Sung by Cui Jian
I walked by you alone
and had no words to say to you
I didn't dare to look up at your
Oh face
You ask me where I'm going
I point in the direction of the sea
Your wonder is like giving me
Oh praise.
You asked me where I was going
I pointed in the direction of the sea
You asked me where I was going
I pointed in the direction of the sea
You took me into your bower
I couldn't escape the scent of the flowers
I didn't realize that I had forgotten
Oh the direction
You told me that I was the strongest person in the world
You said that I was the strongest person in the world
I was the strongest person in the world. Strongest in the world
I say you're the kindest in the world
You don't realize that you're the same as the flowers
Oh, the same as them
You say I'm the strongest in the world
I say you're the kindest in the world
You say I'm the strongest in the world
I say you're the kindest in the world
You want me to stay here
You want me to be like them They're all the same
I look at you and say in silence
Oh, it can't be
I want to go back to the old place
I want to walk the old way
That's when I know I can't get away from you
Oh, girl
I'm going back to the old place
I'm going down the old way
I know I can't leave you anymore
Oh girl
I'm going back to the old place
I'm going down the old road
I know I can't get away from you
Oh girl
I'm going back to the old place
I'm going down the old road
I know I can't get away from you
Oh girl
I'm going back to the old place
I'm going down the old road
I know I can't get away from you
Oh girl
I'm going back to the old place
