Lyrics of Jiang Ming's northern suburbs 1991

The buildings are grey

The sky is its reflection

A great man pointing to the distance in the cold wind

The old man huddled by the square

It's bleak and monotonous in winter

The track goes south

My young girl is like a green apple

She carried the coolness of the morning dew

The face of the cold wind

It hurts to laugh

Stubborn as if you don't want to wear more clothes

Resist all the coldness with youth

Beer, rock music and cycling

Purity and confusion in eyes

You said you should be as beautiful as them

The curiosity is just because you're young

That year's northern suburbs, I stroked the long hair and strings

In that year's northern suburb, my drunk ideal and street

In that year's northern suburbs, I relied on my brothers and sages

In that year's northern suburbs, you waved like a distant train

The children here are like thin old pieces of paper

As soon as the wind blows, it's all over the street

Some float to the balcony to escape into the muddy water

Northern suburbs in 1991

The sadness that the train can't take away

Daobei time is like tearing up old pieces of paper

The wind blows through the street

Some people get drunk in the third shift, others pursue their dreams

My young brother is singing in the northern suburb under the city wall

Singing, crying, sirens

I'm a stranger around this corner

My young girl has long hair to the sky

As soon as the wind blows, the street is full of light

The statue still stands in the cold wind

You've been far away

You can't hug so hard anymore

Like embracing us who were young

You can't hug so hard anymore

It's like embracing your young self
