Kitchy musical scene from communist chinese film at the end of the cultural revolution.

WANTED: PLEASE HELP ME TRANSLATE THE LYRICS!

This is from Xiao Zi Bei, "The Younger Generation," a comedy about young people bringing about workplace change.

the movie is notable for its optimism. China was modernizing, the Cultural Revolution was over, people had enough to eat.

PLEASE POST LYRICS! I translated this back in the 80s but forgot most of my Chinese and can only recognize a few phrases.

Life, Life, so lovable, so lovable, like the fragrant and colorful buds in spring.

Tomorrow there will be flowers all over the land and today we water them with our sweat.

Youth, youth, so beautiful, so beautiful. Sometimes my heart is as passionate as the glowing clouds of dawn; at other times my heart is as peaceful as the ocean in the moonlight.
