Alive by Sa Dingding

从前冬天冷呀夏天雨呀水呀
   
last winter was cold ya, summer rainy ya, and wet ya

秋天远处传来你声音暖呀暖呀
   
in autumn, from a distant place came your voice, warm ya, warm ya

你说那时屋后面有白茫茫茫雪呀
   
you said that behind the house at that time was vast vast vast white snow ya

山谷里有金黄旗子在大风里飘呀
   
in the valley a golden flag waved in a great wind ya

我看见山鹰在寂寞两条鱼上飞
   
I saw a mountain hawk, flying over two lonely fish

两条鱼儿穿过海一样咸的河水
   
two fish that have passed through salty-as-the-sea river water

一片河水落下来遇见人们破碎
   
some river water that fell and broke upon people

人们在行走身上落满山鹰的灰
   
people who were walking with the ash of hawks falling on their bodies

 ya- is a random sound.
