Appreciation of the lyrics of "The ditty is easy to sing but hard to sing"

Put the disc in hand and bang it

The ditty is easy to sing but hard to sing

Singing with loud voices cannot exhaust the sufferings of the world

Mr. Boss is happy to hear it

The moon bends and shines on the tall building

The tall building was originally built by the poor

The north wind blows in the twelfth lunar month of winter

The rich laugh and the poor are sad

Taking a plate in hand and banging it

It’s hard to sing a small song but hard to sing

Singing loudly cannot exhaust the sufferings of the world

Mr. Boss listened happily

The moon crescents shine on the tall building

The tall building was originally built by the poor

The rich laugh and the poor are sad
