The Mountain City
06:57
|
|||
In Southern China.
Surrounded by great mountains.
Once the capital of 大梁.
1644 with Ming Dynasty’s downfall.
Captured by 张献忠.
Between QingHai – Tibet plateu.
The 大巴 mountains in the North.
Towards the 长江 river.
Home to 30 million people.
Known as the Mountain city.
Chongqing arises!
巫峡 in the East.
武陵 in the Southeast.
And 大娄山 in the South.
Deeply hot summers.
And short cold winters.
China’s fog capital.
Ah! The mountain city!
Ah! The mountain city!
吧蔓子, a hero rises.
From the ancient Chongqing.
Legendary, guardian of Linjiang.
Killed himself for his honor.
秦良玉, Ming Dynasty heroine.
The protector of gates.
Great Chongqing, the city of mountains.
南部的山城.

A Lament to 地球
08:21
|
|||
地球 has now turned into hell.
He beauty of our world has faded away.
The ancient gods of nature died in vain.
Humans infect the lands where nature prevailed.
The sky turns silver and the forests turn red.
We gasp for air to breath, we barely can stand.
Surrounded by an endless cancer, we pray.
Until all men have vanished, rebirth of Earth.

盘古 The Creator
06:44
|
|||
For 18,000 years.
Inside a cosmic chaos.
A giant slept at ease.
Surrounded by Yin and Yang.
He then opened his eyes.
And took his mighty ax.
By swinging (it) into Yin and Yang.
The creation then began.
Yin became Earth.
Yang became sky.
King PanGu stood between.
And pushed the sky up high.
Aided by the four beasts.
After years the giant finally died.
His breath became the wind, the mist and clouds.
His left eye became the sun. His right eye became the moon.
His head the mountains, his blood the rivers.
His muscles became land, his hair turned into stars.
And finally, his voice became thunder.
Mighty PanGu.
The Creator.
YinYang Master.
Daoist legend.

句芒 God of Spring
10:14
|
|||
Translation:
The good rain knows its season.
When Spring arrives, it brings life.
It follows the wind secretly into the night.
And moistens all things softly, without sound.
On the country road, the clouds are all black.
On a riverboat, a single fire bright.
At dawn one sees the place now red and wet.
The flowers are heavy in the brocade city.
God GouMang.
God of Spring.
Guardian of the East.
God GouMang.

Through the Forest of 根河
08:57
|
|||
In Northern China, in the cold Inner Mongolia.
Where the Winter lasts forever, GenHe arises.
I find myself in peace, deep in the forest.
Surrounded by sky-high trees, feasting in nature.
Through the forest of GenHe.
I walk alone, unwinding my soul.
Through the forest of GenHe.
Here comes the storm, washing it all.
As I keep walking, I'm amazed by all the splendor.
The cold won't distress me, in here there's no danger.
I choose a spot, nearby the river.
Where more people come, searching for echoes.
Through the forest of GenHe.
I walk alone, unwinding my soul.
Through the forest of GenHe.
After the storm, wisdom will come.

Oh Mighty China
08:12
|
|||
For thousands of years.
An ancient civilization.
Emerges from the yellow river.
Since Xia dynasty,
In 21 B.C.
Until Qing Dynasty’s take-over.
Colossal Nation,
With endless landscapes,
Where The Great Wall endures.
The Terracotta Army,
Protect the Emperor,
In the great beyond.
Glorious Chairman Mao,
Founder of People’s Republic,
Legend forever honored.
Military strategist,
Poet and visionary,
Remains a symbol of progress.
Oh, oh Mighty China.
Oh, oh Mighty China.
The more I travel ‘round this land I,
Can see the magic and the beauty,
One life is not enough to fathom,
The astounding meaning of this culture.
From the high mountains to the caverns,
From the long rivers to the blue lakes,
From the eager city to the quiet country,
My soul is full of peace and passion.
Oh, oh Mighty China.
Oh, oh Mighty China.
I am at ease now, I found the place in my dreams,
Great 中华人民共和国,my heart belongs to you.
Land of great heroes, of KungFu masters,
Land of traditions, mystic and colors.
