Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I am nameless, I have little to wear.

I stand with you, unable to bear the hatred.

Knock on my heart's door, swap my quiet warmth.

Your blue stars, you fearless soul.

You ride the wind on a single journey.

Wrap around my feelings; I won't wait any longer.

Even the rainforest bells can't cross loneliness.

Yet I write that hatred in my heart.

Before my eyes, the grasses and trees look pale and faint.

I still remember the starry sky.

Back then, a single look of longing left a mark on my heart.

Rumors fall like rain; every word is heartless.

People come, asking about the roots of a thousand lives.

Years pass, the heavens stay distant—how strange this crimson dawn.

I am nameless, I have little to wear.

I stand with you, unable to bear the hatred.

Knock on my heart's door, swap my quiet warmth.

Your blue stars, you fearless soul.

You ride the wind on a single journey.

Wrap around my feelings; I won't wait any longer.

Winter snow falls; dreaming is hard to hold, but there’s no lingering resentment.

A single pipa note, the sound pursues a sorrowing heart.

I won't fall into despair; I still sing deep within.

The spirit shatters; how many red fragments linger, I wonder.

I am nameless, I have little to wear.

I stand with you, unable to bear the hatred.

Knock on my heart's door, swap my quiet warmth.

Your blue stars, you fearless soul.

You ride the wind on a single journey.

Wrap around my feelings; I won't wait any longer.

Clinging to shattered dreams, I ask why.

Craving money is human.

Clinging to shattered dreams, I ask why.

Craving money is human.

Clinging to shattered dreams, I ask why.

Craving money is human.
