On my face, you couldn't see my eyes clearly
My face was as black as my eyes
Every day I was in the deep, gloomy alleyway
Coal is dug for China that can shine and shine
I dig for coal
Beg for a living in the lowest altitude post
Coal nourished me and took me flesh and blood
Buried forever
At that moment, the gas exploded and the stone broke the earth
At that moment, I knew I would never see the sun again
Those panicked footsteps, frightened faces, desperate cries
My co-workers, co-workers whose faces are blackened by coal like mine
---------------------------------
All escape exits like the gates of Yama's palace were slammed shut
This is the hell of despair, the abyss of despair
Waves of carbon monoxide struck
Many suffocated in pain and fell weakly
The old mother staggered, and the wife and children cried helplessly
Never see again, never hear again
- This dark stratum is too deep and too deep
People on the ground, people in the sun
You will never know
One by one, living beings struggled fiercely in the abyss
My breathing became more and more rapid
My eyes were blurred
I could still faintly see those twisted bodies and foaming lips
Death's wings flew over my head
I will die like them in the depths of this coal seam
Farewell, Mother! Farewell, wife and children!
When my body was lifted out of the alleyway
Please wash my face with water
Let my eyes be black and my face white
Let the sun soothe me, and the breeze send me off,
I,—an ordinary miner
Once struggled to hold this lowest altitude post
I dug for coal and was eventually buried by it
I'm not the first, and I won't be the last
But how I wish —
I was the last to die in a mining accident!
Let the sun shine forever on my companions,
They deserve dignity and happiness!
