红星闪闪，放光彩； 红星灿灿，暖胸怀。 红星是咱工农的心， 党的关怀照万代。 红星是咱工农的心， 党的光辉照万代。 长夜里，红星闪闪驱黑暗； 寒冬里，红星闪闪迎春来； 斗争中，红星闪闪指方向； 征途上，红星闪闪把路开。 红星闪闪，放光彩； 红星灿灿，暖胸怀。 跟着毛主席跟着党， 闪闪的红星传万代。 跟着毛主席跟着党， 闪闪的红星传万代。	hóng xīng shǎnshǎn，fàng guāngcǎi； hóng xīng càn càn，nuǎn xiōnghuái. hóng xīng shì zán gōng nóng de xīn， dǎng de guānhuái zhào wàn dài. hóng xīng shì zán gōng nóng de xīn， dǎng de guānghuī zhào wàn dài. cháng yèlǐ，hóng xīng shǎnshǎn qū hēi'àn； hán dōng lǐ，hóng xīng shǎnshǎn yíng chūn lái； dòuzhēng zhōng，hóng xīng shǎnshǎn zhǐ fāngxiàng； zhēng tú shàng，hóng xīng shǎnshǎn bǎ lù kāi. hóng xīng shǎnshǎn，fàngguāng cǎi； hóng xīng càn càn，nuǎn xiōnghuái. gēnzhe máo zhǔxí gēnzhe dǎng， shǎnshǎn de hóng xīng chuán wàn dài. gēnzhe máo zhǔxí gēnzhe dǎng， shǎnshǎn de hóng xīng chuán wàn dài.
