Lyrics of Populus euphratica in desert by Peng Gaoping

Populus euphratica

Who says green desert has no spring

My uniform is the scenery of spring

Who said the desert is not decorated with flowers

My smile is the blooming of flowers

I dance strong in the snow

I sing hope in the wind and rain

Stand up and break through the desolation

This is my brave soldier

Populus euphratica Stands in the desert

Who said there is no rain and dew in the desert

My sweat is the fragrance of rain

Who said there is no city noise in the desert

My dream is the glory of the city

I live on the frontier in the scorching sun

I dream of my hometown on a moonlit night

Deep rooted and boundless

This is my iron warrior

Populus euphratica in the desert

I pour into the frontier in the scorching sun

I dream of my hometown on a moonlit night

Deep rooted in the vast western regions

This is my iron warrior

Populus euphratica in the desert
