Lyrics of Nanyin by Fang Datong

In his sunglasses

I can't see the moon of Erquan

How hazy it is

I only remember when I was a teenager

When practicing Erhu

The strings are red with blood

He lost his sight at the age of 34

How to use his eyes

Looking for your own glory

When I was a child, I played the wave to wash the sand

They said he was a gifted child

But in the next picture

He's on the street

Selling his childhood dreams

In the crowded alley of the noisy Restaurant

He was waiting for someone to move for him

No one knows music, no one knows reward

Because he's really poor

In the dark north wind, in the dim candlelight

He thought he could always play a rainbow for people

Music has its own audience

Lighting the lantern of his destiny along the way

He doesn't care whether the moon is red or not

In round sunglasses

Happy and happy

There is no one to sing

He is not poor

He is poor and ambitious

Music proved him useful

It's his wife on the way home

I'll hold him and play

That song is the most moving

I don't know who's passing by

It's free to hear

Do you have heartache

But in the next picture

He's on the street

Selling his childhood dreams

In the crowded alley of the noisy Restaurant

He was waiting for someone to move for him

No one knows music, no one knows reward

Because he's really poor

In the dark north wind, in the dim candlelight

He thought he could always play a rainbow for people

Music has its own audience

Lighting the lantern of his destiny along the way

He doesn't care whether the moon is red or not

Dear audience, imagine their faces

Tearful or beaming

Dad is his hero

His kind face was fading away

In the music of Nanyin

In the crowded alley of the noisy Restaurant

He was waiting for someone to move for him

No one understands music

Because he's really poor

In the dark north wind, in the dim candlelight

He thought he could always play a rainbow for people

Music has its own audience

Lighting the lantern of his destiny along the way

He doesn't care whether the moon is red or not
