Lyrics: Xiao Mo Xiao I carry that schoolbag on my back when I go to school. I am not afraid of the sun or the wind and rain. I am just afraid that the gentleman will scold me for being lazy and unlearned. I have no face to see my parents. Lang Li Grand. Lang Li Grand. I have no knowledge. Why, the little boy carries that schoolbag and goes to school not to be an official or to save face, but just to stand up as a poor man. Why not be bullied by others? Why not be a cow or a sheep? I am a little boy who makes cows and sheep. When I carry my schoolbag to school, I am not afraid of the sun or the wind and rain. I am just afraid that the gentleman will scold me for being lazy and unlearned. I have no face to see my parents. Oh, I don’t have the face to see my parents. I’m a kid. I carry that schoolbag and go to school not to be an official or to save face. I’m just for the poor to stand up. Not to be bullied. Why don’t I be a cow or a sheep? Lang is not bullied by others because he does not want to be a cow or a sheep
