The flowers on the roadside are blooming, and the fruits on the trees are waiting for someone to pick them.
The flowers on the roadside are blooming, and the fruits on the trees are waiting for someone to pick them.
Well, well, well, distant guests, please stay.
Guests from afar, please stay, alas, alas, alas, alas.
Cello, cello, alas, distant guests please stay.
Guests from afar, please stay, alas, alas, alas, alas.
Full ears of grain rippled in the wind, expecting people to harvest.
Well, well, well, distant guests, please stay.
Guests from afar, please stay, alas, alas, alas, alas.
Cello, cello, alas, distant guests please stay.
Guests from afar, please stay, alas, alas, alas, alas.
The girls are chasing the Aries and stepping on the sunset glow. They'll come back for it.
Well, well, well, distant guests, please stay.
Cello, cello, alas, alas, distant guests please stay.
Guests from afar, please stay, alas, alas, alas, alas.
Sing about the harvest time and the prosperous motherland.
We will sing happiness to our heart's content. Guests from afar please stay.
Cello, cello, alas, alas, distant guests please stay.
Guests from afar, please stay, alas, alas, alas, alas.
Alas, alas, alas, alas, in cello class, alas, in cello class, alas.
Guests from afar please stay, guests from afar please stay.
Alas, alas, alas, alas, singing the harvest time.
Singing about the prosperous motherland, we should enjoy singing about happiness.

Creative background:
1953, Fan Yu, a famous poet, wrote the song "Guests from afar please stay", saying that "the flowers on the roadside are blooming and the fruits on the trees are waiting to be picked. Guests coming from afar, please stay. Old Ghost Mountain welcomes you in the mountains. Full ears of grain fluttered with the wind, expecting people's harvest. Guests coming from afar, please stay. This is our hope of helping each other.
"Guests from afar, please stay" was sung all over the country and won a lot of praise. Premier Zhou Enlai was very happy after listening to this piece of music, and instructed to put it in the Great Hall of the People as a welcome song.
1957 In July, this song won the gold medal in the International Music Competition of the 6th World Youth and Student Music Festival held in Moscow. In order to meet the needs of singing in various places and facilitate publication, Fan Yu spent a dime sitting in the teahouse near Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace in Beijing, filling in Chinese words while drinking tea, and made a major revision to the third paragraph. This song was first published in Song magazine and officially sung in the society.
