Song: 家在山那邊 (jiā zài shān nà biān)

家在山那边

我的家在山的那一边
那里有茂密的森林
那儿有无边的草原
春天播种稻麦的种子
秋天收割等待着新年
张大叔从不发愁
李大婶永远乐观

自从窑洞里钻出狸鼠
一切都改变了
它就是那深埋了的苦果
侵毒了人心的良善

我的家在山的那一边
张大叔失去了欢乐
李大婶收藏了笑颜
鸟儿飞出温暖的窝巢
春天变成寒冷的冬天
亲友们失去了自由
抛弃了美丽的家园

朋友不要贪一时欢乐
朋友不要贪一时苟安
要尽快的回去
把民主的火把点燃
不要忘了我们生长的地方
是在山的那一边　山的那一边

Home Beyond the Mountain

My home is beyond the mountain,
There are luxurious forests,
There are boundless grassland.
Sowing seeds of rice and wheat in spring,
Harvesting in autumn for new year,
Uncle Zhang was never sad,
Auntie Li was always optimistic.

Once the Rats raged out from the Cave,
Everything did change.
It was the deeply buried venom
That poisoned people’s conscience.

My home is beyond the mountain;
Uncle Zhang lost his joy,
Auntie Li hid her smile.
Birds flew away from the warm nest,
The spring turned so cold as winter.
Kin and friends lost freedom,
Left the sweet sweet home.

Friend, don’t be greedy for temporary joy,
Friend, don’t be content with ephemeral peace.
Go back home as soon as possible,
To light the torch of democracy;
Don’t forget where we were born and raised;
It is beyond the mountain, beyond the mountain
