The pendulum strikes the strings of the New Year
Playing and singing in full swing over the past year
Sunjiacha’s market is decorated with lanterns
The peace and prosperity of the country and the people decorate the town
The miners left behind in Longhua Coal Mine
Guarding the peace of the mine at the end of the year and the beginning of the year
Though accumulated experience and thin hair, dressed up with brilliance
Like a silent Jurassic forest
The moment when the bell rings
Fireworks all over the sky
Blooming with colors
Echoes Ripples
In the rolling mountains
In the endless rock alley
In the minds of miners working day and night
Some people stay in the coal mines
Companionship with the mine day and night
Some people return to their hometowns
Get together with family
A year of reunion
It’s a celebration and a farewell
A new reunion and convergence
Start towards the future
We gather in the mine
Shearers and tunnel boring machines rumble
The belt sings the praises of the New Year
The singing spreads to thousands of households
Warming the prosperous years of thousands of families
