湘江水 [XiangJiang River] [Xiāng jiāng shuǐ] [English translation]

Look, they are holding a deck of cards, but they don't know how to play.

Look at those young men. They don't know how to speak Changsha dialect.

Look at them, they don't know how to call their grandparents.

My slow game machine is almost broke by me.

I blaze my own trail. I don't ask for help from others.

I decide my own fate. I don't ask for the blessing of the gods.

Never seek stability.

I am never afraid of obstacles.

To change your mind,

I can be determined and cruel.

To change this world,

Music is the fire left behind.

Changsha people and Changsha soul,

Party ended in the morning.

Take a tour of Martyrs Park,

Listen to "Close Lover" on the side of a ship.

Time flies so fast.

Say "Bye" to the past.

Changsha kids have straight backs.

They don't need back supporters.

This is the new Changsha city.

It'll never fall behind.

Wherever I fly in the future,

My home is still here.

If my music is still not your cup of tea,

I don't think you know anything about it.

Remember my city.

Remember, this is Changsha city.

This is Changsha people and Changsha soul.

You can find the story of Changsha in the city of Changsha.

I'll be ride for my city.

If you wanna achieve this,

It's not as easy as eating a bowl of noodles.

If you want fame and money,

You have to be adamant.

If you wanna be so fresh,

Learn to roll in the mud first.

You don't understand anything,

So I forgive you for not understanding me.

I can go fight freely

Without rest.

Keep on working hard without a murmur

And you'll always achieve good results.

I can jump from the stage into the crowd,

There are always those who will catch me.

But in front of the girl that I like,

I get timid and shy.

Besides applause and screams,

What do I want?

Wanna hug this world

And smile at those who have been hurt.

Whether through Orange Island Bridge

Or the river crossing tunnel,

I want to go back home to sleep, no matter how far away I am.

This place is still so charming,

Although Yuelu Mountain is not high.

I still love the rice with chopped chili,

No matter how it's cooked.

I still remember

All the stickers of the childhood snacks I bought – on the Panpan security door.

After traveling around the earth,

I'm still in 07311.

This is Changsha city and Changsha people.

Changsha city and Changsha soul.

Don't apologize or go wild.

No matter how famous the locals are, they were nothing before.

If you chicken out once, you'll have to do it all the time.

Old classmates greet each other warmly, as if Da Bing is greeting Qi Zhi.2

I don't care about anything, so don't ask me when the fire starts.

I won't be afraid even if I touch the rock at the bottom of the river.

Handsome guys don't care 'cause they despise cowards.

Life is meaningless, but this song

Will help you find its meaning.

The hottie likes to get into trouble.

She will destroy you, turn you to dust and laugh at your decisions.

Changsha's C-Block rap group is hotter than Miami

'Cause their songs give goosebumps.

Let's visit the top places that are the pride of Hunan:

Visit the University of technology, Hunan University, Agricultural University and experience the culture of Hunan.

Hear Hunan's meaningful hip-hop

And let me raise a glass of Xiangjiang water to you!
