Lyrics

Simplified Chinese

也许我告别 将不再回来，你是否理解？你是否明白？
也许我倒下 将不再起来，你是否还要永久地期待？
如果是这样 你不要悲哀 共和国的旗帜上有我们血染的风采。
如果是这样 你不要悲哀 共和国的旗帜上有我们血染的风采。

也许我的眼睛 再不能张开，你是否理解我沉默的情怀？
也许我长眠 再不能醒来，你是否相信我化作了山脉？
如果是这样 你不要悲哀，共和国的土壤里有我们付出的爱。
如果是这样 你不要悲哀，共和国的土壤里有我们付出的爱。

如果是这样 你不要悲哀 共和国的旗帜上有我们血染的风采。
如果是这样 你不要悲哀 共和国的旗帜上有我们血染的风采。血染的风采。
