my translation of Xu Wei's "the City I Miss" which he dedicated to his hometown Xi'an. it is a powerful, intense but simple song, lyrically and musically.
Verse:
the city I miss is already at dusk,
Why I always love you so deeply,
u used to give me happiness
and sadness,
u used to give me hope
and despair
I am now at a distant city
Staying With strangers
Feeling your distant sadness
And my own fantasy
Chorus:
The wind passing by never blow away
The dust which is so thick in the city,
The rain falling down never wash away
The sadness deeply inside u,
Your sadness
Is like my despair
So endless
