The archway says “Jinmen Guli”
Eight hundred years of roots rooted deep
That old dawn-door creak six hundred years unbroken
Turning the days like pages in a book
Tianhou’s incense has never faded
six hundred years burning bright
Green brick and grey tile in Tongqing Lane
Hold the old soul of old Tianjin day and night
The door is always open for you
Six hundred woodblocks hold the light of time
That lamp at two a m still burns true
Whenever you come
I’m always here mine
By Clay Figurine Zhang’s glass display
A child stands on tiptoe eyes wide and bright
Leaves a round fog breath on the pane
Liu Hai’s smile hasn’t changed a bit
The clay’s cold to the touch
But the warmth never quits
That crescent knife has carved for thirty-eight years straight
Ink under his nails won’t wash away
The baby with the fish leaps up to the Tianjin Eye
Four hundred years still the same sweet face today
The door is always open for you
Six hundred woodblocks hold the light of time
That lamp at two a m still burns true
Whenever you come
I’m always here mine
Clay Figurine Zhang’s craft has passed six generations
Yangliuqing’s carvings four hundred years of patience
Lao Meihua’s shoes now wear cloud patterns new
That “Nine Rivers Meet the Sea”line
It’s Tianjin’s mark true and kind
Old craft stitched new
The door stays open all the time
The door is always open for you
Six hundred woodblocks hold the light of time
That lamp at two a m still burns true
Whenever you come
I’m always here mine
I’m always here mine
“Back home?”
“Back home?”
