Wandering from North to South

Song & Lyrics/Singer: Xue Do

Our rally of working class is so grand, we head for cities to pursue our goals in life

We don’t care about dirt and tiredness, working day and night

We take this city as if it were the farm in my motherland

Though we possess nothing

We have to explore this adventurous world

No matter how much pain and sorrows we suffer

This is the major source of power in our songs

Hei Ai Ei Wo Ai Gai

In extreme fatigue, take a break

Drink a bowl of wine from other working brothers

I miss my family so much

Hei Ai Ei Wo Ai Gai

Drifting from south to North incessantly

Meeting somebody in the midst of life, you can see

How brave and firm we’re to lead our own life,

As strong as the grand mountain and the flowing river

Hei Ai Ei Wo Ai Gai

Meeting somebody in the midst of life,

Shouted loudly, “Hi, how’re you, my Laoxiang?”

“Fine!”

Listening to this Echo

How brave and firm we’re to lead our own life,

As strong as the grand mountain and the flowing river
