Song: "Xinjiang is Good"
Lyrics: Ma Hanbing
Composer: Liu Chieh
Sung by Kerimu
We are in a good place in Xinjiang, good pastures north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
The sandy beaches of the Gobi have been transformed into good fields, and the snow has melted to fill up the farms
The sandy beaches of the Gobi have been transformed into good fields, and the snow has melted to fill up the farms
Come here, come here. Come, come, come, our beautiful Xinjiang
Our lovely hometown, play your dongbula ah
Dance and sing, the people of all ethnic groups are united
Sing the praises of leader Mao Tse-tung, the people of all ethnic groups are united
Sing the praises of leader Mao Tse-tung, come come come come come
Our beautiful Xinjiang, our lovely hometown
The Gobi beaches are turned into good fields, the snow melts and irrigates farms. Our beautiful Xinjiang, our lovely hometown
