Lyrics: Hao Yun Arranged by Hao Yun
Rolling a hoop in the hutong and chasing the kite behind me
Beyond the willow branches in the spring, twisting them into willow whistles and blowing them
I'm the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, study hard and pull myself up every day
Only because of the only thing I ever wished for was to have a gun in the future
I always woke up early in the morning and saw the birds dancing
All the time, I could always see the birds dancing. I woke up so early that I could see the birds dancing
I wore a white blouse and a red scarf on my chest
Every afternoon at five or six o'clock, my sister called me home for dinner
I always hid to keep her out of my sight, and her voice got farther and farther away
Thirty years went by, and we'd changed our faces long before that
I'd like to see my friends, I'd like to go back in time to that day
I'd like to go back to that day.
The sky was so blue then, and my smile was so bright
The song of farewell still rings in my ears, I want to go back to that day
As I walk to school, I can see the red sun again
I feel different when I see it now than when I was a child
The moon is on my pillow again, and I want to wake up to the bright light of the moon
The memory of my mother's hands, patting me lightly on the back, and the light of the moon is on me. My mother's hands, patting me and singing softly
Thirty years have gone by in a flash, and we've changed our faces
I want to see my little friends, I want to go back to that day
The sky was so blue then, and my smile was so bright
The song of farewell is still ringing in my ears, I want to go back to that day
Today, I'm an adult now, I've a lover by my side
It's the same as when I was a child.
My father and my mother are growing old as if in a flash
My father and my mother are growing old as if in a flash
My father and my mother are growing old as if in a flash
