Jinggui
(北京市城市宣传主题音乐系列)
作词:泽希(Zesen)&东山居士(Easthill Hermit)
混音:东山居士(Easthill Hermit)
Morning fog drapes over alley eaves low
A peddler’s cry lights up the dawn slow
Sharpen scissors grind the kitchen knives!
Its frosty tail note slices the morning’s haze
Candied haws strung with crimson sunlit days
Bamboo sticks hold the joy of olden ways
I gather these sounds before they fade away
Lest wind sweeps by leaving silent stone reliefs to stay
Shake Jinggui call back all the lost mornings bright
Let cries drift to clouds build a temple of light
Shake Jinggui count the tickets of warmth and life
Integrity the heirloom through every strife
Hard flour cakes scent cuts through QR code’s glow
Old radio hums tunes of bygone folk show
Windowsill pigeons know the way back home
Homesickness grows faint in broadband’s silent roam
Etch fading sounds deep in the heart’s own scar
So when we look back we’ll still hear them afar
Shake Jinggui call back all the lost mornings bright
Let cries drift to clouds build a temple of light
Shake Jinggui count the tickets of warmth and life
Integrity the heirloom through every strife
Not craft fades away but the scroll of daily fire
I collect peddler’s calls like oracle bones of our desire
When life’s warm scenes turn to relics on display
Don’t forget they fed every household every day
Shake Jinggui call back all the lost mornings bright
Let cries drift to clouds build a temple of light
Shake Jinggui count the tickets of warmth and life
Integrity the heirloom through every strife
Shake Jinggui guard the root of Beijing’s timeless charm
Let culture live in smoke warming each moment’s calm
Peddlers fade far away but Jinggui’s echo stays
