土坡上的狗尾草 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

• By: 卢润泽

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The yellow earth turned to asphalt

Wildflowers bloomed at the village entrance then

I bought your favorite meat again

But you’re no longer by my side

Little Huang, I brought you home that day

Mud still clinging to your frame

You looked up at me so meek

Eight years have passed, it seems

You fought for leftover bones back then

Slept on rainy streets now and again

I never gave you a proper life

Oh why’d you leave when I couldn’t keep you here

In next life, find a loving home

Where wind and rain won’t leave you cold

Don’t look back, just go

Foxtail grass sways on the slope

Swaying till tears start to fall

Does moonlight reach where you rest now?

Singing this dog’s ballad low

My Little Huang, you’ll never hear it though

Riding my bike through storms and sun

Wish I could’ve taken you for every run

Coming home to empty walls at night

You’re gone from my sight

Only you’d cheer me when I felt low

Only you never judged what I couldn’t show

Foxtail grass sways on the slope

Swaying till tears start to fall

Does moonlight reach where you rest now?

Singing this dog’s ballad low

My Little Huang, you’ll never hear it though

Foxtail grass sways on the slope

Swaying till tears start to fall

Does moonlight reach where you rest now?

Singing this dog’s ballad low

My Little Huang, you’ll never hear it though

[Chinese]

黃土地變成柏油

野花開滿那時村口

我又買了你最愛吃的肉

可你卻不在我左右

小黃你被我撿回家

身上還裹著爛泥巴

抬著頭望著我啊

已經有八年了吧

你也搶過吃剩的骨頭

你也睡過下雨的街頭

我還沒能給你好生活

哎呀你咋走得我莫法留

來世你要投個好人家

別被雨淋和風吹啦

莫回頭快走吧

土坡上狗尾巴草搖啊

搖得人眼淚掉

你那頭月亮照不照得到

唱首狗兒的歌謠

我的小黃你卻已聽不到

騎著摩托風裡來雨裡去

可惜不能每天都載著你

深夜下班空空的房子

已經沒有你

只有你會來討我的高興

只有你不會嫌我沒出息

土坡上狗尾巴草搖啊

搖得人眼淚掉

你那頭月亮照不照得到

唱首狗兒的歌謠

我的小黃你卻已聽不到

土坡上狗尾巴草搖啊

搖得人眼淚掉

你那頭月亮照不照得到

唱首狗兒的歌謠

我的小黃你卻已聽不到
