Lyrics:
My home is in the Northeast, on the Songhua River,
Where there are forests and coal mines,
And the hills are full of soybean sorghum.
My home is on the Songhua River in the Northeast,
there are my compatriots,
and the aging parents.
Nine-eleven, nine-eleven,
from that tragic time!
Nine-eleven, nine-eleven!
From that tragic time,
Separated from my native land,
Forsaking that endless treasure,
Wandering! Wander!
All day long price in Kannai, wandering!
What year, what month,
will I be able to return to my lovely hometown?
What year, what month,
Can I take back that endless treasure?
O father and mother, father and mother.
When,
will we be able to gather together?
