Pourquoi le ciel est-il si bleu? Le soleil rouge se lève toujours à l'est...

   Sky, Why So Blue and Clear?

Ah, sky of our motherland,

     Why so blue and clear?

  Because the golden sun

    Has scattered the clouds.

Ah, flowers of our motherland,

    Why so sweet and luxuriant?

  Because the rain and dew

  Give them good nourishment.

Ah, heart of soldier,

    Why so jubilant?

because I am off to see Chairman Mao

And to discuss affairs of state with him.

Our great Party

Has struck of my chains;

I, once a poor cowherd,

Am entering the hall of the Tenth Party Congress.

Now, I have see Chairman Mao,

I am swimming in a sea of happiness;

Hurrah for the red sun risen in the east!

Hurrah for our motherland spreading her young wings!

Thousands on thousands of songs -

Which one shall I sing?

Thousands on thousands of flowers -

Which one shall Igive to the Party?

My heart is afire,

Our whole land resounds with singing.

Long live our great leader Chairman Mao!

Long live our great, glorious and correct Party!

Chai-Chia hsin, délégué du 10ème Congrès du Parti Communiste à Pékin du 24 au 28 août 1973.

On se souviendra que la Chine était en pleine Révolution Culturelle, ...et mourrait de faim...

Ah! la propagande...
