Dear Road

Brief | written for the road | Sub-genre: folk | Language: Chinese Mandarin

This is a letter of appreciation to the road. The sidewalks and lanes in the city are built by the hard-working constructors over the years, making the city more environmentally friendly and safer for the elderly and children to cross the road. The road has seen me grow up while I witness its improvement in crafting a better hometown for all.

Lyrics

Dear Road, you know too much about my secrets
Dear Road, only you remember how naughty I used to be
The alleys are filled with memories of my youth
And you’ve become more and more beautiful as well
Looking at the familiar scenery
is what calms me the most
The quietness under the shade of trees
How I wish to preserve it

You quietly accompanied grow and guided me home
Under the big tree in the rice field, I made a wish
Letting love sprout here, giving children dreams
This is a place watered by so much warmth
We are all sunshine of each other
Giving the future a home filled with love and dreams

Dear Road, my steps reveal my emotion
Dear Road, you see through me, whether I’m hurt or hiding
As we grow older, we need even more courage
I hope to be like you, becoming more considerate
I see the improvement within myself
and feel the marks of growing up together with you
The tranquility of the sidewalk is the most beautiful scenery

You quietly accompanied grow and guided me home
Under the big tree in the rice field, I made a wish
Letting love sprout here, giving children dreams
This is a place watered by so much warmth
We are all sunshine of each other
Giving the future a home that gets better and better
