A hoe against the cave-house wall, bread by the stove and red chillies at the door place home inside a family's work.

Distance need not erase the ground that raised you.

Mandarin northwestern-folk direction · 6/8 · banhu, sanxian and female alto

The words move from a wide loess landscape into the stove, courtyard and a father's cracked, calloused hands. A river rounds the cliffs; someone returns with new wheat for the table. Being held names both terrain and gratitude, without inventing the author's birthplace.

The northwestern-folk direction uses a grounded 6/8 pulse, banhu and bowed-string replies, sanxian, acoustic guitar and hand drum around an open-throated female alto. A communal-response refrain opens private longing outward. The site's restored complete audio remains available beside this exact Suno source.

Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] 风把土坡吹成一道黄 你把旧锄头靠在窑墙 娘在灶边烙着薄薄的饼 远处羊群慢慢过山梁 [Chorus] 哎,黄土高坡,托住我的家 一条黄河绕过几道崖 走得再远,心里有句话 泥土养我,我还念着它 [Verse 2] 雨落下来,沟里涨了水 爹的手掌裂开又结茧 院门上那串晒干的辣椒 红得像你出门时的脸 [Chorus] 哎,黄土高坡,托住我的家 一条黄河绕过几道崖 走得再远,心里有句话 泥土养我,我还念着它 [Bridge] 若你听见风过窗棂 那是我又走回村口 把一把新麦放在桌上 听你笑着叫我坐 [Final Chorus] 哎,黄土高坡,托住我的家 一条黄河绕过几道崖 走得再远,心里有句话 泥土养我,我还念着它 [Outro] 泥土养我,我还念着它
