混音:东山居士(Easthill Hermit)
The light of the jade cong shines for five thousand years
Liangzhu's ancient waterways still whisper the wisdom of our peers
Two causeways stretch across the lake —Bai and Su
Lines of poetry written in stone a governor's heart beating true
King Qian's arrow aimed at the roaring tide
Not without fear —but behind him a million fires burned bright
"Seek not the gain that serves yourself alone"
"Seek the gain that serves the world"—this is the seed we've sown
A thousand years of legacy one single thread
Southeast stronghold where three Wu counties met
Prosperity since ancient times —today we rise
One river one city a tide that never dies
Prosperity since ancient times —today we rise
Poetry written on Hangzhou's soil roots reaching for the skies
The feast upon West Lake —the whole world saw the scene
"Most Memorable Is Hangzhou"
—the warmest place there's ever been
The Great Lotus blooms beside the Qiantang shore
Heart to Heart at the Future —opening every door
From Liangzhu's jade to the Asian Games' flame
Five thousand years of light —still burning just the same
A major economy bears the weight upon its chest
A provincial capital leads —above all the rest
A thousand years of legacy one single thread
At Qiantang's tide Hangzhou rises ahead
Prosperity since ancient times —today we rise
One river one city a tide that never dies
Prosperity since ancient times —today we rise
Poetry written on Hangzhou's soil roots reaching for the skies
The Qiantang tide —it never breaks its vow
Generation by generation —this is our vow
Not without storms
But we dare to ride the crest
From Bai Juyi to Su Dongpo's quest
From King Qian to the hearts in our chest
This city teaches every soul who comes to stay —
In gentleness there is a strength that won't give way
In prosperity there is a calm that holds its sway
Prosperity since ancient times —today we rise
Liangzhu's light still shines through five thousand years' disguise
Prosperity since ancient times —today we rise
At Qiantang's tide Hangzhou touches the skies
Prosperity since ancient times —today we rise
Poetry written on Hangzhou's soil roots reaching for the skies
Hangzhou rises —to the skies
Hangzhou rises —to the skies
