On this sunny 9th day of the 9th month
18 year old brother’s sitting by the river
The east wind makes the windmill turns
Smell nice the bean flowers
and fresh are the wheat seedlings
Windmill is singing an incessant song
Little brother, so quiet, what is wrong?
MUSIC*MUSIC*MUSIC
On this sunny 9th day of the 9th month
The 18 year old brother is thinking of the army
The windmill turns because of the east wind
The little brother ‘s heart is all on his girlfriend
If the wind sways the mill cannot turn
If I’m hesitating, how can I say a word?
On this sunny 9th day of the 9th month
18 year old brother thus speaks to Yinglian his girlfriend:
I am going, over mountains and across oceans
I am going, and won’t be back for years
I am going, through bayonets bushes and bullet rains
I am going, and won’t return till victory is ours
MUSIC*MUSIC*MUSIC
On this sunny 9th day of the 9th month
Little brother, listen to Yinglian your sweet heart:
I care not how far you will be away
I care not how long you will be away
As long as you keep your Yinglian in your heart
I wait for your return on your triumphant way
As long as you keep your Yinglian in your heart
I wait for your return on your triumphant way作者: xzhao2 时间: 2009-1-8 09:16 那首歌实在好听，副班长演得好，陶玉玲初出茅庐的样子。
