The “Song of the Red Scarf” (红领巾之歌) is a Chinesepioneer movement song. The lyrics were written by Ye Ying, and the music was composed by Cheng Liang in 1950.
Our flag is as red as fire
Stars and torches point the way
The wind of peace blew the flag
Greet us to a happy life
Chorus:
We hold hands and we stand shoulder to shoulder
Brave forward, brave forward
Brave forward, brave forward
Move forward bravely
Happy songs resounded through the sky
The red scarf fluttered on the chest
The Communist Youth League leads us
Inherit the course of our father and brother's battle
Chorus
We are the children of New China
Study hard and love labor
Ready, ready, always ready
Be a pioneer in building the motherland
