就在马背上疯吧

追逐自由的风沙

从此不必再害怕

不做无望的挣扎

Hmmm I've thought about the meaning of htis song for a very long time.

Why is it called Yeye?

Thanks

this is the translation about why the rock singer Xie Tian Xiao named this song Grandpa

"My Lao Ye (grandpa from mother's family) used to sing Beijing Opera, but this song doesn't have much to do with him. My Ye Ye (grandpa from father's family) joined the anti-japaness war when he was only a boy about 18 or 19 years old. So i take this as a starting point, wrote this song, something to do with Anti-fascist i suppose."

the whole articale in Chinese can be found at

“我的姥爷是唱京剧的，但这首歌跟他没太大关系。我爷爷十八九岁参加了抗日战争，我就以这个事情为基点，写了这首歌。有点反法西斯的意思。"
