V5.5

[Verse 1] From villages and townships they followed the dream The Pearl River Delta called out like a god Down to Shenzhen's bright lights and the factory's hum Promising fortune on assembly line floors But the wages ran dry and the hours grew hard And the dream slowly crumbled like sand on the shores [Verse 2] Now they say they work one day and then rest for three In the shade of the market where nobody asks why A bowl of thin noodles, a mat on concrete They carry the fragments of someone they once were A son from a village with a faraway name But the hours grow longer and nothing has changed [Chorus] At night the Gods of Sanhe Each in seclusion sings this song, "In the turbulent world, I drift like sand, wandering the four seas. Where is home!? (Where is home?) If I must ask where I will go for the rest of my life The gentle breeze will accompany me to the ends of the earth." [Bridge] "In this life without wealth, It's hard to start a family. Without carriages and horses I wander the world, Struggling to make ends meet. Sipping coarse tea, alone, Passing my years in seclusion." Half-human, half-ghost, half-god, half-mad, half-foolish -- all these [Verse 3] The city moved on and the gods were all cleared The streets that they haunted were scrubbed clean and bright The gods scattered outward, then slowly appeared In the Death Corridor's shadow, beyond the clean light Some say they are wasted, some say they are lost Some say they chose freedom But ask any god what it truly has cost. [Chorus] At night the Gods of Sanhe Each in seclusion sings this song, “在这动荡的世界里,我如沙般漂泊,游荡于四大洋之间。 家在哪里? 如果非要问,我余生将何去何从? 那和煦的微风将伴我到天涯海角。” [Outro] Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows will come? The gentle breeze carries me on.... Where is home? (Where is home?) 半人、半鬼、半神, 半疯、半傻——凡此种种
