“I wish to be, a chirping bird, only for a blossom spring…”

It’s unfortunate that I can’t upload a video. I only know how to add in picture and files. I think it’s because that I didn’t pay enough, so the website is restricting me from uploading audios or videos.

I was performing this song in my school concert with my friend! I was playing the piano and we song this song together on stage. We did some court design and it sounds so good!

I think I will probably record the song again with those course added some point.

Listen to this song I wrote while reading the lyric.

“I wish to be a chirping bird
Only for a blossom spring
I wish to be a shining star
Only for a summer night
I wish to be the glooming moon
For you, reiterated with full

There will be constellations at night
I will be tears you drop by
There will be firelight that’s bright
I’m the memory along your side

When you are laughter with all the cheers
I will be the song that sings
When you are the tears that’s from the mares
I will be the star that shines sheer

When the crowd are still in dream
When I’m still sitting all alone.”

The lyric is actually excerpts from a Chinese poem called Wish, written by Jiang Xun.

In ninth-grade’s ELL theater class, the teacher asked us to translate a poem from our mother language into english. I chose this poem to complete the assignment. I’ve been loving this poem for several years. Now, when my song writing summit require us to produce our own song, I chose this poem again. I want to write a rhythm for the poem I loved.

Here’s the translation for the full poem I wrote in ninth grade 🙂

“Wish

I wish to be a chirping bird

Only for a blossom spring

I wish to be a shining star

Only for a midsummer night

I wish to be thousand of river

Only for one direction of sea

I wish to be that moon

For you, restart with full

If you are an island

I wish to be the ocean that hug you in embrace

If you are the ship ready to sail

I will be the breeze that whistle by

If you are going till the horizon

I wish to be those path

Prepare with smooth and flat

With you to the far of us

When you are tired

I wish to be the night

I wish to be the house standing by

With soft pillow and bed

For you to have a rest

There will be dream at night

I will be the tear you drop right by

I wish to be the sturdy arm

For you to rely on

Even with hair that’s white as snow

I still wish to be the firelight that drive cold

With you and the memory we’ve been through

When you are laughter

I will be the song that sings

When you are tears

I will be the star that stays

When you are finally a piece of earth

I wish to be the grass that grows by

When you once become breath, The time I become air

If, still if——

If you still have any unforgettable with this world

Then allow me to just make one more vow

Wish to meet you in the other galaxy

There’s a kind of love

In between

The name of glory and sine

At the distance of stars floating west

When the crowd are still in dream

With me sitting alone

Waiting for the ferry”

(I actually like the ending the most, but I really don’t know how to put that part into the song, unfortunate)
