From Patagonia’s howling wind
to wild Siberian snow
(极南风啸雪连秋)
58000 kilometers he had one way to go
(万里孤征一径幽)
He traced the spine of ancient hills
and drank the Caspian breeze
(踏遍千峰寻旧脊)
The earth was not a prison cell
but trails beneath the trees
(长倾里海饮寒流)
Yet he stopped before a phantom line
where ink and arrogance meet
No raging river blocked his path
no canyon at his feet
(狂言落墨成虚界)
The highest peak is not of stone
the deepest sea is blind
The iron curtain blocking us
is forged within the mind
(执念生牢锁暗愁)
Oh take an overview with me
to see the world so wide
To wash away the painted lines
where fear and borders hide
(愿借金曦同俯瞰)
Let’s walk into the golden dawn
where shadows lose their might
The only cages holding us
are minds afraid of flight
(长空无影破心囚)
May 2026 the sorting belts are spinning fast
(传送飞轮日夜催)
The intern beats the metal hands
but knows it is the last
(残冠褪色亦无哀)
We do not fear this fading crown
if kindness guides the way
(千钧重负交金石)
Let steel and wire bear the weight
and sweat no more today!
(寸晷微功换玉醅)
Let one hour's labor buy the bread
to feed a family’s soul
(坦坦平川惊是狱)
Escaping from the "smooth flat hell"
that swallows up our goal
(茫茫尘役喜成灰)
No longer chained to feed the flesh
from dawn till heavy dusk
(从今解脱皮囊苦)
Now real love and friendship bloom
breaking the daily husk
(情义如花向晓开)
Oh take an overview with me
to see the world so wide
To wash away the painted lines
where fear and borders hide
(同览大千销画界)
Let’s walk into the golden dawn
