扎鲁特旗，
                                       你是我永生的记忆，
                                       直到我离开世界的那一天，
                                       也不会把你忘记。

                                       你是我的第二故乡，
                                       给了我泥土的气息，
                                       从此我有了一个信念，
                                       做人要对得起大地！

                                       你是我一生的老师，
                                       教我学会迎接风雨，
                                       伴我走过沟沟坎坎，
                                       鼓励着我去追寻心中的真理。

                                       你留下了我永远的眷恋，
                                       那是那段如歌如泣的岁月， 
                                       那是那些一生难忘的兄弟，
                                       还有那金子都换不来的情义。

                                       我记得那
                                       聆听过我们梦想的每一座山丘，
                                       浸泡过我们汗水的每一片田地，
                                       流淌过我们歌声的每一条小溪……

                                       我甚至怀念那
                                       乡亲们有点粗俗的玩笑，
                                       小队长难以接受的严厉，
                                       知青粮垛中发了霉的苞米……

                                       你的一切一切，
                                       都是我记忆中的颗颗珍珠，
                                       它璀璨的光辉，
                                       一直深藏在我的心底。

                                       尽管如今，
                                       我已不再有往日的激情，
                                       但一想到你，
                                       还是无法抑制澎湃的心绪。

                                       斗转星移，
                                       晨昏交替，
                                       你时时在我心头，
                                       几回到我梦里。

                                       扎鲁特旗，
                                       你是我永生的记忆，
                                       直到我离开世界的那一天，
                                       也不会把你忘记。
