Lyrics of Mayflower
In Yuan Ye in May, flowers are in full bloom.
Flowers mask the blood of people with lofty ideals.
In order to save this dying country
They fought a tenacious war of resistance.
Today's Northeast has been declining for four years.
We suffer in pain every day.
Losing freedom means losing your job.
Put up with the cruel whip with humiliation.
The enemy's iron hoof has crossed the Great Wall.
The land of Central Plains is still singing and dancing.
Good neighbors, humble surrender.
Forget this country, forget us.
I can't stand this hatred any longer.
We expect this roar.
The roar started this unfortunate group.
The oppressed shook their fists together.
