Jinjiang Shadows
(成都市城市主题宣传曲•系列作品)
作词: 东山居士&泽希
混音:东山居士
The Jinjiang flows from ancient days to now
The rain Du Fu heard still lingers somehow
Good rain knows when to wake and revive
It paints the whole town and warms every life
Through thousand years by Hejiang Pavilion souls arrive
At Wuhou Shrine the cypress stands so proud
Planted by Zhuge Liang who gave his vow
His soul lives on though he’s long passed away
In tea and in smoke we still carry his grace
A loyal heart in ordinary days always stays
The Jinjiang flows through time and tide
Reflecting heroes poets side by side
It shines on the common gentle and true
The same warm heart in me and you
Jinjiang shadows hold Zhuge’s lamp
Du Fu’s ink Xue Tao’s art divine
Dujiangyan’s waves feed a thousand years eternally shine
One thousand years of grace Chengdu heaven’s finest place!
Deep in the soil love remains;soft in the soul time sustains
By Huanhua Stream Xue Tao’s papers glow
She sent her soul to all who’d come to know
Today a girl at Wangjiang Tower sends
A picture to her love and she lends
This Tang dream to their own
A love song that’s forever shown
Jinjiang shadows hold Zhuge’s lamp
Du Fu’s ink Xue Tao’s art divine
Dujiangyan’s waves feed a thousand years eternally shine
One thousand years of grace Chengdu heaven’s finest place!
Deep in the soil love remains;soft in the soul time sustains
When Li Bing built the weir so long ago
He never knew how far this dream would grow
The Land of Abundance feeds our days
We drink by the river lift our gaze
And say with quiet pride:
This water’s our ancestors’guide
Jinjiang shadows light the past the now the ones who pass by
Dujiangyan’s heart divides to heal the earth and calm the sky
One thousand years of grace Chengdu heaven’s finest place!
History lives in you and me;gentle and grand forever free
