只要我们一个村庄，

受到

突然的包围，

老婆子呀，

小伙子呀，

统统扑过去，

（横竖是死）

就是死吧，

尸首还在家乡，

像活着一样地歌唱！



Defense

Tian Jian

Whenever one of our villages

suffers from sudden encirclement,

old women,

young children

rush to do their bit together,

fighting back,

knowing that death faces them;

if we die now,

our bodies

will remain in our own village,

still singing, as if we lived.
