The lyrics of the eternal city by Cai Qin

Eternal City

Cai Qin

I can't say why I miss you

It can only be said that there is a permanent city there

The flute in the quiet night

The dusk light shadow of the ring night market

Wanjiadenghuo at the foot of Beitou mountain

The world of mortals beside ximending

If you want to ask me the spring of homesickness

I only know that there is a permanent city there

If you want to ask me the way back home

I can only say that there is a permanent soil there

Music interlude

I can't say why I miss you

It can only be said that there is a permanent city there

The palace museum with mountain breeze

Reflections on lotus pond

Looking up at the clouds and smoke

Fresh water in the morning and dusk

If you want to ask me the spring of homesickness

I only know that there is a permanent city there

If you want to ask me the way back home

I can only say that there is a permanent soil there

If you want to ask me the spring of homesickness

I only know that there is a permanent city there

If you want to ask me the way back home

I can only say that there is a permanent soil there

End.
