Song of Sweat 卖力气歌
叫我唱歌我不会,I know nothing about singing,
我识字少水平低。And little character I can recognize.
我才七岁去帮人,I became a farmhand at the seven,
天色刚亮去捡粪。and had to pick up cattle’s waste at dawn.
背粪回来去放牛,went to herd the cattle then,
天黑赶牛回到家。Drive them to the landlord’s home at nightfall.
牛饱筐满得进家,Only when the cattle and the waste’s basket are full, can I
丫鬟盛饭给我吃。permit entering the house and getting rice from the maid. 有天牛未饱筐未满,Once come back with unfull cattle and basket, 我也不得进家门。 No entering the house can I expect.
我不分冷天还是热天,Whether it hot or cold,
帮人家守在篱笆脚。 I lived beside the fence.
脚上裂口开到脚腿肚,The chaps on my feet find their way to center of my sole, 手上裂口开到手肘。the chaps on my feet find their way till the elbow. 做着做着解放来, Then comes the liberation,
我们穷人得翻身。 which enables the poor of us to stand on our feet.
