"Where we are needed, we
stay there,
tent by tent,
home for our activities ...
Changing a construction site,
moving once,
taking away desolation,
leaving behind prosperity."
On the Field of Hope Guang Xiao
Our hometown is on the field of hope
Cooking smoke is floating on the newly-built houses
A piece of winter wheat (that) and a piece of sorghum
A ten-mile (yo) lotus pond with a ten-mile fruity smell
Ah, cough, yo, baby, baby, baby, yo
. We have lived in this field for generations
to be rich for her, to prosper for her
Our ideal is in the field of hope
The seedlings are heading in the sweat of farmers
Cattle and sheep are growing in the flute of shepherds
Spinning flowers in the west village (that) and casting nets in Donggang
Seeding in northern Xinjiang (yo) and playing in the south
Ahem, yo, yeah, yeah. We have been working in this field for generations
dressing up for her
Our future is in the field of hope
People live in bright sunshine
Life is different in people's labor
Old people raise their glasses (that) children laugh
Boys (yo) play the piano and girls sing
Ahem, yo, baby, baby, baby.
