Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Foreign Land”
yī tiān tiān liàn xí
一 天 天 练 习
Every day I’m practicing
réng xiǎng wèn zhǎng dà de yì yì
仍 想 问 长 大 的 意 义
But what does growing up even mean
yǐ wàng jì chán míng huī shǒu hé hàn jì
已 忘 记 蝉 鸣 挥 手 和 汗 迹
I’ve forgotten the sweat stains, goodbyes, and cicada’s cries
yè bàn shí mèng xǐng
夜 半 时 梦 醒
I awake in the night
shuí de lǐ xiǎng huá guò chéng shì féng xì
谁 的 理 想 划 过 城 市 缝 隙
Whose ideals will smooth over the cracks in the city
cái shí qǐ děng tuán yuán de rì lì
才 拾 起 等 团 圆 的 日 历
I pick up the calendar that marks our reunion
gù shì zhòng bō shé dié
故 事 重 播 折 叠
So the story repeats, overlaps
xīng xīng yòu luò pí bèi de jiān
星 星 又 落 疲 惫 的 肩
I can feel the stars on my weary shoulders
hū xiào dì tiě wǒ kàn guò hú dié
呼 啸 地 铁 我 看 过 蝴 蝶
I’ve seen butterflies on the howling subway
jiǎo xià bú céng kuàng yě
脚 下 不 曾 旷 野
There’s no wilderness underfoot
rén shēng hǎi hǎi běn sì mào xiǎn
人 生 海 海 本 似 冒 险
The seas of life are always an adventure
yōng jǐ lóu yǔ yù jīng yuè
拥 挤 楼 宇 遇 鲸 跃
Like a leaping whale in a crowded flat
yī tiān tiān liàn xí
一 天 天 练 习
Every day I’m practicing
réng xiǎng wèn zhǎng dà de yì yì
仍 想 问 长 大 的 意 义
But what does growing up even mean
yǐ wàng jì chán míng huī shǒu hé hàn jì
已 忘 记 蝉 鸣 挥 手 和 汗 迹
I’ve forgotten the sweat stains, goodbyes, and cicada’s cries
yè bàn shí mèng xǐng
夜 半 时 梦 醒
I awake in the night
shuí de lǐ xiǎng huá guò chéng shì féng xì
谁 的 理 想 划 过 城 市 缝 隙
Whose ideals will smooth over the cracks in the city
cái shí qǐ děng tuán yuán de rì lì
才 拾 起 等 团 圆 的 日 历
I pick up the calendar that marks our reunion
gù shì zhòng bō shé dié
故 事 重 播 折 叠

xīng xīng yòu luò pí bèi de jiān
星 星 又 落 疲 惫 的 肩
I can feel the stars on my weary shoulders
hū xiào dì tiě wǒ kàn guò hú dié
呼 啸 地 铁 我 看 过 蝴 蝶
I’ve seen butterflies on the howling subway
xiāng yīn gǎi hé chù lái
乡 音 改 何 处 来
How have I lost my accent
wǒ men dōu suí dì ké liú làng
我 们 都 随 地 壳 流 浪
We’re all wandering on the earth’s crust
shí jiān huì dǒng dé měi zhǒng juè qiáng
时 间 会 懂 得 每 种 倔 强
Time will reveal every manner of perseverance
yún wú xīn niǎo juàn fēi
云 无 心 鸟 倦 飞
Even birds tire of heartless clouds
fēng bàn mù ǎi pàn shì jiè qíng lǎng
风 伴 暮 霭 盼 世 界 晴 朗
May the evening mist clear into a sunny world
wǒ bǎ gù xiāng chuān shēn shàng
我 把 故 乡 穿 身 上
As I clothe myself in my homeland
gù shì zhòng bō shé dié
故 事 重 播 折 叠
So the story repeats, overlaps
xīng xīng yòu luò pí bèi de jiān
星 星 又 落 疲 惫 的 肩
I can feel the stars on my weary shoulders
hū xiào dì tiě wǒ kàn guò hú dié
呼 啸 地 铁 我 看 过 蝴 蝶

wǒ men dōu suí dì ké liú làng
我 们 都 随 地 壳 流 浪
We’re all wandering on the earth’s crust
shí jiān huì dǒng dé měi zhǒng juè qiáng
时 间 会 懂 得 每 种 倔 强
Time will reveal every manner of perseverance
yún wú xīn niǎo juàn fēi
云 无 心 鸟 倦 飞
Even birds tire of heartless clouds
fēng bàn mù ǎi pàn shì jiè qíng lǎng
风 伴 暮 霭 盼 世 界 晴 朗
May the evening mist clear into a sunny world
wǒ bǎ gù xiāng chuān shēn shàng
我 把 故 乡 穿 身 上
As I clothe myself in my homeland
