River Whispers

I’m the clear stream that runs through Jiangnan
Through old lanes where jasmine blooms again
Weaved into silk with every stitch and thread
By the curved bridge for misty rain I wait
New shores rise where concrete takes its place
But I still keep the soft Wu dialect’s grace
Ink-washed days flow on the rippling tide
Down Wukang Road with coffee scent implied
A thousand years of grace meets modern glass
Chasing new dawn while old moonlight lasts
Ink-washed days flow on the rippling tide
Disney fireworks rest in my quiet breast
Zhujiajiao boats ripple stars to rest
Young voices sing me in a modern way
When magnolias bloom softness fills the day
Ink-washed days flow on the rippling tide
Down Wukang Road with coffee scent implied
A thousand years of grace meets modern glass
Chasing new dawn while old moonlight lasts
Ink-washed days flow on the rippling tide
I’m not a stream that clings to bygone days
Shanghai’s soul blends all tides in its ways
Ancient roots grow into modern green
Harmony and blend that’s my true scene
Ink-washed days flow on the rippling tide
Down Wukang Road with coffee scent implied
A thousand years of grace meets modern glass
Chasing new dawn while old moonlight lasts
Ink-washed days flow on the rippling tide
Waves roll on culture never fades
Jiangnan’s soul stays through all the days
