Lyrics of Gao Yongmei's "I offer youth for communism"

From spring silkworm to dead silk

Keep others warm

Honey of flowers brewed by bees

Only wish the world sweet

A red heart loyal to the party

Never be afraid of fire on the journey

Seeking liberation for the working masses

Broken heart

Seeking liberation for the working masses

Broken heart

Willing to break up for revolution

ah

Who doesn't want China to shine with the new sun and moon

Who doesn't love the beautiful scenery of China

For the sake of the east wind

In the face of a thousand difficulties and dangers

Is for the liberation of the motherland red sunshine earth

I'd like to dye the mountains with my blood

Break the chains of your old world slavery

For future generations in exchange for that happy tomorrow

I live for my country

I'm the head of the revolution

I contribute my youth to communism

Don't cherish wealth

Don't yearn for peace and warmth

Strong and unyielding, poor and humble

Indomitable and ambitious

Willing to go through fire and water

Let life and death be idle

Fight for revolution all one's life

Not hard but sweet

Only sweet
