Here are the lyrics to a song that was sung by the students and demonstrators at Tiananmen Square in 1989. It's sung by the Solidarity Choir (Sydney) and is recorded on their first CD.

Xue Ran Di Feng Tsai

Ye shu wo gao bie, jiang bu zai hui lai.
Ni shih fou li jie, ni shih fou ming bai.
Ye shu wo dao xia, jiang bu zai chi lai.
Ni shi fou hai yao yung jiu di chi dai.
Lu guo shi juh yang ni bu yao bei ai,
Gung he guo di chi juh shang you
Women xue ran di feng tsai.

Ye shu ni di yan jing zai bu neng zheng kai.
Wo shen shen li jie ni chen mo di ching huai.
Ye shu ni dao xia, zai bu nung shing lai.
Wo yi ding shiangshin ni hua tsu liao shan mai.
Lu guo shi juh yang wo bu hui bei ai.
Yin wei women di tu rang li
You ni fu chu di ai.

Translation:

This may be farewell forever. I might never return. I hope you understand why it is that I've gone. Maybe I'll fall in the struggle, never to rise again. I wonder whether you'll still want to wait for me, without end. If it should turn out that way please feel no lingering sorrow. For the wind that our blood has stained scarlet will unfurl the Republic's flag tomorrow.

Yes, it may happen that finally your eyes will forever be closed. I know the sincere and unspoken feelings your honesty chose. And if you fall in the struggle, in earth you'll forever repose but, like the mountains, to me you will shine with the radiance of snow. If it should turn out that way I will try not to grieve. For the very earth that we stand on is filled with the love that you gave.
