Day After Day
Resilience Amidst Hardships: China Crisis's Poetic Reflection on Hometown Struggles
Lyrics
Day after day
Continual passage of time
In my hometown
Refers to the place where the speaker grew up
Trade undismayed
Business and commerce continue without being discouraged
And so proud
Feeling a sense of pride
Life under no illusions
Living without false beliefs or misconceptions
Illusions fade away
False beliefs gradually disappear or diminish
No mindless politician
No need for superficial or thoughtless politicians
Is needed
No requirement for mindless political figures
When grown men
Adult men
Who've worked for years
Individuals who've toiled for years
In return, in a word
Expecting something in exchange for their efforts, summed up in a single word
Are reduced to tears
Reduced to crying or deep sorrow
Rain fall on down
Rain falling on the speaker's hometown
Onmy home town
Describing precipitation on the home city
Fall on us all
Rain affecting everyone equally on new territories or circumstances
On new ground
The survival of the happiest people despite political situations
Survival of the happiest
The way politics affect one's existence
The politics of being
For mindless politicians, there is no suitable position or role
For the mindless politician
Blank line
There's no place
No place or relevance for mindless political figures
When grown men
Adult men
Who've worked for years
People who've put in substantial work over time
In return, in a word
Expecting something in exchange for their efforts, summed up in a single word
Are reduced to tears
Reduced to crying or deep sorrow
Day after day
Continual passage of time
In my hometown
Refers to the place where the speaker grew up
Stay who will stay
Those who choose to remain in the speaker's hometown
In the old town
Staying in the old, familiar area
