Le Chant de l'Espérance
Language: French (Français) after the Chinese (中文)
Sous l'empire, parmi les villes et cités Nulle part n 'existe un endroit sans armes ni armures ! Puissent-elles se fondre en pelles et píoches, Plus un seul pouce de terre ne reste inculte Les buffles travaillent de toute leur force Les vers à soie tissent leur soie. Nul besoin au soldat de verser des larmes, Ainsi laboure l'homme, ainsi tisse la femme Dans le chant et dans la joie.
