Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

This energetic folk song celebrates the vital role of farmers in sustaining human life. It emphasizes that societal survival depends entirely on the hard work of farmers who toil in the mud to put food on everyone's plate. The lyrics take an imaginative and futuristic turn by envisioning a future where science enables agricultural cultivation beyond Earth—specifically in space, on the moon, and among stars—to feed the world and wipe out global hunger.
