Lyrics of Jinggangshan's "I have known for a long time"

Should I think of you laughing when I cry

You shouldn't think about your past when you regret

Because it's hard to distinguish between love and hate

Because it can't break away from the storm of the bitter sea

I shouldn't dream that you can accompany me when I'm lonely

I shouldn't expect you to help me when I fall

Because it's going to be sad forever

Because this will lose the pride of men

I have known that you are gradually indifferent

It's a precursor to my burial

But I dare not face the reality

Facing your cold knife

I have long understood my lingering prayer

Will be looked down upon by you forever

But I don't want to give up

Have a glimmer of hope for you

I shouldn't think of you laughing when I cry

You shouldn't think about your past when you regret

Because it's hard to distinguish between love and hate

Because it can't break away from the storm of the bitter sea

I shouldn't dream that you can accompany me when I'm lonely

I shouldn't expect you to help me when I fall

Because it's going to be sad forever

Because this will lose the pride of men

I have known that you are gradually indifferent

It's a precursor to my burial

But I dare not face the reality

Facing your cold knife

I have long understood my lingering prayer

Will be looked down upon by you forever

But I don't want to give up

Have a glimmer of hope for you

I have known that you are gradually indifferent

It's a precursor to my burial

But I dare not face the reality

Facing your cold knife

I have long understood my lingering prayer

Will be looked down upon by you forever

But I don't want to give up

Have a glimmer of hope for you
