巍巍昆仑山下，汩汩江河源头
Under the majestic Kunlun Mountain where the river bubbles from its source
我背着小书包，穿过麦田又翻过铁路
I carried my little schoolbag through the wheat fields and over the railroad
听妈妈的歌
Listening to my mother’s song
吃她做的菜
Eating her cooking
是我岁月里最幸福的时光
It was the happiest time of my life
平凡而又伟大的人啊
You, ordinary but great people
该如何怀念您
How should I miss you?
您教我
You taught me
做正直善良的人，我做到了
To be a decent and kind person, and I did
做热爱生活的人，我也做到了
To be a person who loves life, and I did too
做感谢祖国的人，我还是做到了
To be a person who thanks the country, I still did
做知恩图报的人，可您却不在了
To be a person who knows how to repay kindness, but you are gone
