Lyrics and translation 王建房 - 长安城




长安城
City of Chang'an
黄土地呀黄土黄
Yellow earth, oh yellow earth
勤劳的人们在奔忙耶
Industrious people are toiling
我们用温暖迎接太阳
We greet the sun with warmth
我们的汗水伴着月亮
Our sweat accompanies the moon
秦川大地上我生长呀
I was born on the great plains of Qin
兵马俑咋就和我一个样
How come the terracotta warriors look just like me
有事从不心里放
I never keep my feelings inside
把喜怒哀乐都挂在脸上
My joys and sorrows are written on my face
黄土地呀黄土黄
Yellow earth, oh yellow earth
关中的厚土埋皇上耶
The thick soil of Guanzhong buries the emperor
霸桥风雪柳絮飘舞
Snow flurries dance over the Baqiao Bridge
骊山晚照云霞满天
Clouds illuminate the sky at dusk over Mount Li
长安城墙保平安呀
The walls of Chang'an keep us safe
渭水流过我家园
The Wei River flows through our homeland
年年的收成我心欢喜呀
I'm overjoyed by the annual harvest
抽一袋旱烟我就吼秦腔
I'll light a pipe and sing a Qin腔 folk song
吼秦腔
Oh, Qin腔 folk song
雁塔晨钟传遍长安城
The morning bell of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda echoes through Chang'an
喝酽茶晒太阳囊活舒坦
I drink strong tea and bask in the sun, feeling completely content
捞一碗然面喜气洋洋
I scoop up a bowl of boiled noodles, beaming with joy
没放辣子我嘟嘟囔囔
I grumble if there's no chili oil
我嘟嘟囔囔 我就嘟嘟囔囔
I grumble, I grumble, I just grumble
哎呀哎呀哎呀我的我呀
Oh dear me, my dear me
这就是粗犷豪爽的黄土地呀
This is the rugged and unrestrained yellow earth
哎呀哎呀哎呀我的我呀
Oh dear me, my dear me
这就是淳朴善良生我的故乡
This is my humble hometown, full of simple and kind people
哎呀哎呀哎呀我的我呀
Oh dear me, my dear me
这就是粗犷豪爽的黄土地呀
This is the rugged and unrestrained yellow earth
哎呀哎呀哎呀我的我呀
Oh dear me, my dear me
这就是淳朴善良生我的故乡
This is my humble hometown, full of simple and kind people
