Lyrics: Zhang Zhe Guo Fu, composed by? Luo
Brother, it's hard for me to be with you, little sister. I'll take that brother by the hand and walk him to the door.
Brother, when you leave the village, little sister, I have a message for you. There are many people walking on the road, which relieves your worries.
Holding my brother's sleeve tightly, tears flowed in my stomach.
I only hate my sister. I can't go with you. I just wish my brother would come home early.
Brother, you go west, little sister. My heart is bitter. How long will this trip take?
I hope you turn white, too, and hold on to your brother's sleeve.
Tears flow in your stomach, even if there are a thousand words, it is hard to call you back.
I just want my brother to go home early. I have something to say to my little sister when you leave the village.
Walking at the intersection, many people came to relieve their worries and pulled my brother's sleeve tightly.
Tears flow in your stomach, even if there are a thousand words, it is hard to call you back.
I only hope that my brother will go home early, and I only hope that you will go home early.
