HSK Practice - Red Sun in the Sky

This is a fun, yet useful, quiz that can help you improve your Chinese! From the popular Cultural Revolution song "Red Sun in the Sky", can you translate from English into Pinyin the revolutionary lyrics that made this song so catchy?

I used an abridged version of this song for simplicity.

Translations are very figurative, but please comment some advice if you think something is translated completely incorrectly.
