[English]
The yellow earth turns into asphalt
Wildflowers bloom at the village entrance, just like then
I bought your favorite meat again
But you’re not by my side
Like it’s withered away
That road is all built up now
Come back around
Big bowl, old friend
The days we lived together
In the rainy, cold town
Sorry I couldn’t hold onto that fragile happiness
In the next life, be born in a better place
Don’t live a life soaked by rain and snow anymore
On the slope, the dog’s tail grass sways
Swaying until tears fall
Does the moon over there still shine on you?
Covering up those old scars
The bitterness of that time just flows away
Riding the motorcycle through wind and rain
Wish I could take you with me every day
Late at night, returning to an empty house
You’re no longer here
Like it’s withered away
That road is all built up now
On the embankment, the dog’s tail grass sways gently
Tears spill over
On the slope, the dog’s tail grass sways
Swaying until tears fall
Does the moon over there still shine on you?
Even if you leave that road, don’t be sad anymore
Covering up those old scars
The bitterness of that time just flows away
The gentle wind softly guides the way back, back to the past

Key Grammar Structures

  • 黄土地变成柏油 (Huáng tǔdì biànchéng bóyóu)

    ➔ Verb-Object Construction, Resultative Complement

    ➔ The verb “变成 (biànchéng)” indicates a change of state. The 'yellow land' (**黄土地**) *becomes* (**变成**) asphalt (**柏油**). This is a common pattern in Chinese to show a completed transformation.

  • 你那头月亮照不照得到 (Nǐ nà tóu yuèliàng zhào bù zhào dédào)

    ➔ Potential Complement with Negative Question

    ➔ “照不照得到 (zhào bù zhào dédào)” uses the potential complement “得到 (dédào)” to ask if the moonlight (**月亮**) *can be seen* (**照得到**) on 'your side' (**你那头**). The “不” creates a negative question, implying doubt.

  • Che lấp đi những vết sẹo đã cũ

    ➔ Verb + Object + Past Participle Phrase

    ➔ The phrase “đã cũ (đã cũ)” functions as an adjective modifying “vết sẹo (vết sẹo)” – 'old scars'. The verb “che lấp (che lấp)” means to cover up or conceal. The sentence means 'to cover up the old scars'.

  • Dịu dàng cơn gió khẽ đưa lối về về nơi quá khứ

    ➔ Adverbial Phrase + Noun + Verb + Adverb + Prepositional Phrase

    ➔ The repetition of “về (về)” emphasizes the return *to* the past (**nơi quá khứ**). “Dịu dàng (dịu dàng)” is a gentle adverb describing the wind (**cơn gió**). “Đưa lối (đưa lối)” means to guide or lead.
