Shu Brocade Sails Abroad Again
成都市城市主题宣传曲系列作品
作词：东山居士(Easthill Hermit)&泽希(Zesen)
混音：东山居士(Easthill Hermit)
Grandpa’s hands have worked since old Republican days
Seventy-two processes he knows them all always
He says: “Silk is like Chengdu’s rain soft and fine
Threads like Dujiangyan’s current smooth in line ”
The old Qing loom still hums its ancient song
Like a heartbeat like breathing our forefathers’throng
He teaches me: one thread for heaven one for earth
Three thousand years woven in from our very birth
Shu brocade Shu brocade sailing out once more
One shuttle crosses oceans to the distant shore
From Jinsha to Phoenix far across the tide
Let the world behold Chengdu’s glory and pride
This year news came from Phoenix far away
Our Shu brocade drew crowds on exhibition day
A blonde girl touched it gently and would not depart
She said: “It feels like memory woven by the sun’s warm heart ”
She asked: “Does your Sunbird still fly high and free”
I said: “Listen —three thousand years echo in the breeze ”
She knew no Chinese but her eyes began to shine
Beauty needs no words to cross the borderline
Shu brocade Shu brocade sailing out once more
One shuttle crosses oceans to the distant shore
From Chengdu to the world far across the tide
Let the world feel the love of the East inside
Three Kingdoms’fields still live
Tang ink lingers still
Seventy-two threads of warp and weft
Passed abroad from hand to heft
Shu brocade Shu brocade forever shall remain
One thread links the ancient to the modern day
No matter how far we roam our roots are in Chengdu’s soil
Let the world know: this is Shu brocade
