I saw the clouds…wandering aimlessly in the sky I heard a teardrop in the midst of the raging sand Who does this desert belongs to?
I’ve forgotten who I am And who…turns this sky grey? I woke up on the black mountain, Lying next to the Yellow river…
The winds are howling to the north Where were the horses at the market in my homeland waiting for?
Under the leaded armor, You and me…. through thick and thin, Our hearts are shattering
I asked the heavens… what is black or white? How many drops of tears can one heart bury? How I’ve hung on because of my love? I’ll remember the beauty in this land and sky
The world …turns to dust in an instant
I want to drink the water from the well in my home But all I tasted was life and death Let me toast to my fond memories To say to myself…I won’t turn back
