Lyrics of Qu Hui's variations of Osmanthus blossoming everywhere in August

Osmanthus blooming in August

The bright red flag is up and up

The lights are colorful

The lights are colorful

Shining out of the new world

La la la la la la la

Standing at the forefront of the revolution

Don't be afraid of sacrifice, rush forward

For the new regime

For the new regime

Workers and peasants are now in charge

Dear workers

Dear farmers

Today is the day of our liberation

Leading the masses

Out of hell

No more devastation

No more devastation

The feudal system will be completely overthrown

Dear workers

Dear farmers

Feudal system must be overthrown

Osmanthus blooming in August

Red flag up, up

The lights are colorful

The lights are colorful

Shining out of the new world

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

A red flag is flying in the air

The Red Army should be expanded

Defending the new regime of workers and peasants

Leading the masses to make revolution

Red Army soldiers are the most glorious

Dear workers

Dear farmers

Take up the sword and gun to be the Red Army

La la la la la la la

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Take up the sword and gun to be the Red Army
