Lyrics of Hong Qi's song over the city in 2001

You are homesick in this cold city

Miss your wife, your daughter, your warmth

Sitting at the top of the building, in the corner of the construction site

Facing the cold current of Siberia, you smile

You've been working here for a long time

You don't eat a lot of sweet fruits in this place

Your accent, your clothes are rustic and shabby

Your figure is weak and easy to be drowned by the crowd

All of a sudden, you sing over the city

For the wages you haven't received yet

On this day, you sing over the city

For the coming Spring Festival of family reunion

All of a sudden, you sing over the city

For the wages you haven't received yet

On this day, you sing over the city

A song of your own life

You are homesick in this cold city

Miss your wife, your daughter, your warmth

Sitting at the top of the building, in the corner of the construction site

Facing the cold current of Siberia, you smile

You've been working here for a long time

You don't eat a lot of sweet fruits in this place

Your accent, your clothes are rustic and shabby

Your figure is weak and easy to be drowned by the crowd

All of a sudden, you sing over the city

For the wages you haven't received yet

On this day, you sing over the city

For the coming Spring Festival of family reunion

All of a sudden, you sing over the city

For the wages you haven't received yet

On this day, you sing over the city

A song of your own life

A song of your own life
