(Content of Song)
“Our farmers are doing well
Pushing and pulling, let us weed in between the rice plants
Farmers don't get old
When you get old you can never be young again
The sun is setting upon the western mountains and we still have lots of work to do
The eastern wind blows, along with rain, and we can't help but sigh”
