Lyrics of "Fresh Flowers in May"
Fresh flowers in May bloom all over the field
Fresh flowers cover the blood of the volunteers
In order to save the dying nation
They fought tenaciously
They fought without stopping
Today, the northeast of the country has already been in decline for four years
We have been suffering day by day
We have been suffering in pain
We have been suffering in pain
These are the most important things for us. are in agony every day
Lost our freedom and even our jobs
Humiliatedly enduring the merciless whip
The enemy's iron hooves have crossed the Great Wall
The Central Plains are still peaceful and peaceful
Kind and friendly neighbors are surrendering
Forgotten about the country and even more so, forgotten us
Cannot hold back this full of resentment any longer
We are looking forward to the roar
The roar roused the unfortunate group of
oppressed people to swing their fists
