It’s a children’s song for babies to sing and learn from the ancient poem "Every Grain Is Hard Work"
Lyricist: Li Shen Composer: Meng Qinghua, Lyrics: It’s noon on the day of hoeing...yo... ., Sweat dripping from the soil under the grass, oh...yo...
Who knew the meal on the plate, oh...yo..., every grain of it is hard work, oh...yo..., < /p>
It’s noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drips from the soil. Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate has been worked hard, and it’s noon on the day of hoeing. Oh...
Sweat drips from the soil under the crops, oh... oh... Who knows the food on the plate... oh... every grain of it is hard work... oh... it's noon on the day of hoeing... oh... oh... .... The soil is dripping with sweat, oh... oh... Who knows the food on the plate... oh... every grain of it is hard work... oh... It's noon on the day of hoeing, and I'm sweating Drops of grain fall into the soil, but everyone knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work. It's noon on the day of hoeing, oh... oh... the sweat drips from the soil, oh... oh... who knows what's on the plate, oh... oh... every grain of it is hard work... oh... ....Every grain of it is hard work, who would have thought that the meal on the plate is alas...oh...every grain of it is hard work...oh...every grain of it is hard work.
This song comes from one of the poems "Compassion for the Farmers" by Li Shen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
Full poem: It’s noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work.
Translation: Farmers are hoeing under the scorching sun at noon, and sweat drips from their bodies on the land where the seedlings grow. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate was earned by farmers through hard work?
