Song for the Rural Migrant Workers

Words by Wang Xiaoling
Music by Yin Qing
Leading Singer: Wang Baoqiang
Performed by The Rural Migrant Workers’ Art Troupe of Chongqing
Representatives of the Rural Migrant Workers

Grime on my clothes, sweat on my face / I come to the city in pursuit of a dream / Yesterday a farmer today I’m a worker / We’re the new masters of the city / Sisters and brothers throw out your chests / Undaunted by hardship and difficulty / Trusting our strength and trusting our future / Our lives will be just fine / We’re all homesick working away from our families / We do this for our parents and children / And also to build more skyscrapers / Let’s sing, sisters and brothers / With our sweat the neon lights will shine brighter / Trusting our strength and trusting our future / Our lives will be just fine
