Lyrics of "islands" by Tian Fuzhen

I think it's a good distance

Just across the sea

I am an Islander, an Islander by the sea

The world and I smile politely

Don't worry. I have too few people on this island

The density of the population is just right

I'm a small island. I can't hold big troubles

Good morning, tourists

I don't know how it happened

Thank you for praying for me, but I'm not bothered

Who can decide who is the best

I'm so alienated that I don't want to be treated

This distance is good for everyone

Just across the sea, looking out at each other

I am an Islander, an Islander by the sea

The world and I are not bored

I don't know how it happened

Thank you for praying for me, but I'm not bothered

Don't worry. I have too few people on this island

All the friends who have been here have stayed

I'm a small island, easy to satisfy

He who knows knows knows

I'm a small island, a contented island

I love people love me
