Lyrics:
Flower baskets of flowers are fragrant, listen to me sing a song
Singing, singing, came to Nanniwan
Nanniwan is a good place, a good place
Good place to good scenery, good place to good scenery
Everywhere is the crops everywhere are cows and sheep, in the past years of the Nanniwan
Everywhere is the good place, good place
Nanniwan
There is the good place, the good place, the good place.
Everywhere is a barren mountain, no ah people
Today's Nanniwan, with the past years is not general
Not ah general, such as ah today's Nanniwan
With ah past years is not general, and is not the old model
It is the north of the Shaanxi Province, a good Jiangnan, a good Jiangnan in Shaanxi Province
Flowers bloomed all over the mountains, bloomed ah all over the mountains
Learn the Nanniwan, a good place to live. Everywhere is Jiangnan
Yes, Jiangnan, learning and producing
The 359th Brigade is a model, let's go to the front
Flowers for the model, let's go to the front
Flowers for the model
Composition background:
In 1943, the rice-planting song team of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts intended to go to the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army at Nanniwan in Yan'an to pay tribute to the Eighth Route Army, the compilation team had a lot of thoughts about it. After a lot of hard thinking, the staff finally came up with a rice-planting dance called "Picking Flower Baskets", in which eight actresses pick eight pairs of flower baskets and perform on stage with an interlude song.
Lyricist He Jingzhi received the task of creating lyrics for the song, combined with his own deep knowledge and experience of the military and civilian production movement in the border areas, especially the 359th Brigade's reclamation of Nanniwan, and wrote the lyrics for the song in one go. Afterwards, the composer Ma Ke used the tune of the northern Shaanxi folk song to compose the music for the interlude. This episode was later named "Nanniwan".
