The wind blows

■Jihong

I believe it's the wind

The wind blows the hard stones

into fine sand

Sand stays on the shore

In solid form

Whispers with the river

I believe it's the wind

Every river course

It's all shaped by the wind

Facing Jinsha River

I know there is a mysterious power

Like destruction, like mothering, like love

Stands by you

But it can't be seen

Ganluo Ancient Road

Let sorrow of parting to rise all the way up

Parallel to the clouds in the sky

Let mountain wind to hit rocks

Imitate neigh of a running horse

Let licentious songs of the herdsmans

Ripen the flowers that desire to bloom

Let valiant knighs to use his spear

Make a hole in the sky

Walk along the ancient Ganluo Lingguan Road

I let myself to use the wind as my horse

Make a long shout when galloping

Shake down all the clouds in the sky
