Song of Educated Youth —— From Beijing to Yan 'an
From Beijing to Yan 'an,
How long is the journey?
Say goodbye to my hometown.
Say goodbye to your parents
Who knows my tonight?
Looking at the high clouds.
Looking at the water flowing eastward
I want the river to send a letter home.
Suffering comes back to my heart.
A day is like a year.
Endless barren hills
Seventy-three narrow paths
Pick a burden.
Get up in the middle of the night, can't sleep in the middle of the night.
No food, no vegetables, no oil, no salt.
Life is more miserable.
I dreamed again last night.
Mom sits next to me.
Gently stroking the smiling face of the child.
Tears spilled on my chest.
How strong the children used to be.
Now I am pitifully thin.
Open your eyes and I'll look carefully.
It turned out to be another dream meeting.
Mid-Autumn Festival is full moon.
I am looking forward to going home.
Little sister, you and I are thousands of miles apart.
Never meet again
Little sister, you and I are the same.
If you are sad, do your work.
There is always a dark cloud.
There is always an end to suffering.
Happy days beckon to us.
It must be realized.
Happy days beckon to us.
Be sure to reunite
