Wind sweeps the old courtyard hall
moon shines on the wanderer’s call

Heart Towards the East
Prelude 序
Wind stirs;beyond the rails bamboo sways
shaking off moonlight from bygone days
Wild geese fly past tracing clouds above—
a line of unopened hometown love
Verse 1
Wind sweeps the old courtyard walls
thirty years’frost on bricks cold and tall
Moonlight falls on the wanderer’s return
dialects heavy in the bag he turns
One thought awakes the hills and streams
ten thousand miles of smoke fill his dreams
The endless road unfolds ahead
frost on his robe yet warm his heart is fed
Verse 2
Familiar voices fill his ear
Grandma’s tea-picking song lingers near
Hometown scenes unfold in sight
stone bridge curved like a silver moon bright
Years cannot wash the purity away
clear as spring streams at break of day
Though stranded far at earth’s far end
his soul clings to roots that deeper descend
Chorus
A loyal heart sincere and true
lamps glow bright with the North Star’s hue
A patriot’s soul deep and strong
needs not carved words to last long
Nostalgia lingers sweet and mild
like malt sugar lingering on the child
On this long journey step by step
I turn my heart toward the East kept
Chorus
One surge of blood runs warm and bold
awakens hills like spring thunder rolled
I live this life with purpose clear
footprints stitched into a starry sphere
Mountains and rivers fill my dream
rice waves roll high walls gleam
My country stays within my chest
my heartbeat echoes like a bronze bell’s rest
Bridge
A thousand sails have passed and gone
oar sounds settle as ink in stone
My original heart remains pure and bright
reflecting the youth’s clear light
This life I give to hills and land
not as an oath but breath’s demand
Though seas turn fields and time takes flight
affection lives in bronze’s ancient light
Outro
Bell chimes fade into the distant haze
mountains and rivers hold their quiet grace
Mountains and Rivers in Dreams
Verse 1
Wind sweeps the old courtyard hall
moon shines on the wanderer’s call
One thought awakes the hills and streams
all distant lands tie to my dreams
The road ahead stretches far and long
frost and snow mark where I belong
A light burns steady in my chest
guiding me toward the dawn’s soft rest
Pre-Chorus
I speak not of ambition loud
yet mountains and roots I hold proud
No matter how far my soul may roam
my heart returns to my native home
Chorus
A loyal heart sincere and true
a patriot’s soul deep and new
Nostalgia flows in every vein
on this long journey I remain
My blood runs warm my will stands strong
I live this life where I belong
Mountains and rivers fill my dream
my country lives in every scheme
Verse 2
Familiar voices fill my ear
hometown scenes forever near
Years cannot take the purity away
the innocence of my first day
Though far apart from my native place
my soul clings to its ancient grace
Silent I keep this love inside
deep and true no need to hide
Pre-Chorus 2
Wind and rain wash my soul clean
time reveals the heart’s true sheen
Though the road lies long and wide
the path home shines side by side
Chorus
A loyal heart sincere and true
a patriot’s soul deep and new
Nostalgia flow
