I Want to Say to You

I want to say to you,Dajishaluo, my hometown,you’re far away and nebulousYou’re between the cloudsYou’re beside the sun

I want to say to you,Dajishaluo, my hometown,if I die,don’t send me to a crematorium outside of townI fear a memorywon’t disappearand I won’t be able to find a window to breathe

I want to say to you,Dajishaluo, my hometown,that distraught melodywill flow and become a riverMy relatives who are far from herewill carry my bodyaway from this unfamiliar place

I want to say to you,Dajishaluo, my hometown,since I come from the mountainI should return to the mountainThe world is so vastbut it’s only in your benevolent bosomthat my soul can find eternal rest
