Lyrics

You carry the burden and I hold the horse;

Welcome the sunrise and bid farewell to the sunset.

Smooth out the bumps and become a great road,

After fighting the difficulties and dangers, we set out again and again.

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,

Spring, autumn, winter and summer,

Sours, sweets and bitters;

The road is at your feet.

You carry the burden and I hold the horse;

Crossing mountains and wading through rivers, there are frost flowers on both shoulders.

The wind, clouds, thunder and lightning are all powerful,

All the way to the end of the world, singing to the end of the world.

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,

Spring, autumn, winter and summer,

Sours, sweets and bitters;

The road is at your feet.

May I ask where the road is?

The road is at your feet.
