Translation of the song 湘江水 (XiangJiang River) artist Lay (EXO)

看着他们拿着一垛闪卡不晓得玩

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

看着那些老弟长沙话都不晓得讲

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

看着他们娭毑外婆都不晓得喊

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

我的小霸王都被我玩的游戏散板

My slow game machine is almost broke by me.

自己的路不求人

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

自己的命不求神

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

从不为了求稳

Never seek stability.

就去怕了受梗

I am never afraid of obstacles.

为了改变你的看法

To change your mind,

霸得蛮也发的狠

I can be determined and cruel.

为了改变这个世界

To change this world,

音乐是留下的火种

Music is the fire left behind.

长沙人 长沙魂

Changsha people and Changsha soul,

Party到早上结束

Party ended in the morning.

烈士公园游一轮

Take a tour of Martyrs Park,

船边听亲密爱人

Listen to Close Lover on the side of a ship.

时间过的飞快

Time flies so fast.

跟过去say bye

Say Bye to the past.

长沙伢子身板直

Changsha kids have straight backs.

不系背背佳背带

They don't need back supporters.

这是新的长沙city

This is the new Changsha city.

以后会下不得地

It'll never fall behind.

我随便飞到哪里

Wherever I fly in the future,

我的家它还在这里

My home is still here.

还没韵到味

If my music is still not your cup of tea,

我看你的脑壳还是木的

I don't think you know anything about it.

记住我的城市

Remember my city.

记住这是长沙city

Remember, this is Changsha city.

这是长沙的人 长沙的魂

This is Changsha people and Changsha soul.

长沙的故事活在长沙的城

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

长沙的人 长沙的魂

Changsha people and Changsha soul.

I'll be ride for my city

I'll be ride for my city.

I'll be die for my city

I'll be die for my city.

想要吃这碗饭

If you wanna achieve this,

那真的就不是嗦碗粉

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

想要做条傲腿名和利

If you want fame and money,

你都要端得稳

You have to be adamant.

你要想so fresh

If you wanna be so fresh,

先学会泥巴里面滚

Learn to roll in the mud first.

七不懂又八不懂

You don't understand anything,

原谅你不懂我的梗

So I forgive you for not understanding me.

可以要我放肆去拼

I can go fight freely

都不需要歇一下

Without rest.

默默耕耘的大树下

Keep on working hard without a murmur

总会开花结下果

And you'll always achieve good results.

可以跳向人海

I can jump from the stage into the crowd,

反正肯定有人接住我

There are always those who will catch me.

但是喜欢的妹子面前

But in front of the girl that I like,

真的瞬间怯了火

I get timid and shy.

抛开掌声尖叫

Besides applause and screams,

什么是我想要

What do I want?

给这个世界拥抱

Wanna hug this world

痛苦的人微笑

And smile at those who have been hurt.

不管是走一桥

Whether through Orange Island Bridge

还是走过江隧道

Or the river crossing tunnel,

不管好远都最想回屋里睡觉

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

还是这里韵味

This place is still so charming,

虽然岳麓山它真不高

Although Yuelu Mountain is not high.

还是剁辣椒拌的饭

I still love the rice with chopped chili,

就是随什么都不挑

No matter how it's cooked.

还是记得

I still remember

那年盼盼上面的旺旺不干胶

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

围着地球转一圈

After traveling around the earth,

我还在0731

I'm still in 07311.

莫不好意思 也莫发宝气子

Don't apologize or go wild.

国里再大滴牌以前哈是小粒子

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

不想炸一次 要炸就炸一世

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

老同学碰老同学 像大兵碰奇志

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

我看我墨子都不管 莫问墨子时候火

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

不得切火就算国条河我摸哒石头过

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

看不起临阵切兜滴满哥哈咬得严

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

生活有点pia淡滴那国首歌

Life is meaningless, but this song

帮你放点盐

Will help you find its meaning.

喜欢七里八里夹滴是辣妹子辣

The hottie likes to get into trouble.

她灭细灭细策的你都冒点办法

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

比迈阿密更hot滴是长沙滴block

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

要把棚架起唱得他们沙痱子炸

'Cause their songs give goosebumps.

火宫殿里面克拜哈 湖湘滴神话

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

克工大湖大农大 学湖湘文化

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

听哈湖湘Hip-Hop绝对韵你滴味
