红旗下的蛋 (Balls Under The Red Flag) Lyrics by 崔健 (Cui Jian)

红旗下的蛋 (Balls Under The Red Flag)

1994

突然的开放
实际并不突然
现在机会到了
可谁知道该干什么
红旗继续飘扬
没有固定方向
革命还在继续
老头儿更有力量
钱在空中飘荡
我们没有理想
虽然空气新鲜
可看不见更远地方
虽然机会到了
可胆量还是太小
我们的个性都是圆的
象红旗下的蛋
头突然出来
是多年的期待
挺胸抬头叫喊
是天生的遗传
心里当然明白
我们是谁的后代
无论行为好坏
内心还是清白
权力在空中飘荡
经常打在肩上
突然一个念头
不再跟着别人乱走
虽然身体还软
虽然只会叫喊
看那八、九点钟的太阳
象红旗下的蛋
肚子已经吃饱了
脑子也想开了
别说这是恩情
永远报答不尽
我们不再是棋子儿
走着别人划的印儿
自己想试着站站
走起来四处看看
现实象石头
精神象个蛋
石头虽然坚硬
蛋才是生命
妈妈仍然活着
爸爸是旗杆子
若问我们是什么
红旗下的蛋
(English Translation)
Suddenly the door opens
But actually not so sudden
The time has come
But who knows what to do?
The red flag's still aflutter
But there's no fixed direction
The revolution still continues
The old men have still more power
Money flutters in the air
We have no ideals
Although the air is clear
We can't see any further
Although our chance has come
We don't have the guts for it
Our personalities are all rounded
Like balls under the red flag
The head suddenly comes out
It's the hope of many years
Standing tall, chests thrust out, shouting
It's a natural inheritance
Of course we understand inside
Whose descendants we are
No matter if our behavior is good or bad
Deep inside we still know we're pure
Authority fluttering in the air
Often gusts over my shoulder
Suddenly there's an idea
Don't follow others blindly
Although the body's weak
Although it can only yell
Look at the eight to nine o'clock sun
Like balls under the red flag
My stomach is full now
My brain is clear now too
But don't say this is a great favor
It can never be repaid
We are no longer pawns in a chess game
Following lines drawn by others
We try standing up ourselves
Get moving and take a look at everything
Reality is like a stone
Spirit is like an egg
Although stones are hard
Eggs are life
Mother is still alive
Father is a flagpole
If you ask us who we are
We are balls under the red flag
