Happy Lunar New Year!nSorry for my pronounciation! haha definitely not a native speaker and had to pin yin everything. But this is a great song I performed a few times during this Chinese New Year season. I layered different live recordings together so it sounds quite messy haha. Also put in random clips of Chinese scenery... might have broken alot of copy right issues hahaha I do not own those clips and they consist of footage from the olympics and various other documentaries and movies. A full coverage/vlog of everything that happened during this new years coming soon!nnThe song is a very patriotic song coming from the roots of ancient China where it had great dynasties and the dragon was the symbol of its might. However, over time, there has been many struggles and the song was originally intended to reinspire and remind us of our roots and that we are all descendants of the mighty dragon. The song covers various symbolic imagery, mainly of the Yangtse and Yellow River, both the greatest rivers in Asia and two of the greatest in the world. Much like the great wall of China, it symbolizes the might of chinese culture, and is something that is held deep in the hearts of all those Chinese. Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, so the song says. Despite being born and living in the West, we are still chinese and singing about the far off land in the East, seems like the river and the dragon connects all of us. What a perfect song for the year of the dragon and a very inspiring and powerful song!nnThe lyrics as re-arranged and sung by Wang Lee Hom are as follows:nnVERSE 1nn遙遠的東方有一條江nYao yuan di dong fang you yi tiao jiangnFaraway in the east there is a rivernn它的名字就叫長江nTa di ming zi jiu jiao Chang JiangnIts name is Yangtse River nn遙遠的東方有一條河nYao yuan di dong fang you yi tiao henFaraway in the east there is a rivernn它的名字就叫黃河nTa di ming zi jiu jiao Huang HenIts name is HuanghennVERSE 2nn古老的東方有一條龍nGu lao di dong fang you tiao longnIn the ancient Orient there is a dragonnn她的名字就叫中國nTa di ming zi jiu jiao Zhong GuonIts name is Chinann古老的東方有一群人nGu lao di dong fang you yi qun rennIn the ancient Orient there is a group of peoplenn他們全都是龍的傳人nTa men quan dou shi long de chuan rennThey are all descendants of the dragon!nnCHORUS 1nn巨龍腳底下我成長nJu long jiao di xia wo cheng zhangnUnder the great dragon I grew upnn長成以後是龍的傳人nZhang cheng yi hou shi long de chuan rennGrown up, I became a descendant of the dragonnn黑眼睛黑頭髮黃皮膚nHei yan jing Hei tou fa Huang pi funBlack eyes, black hair, yellow skinnn永永遠遠是龍的傳人nYong yong yuan yuan shi long de chuan rennForever, forever, the descendant of the dragon!nnVERSE 1nn遙遠的東方有一條江nYao yuan di dong fang you yi tiao jiangnFaraway in the east there is a rivernn它的名字就叫長江nTa di ming zi jiu jiao Chang JiangnIts name is Yangtse River nn遙遠的東方有一條河nYao yuan di dong fang you yi tiao henFaraway in the east there is a rivernn它的名字就叫黃河nTa di ming zi jiu jiao Huang HenIts name is HuanghennCHORUS 2nn雖不曾看見長江美nSui bu ceng kan jian Chang Jiang meinAlthough I don't often see the beautiful Yangtsenn夢裡常神遊長江水nMeng li chang shen you Chang Jiang shuinIn my dreams, my spirit often swims in its waternn雖不曾聽見黃河壯nSui bu ceng ting jian Huang He zhuangnAlthough I don't often hear the strength of the Yellow rivernn澎湃洶湧在夢裡nPeng tai xiong yong zai meng linThe violent surging waves are in my dreamsnnVERSE 2nn古老的東方有一條龍nGu lao di dong fang you tiao longnIn the ancient east there is a dragonnn她的名字就叫中國nTa di ming zi jiu jiao Zhong GuonIts name is Chinann古老的東方有一群人nGu lao di dong fang you yi qun rennIn the ancient east there is a group of peoplenn他們全都是龍的傳人nTa men quan dou shi long de chuan rennThey are all descendants of the dragon!nnHAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR OF THE DRAGON!
