The High Slopes of Loess
Lyrics: Chen Zhe?
Composed by Su Yue
My family lives on a high slope of loess? The wind is blowing from the slope?
Whether it's the northwest wind or the southeast wind, it's my song, my song
My family lives on a high slope of loess?
The sun passes over the slopes and shines on my arms in my kiln? And my cows follow me
No matter how many years have passed? My ancestors left me behind
Leaving me to sing as far as the eye can see? And the Yellow River by my side
My family lives on the high slopes of the loess? The winds of the seasons blow over the slope
Whether it's 800 years or 10,000 years? It's all my song
