Lyrics:
The phoenix flew south, and the colorful clouds followed it
Listening to the mountains and rivers, and the sky, and the beauty of the sky
Spreading its wings, I waved them around
The sky is high enough to let birds fly, and the scenery, I am enchanted with it. Dreams are all around me
The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the scenery is intoxicating
I want the blue sky to be my back
White clouds are the stamens scattered under my feet
A flat river and the evening winds are blowing
Don't pay any attention to all the world's troubles
Young people don't know what nostalgia is like
The further I am from home, the more I feel the preciousness of the word "love"
A familiar voice comes to my ears
A familiar voice comes to me. The familiar voice in my ear
With me, I'm going on a journey
The phoenix is flying south, and the clouds are following
Listening to the mountains and the rivers, how beautiful is the paradise
Spreading out my wings and waving them, my dreams are all around me
The sky is high enough for the birds to fly, and the landscape is intoxicating to me
Ah, ah,
I want to have the blue sky as a backing for my back
White clouds are the flowers that fall at my feet
The white clouds are the flowers that fall underneath my feet.
The Phoenix flies south, the clouds follow it.
Listening to the mountains and rivers, how beautiful is the paradise
Spreading out my wings and waving them around, my dreams are all around me
The sky is high enough for the birds to fly, and the scenery is intoxicating
The phoenix is flying south, and the colorful clouds follow
Listening to the mountains and rivers, how beautiful is the paradise
Spreading out my wings and waving them around, my dreams are all around me
The sky is high enough for the birds to fly, and the scenery is intoxicating
The phoenix is flying south, and the colorful clouds follow
The phoenix is flying south, and the colorful clouds follow me.
Listening to the mountains and rivers, how beautiful is the sky
Spreading its wings and waving its wings, the dream is all around
The sky is high enough for the birds to fly, and the scenery intoxicates me
