandy, but is this even an English sentence?

tanglsus,
Sorry if I misread your previous post. The original Chinese lyrics and its English translation are both awful, IMO.
Happy Chinese New Year.

No apologies needed, wherestip. And I only looked at this piece of lyrics and its translation from technical aspects without giving any further consideration to the content.
Cheers!
