If you like Chen Jieyi's "Home", you will definitely like this song too

I believe that in the past one or two weeks, friends living in Singapore have often heard this song on the Internet, on television, and in public places.

This is Singapore's National Day song this year.

What is a National Day song?

Almost every year since 1985, Singapore has written a song for August 9, National Day, from the earliest "Stand Up for Singapore" to this year's "The Road Ahead".

One of them is believed to be quite familiar to everyone, Chen Jieyi's "Home" and "Home".

The afterglow is lingering for three days.

This year's "The Road Ahead", we once organized children in Singapore to do an online chorus on the Singapore Eye Video Number, and many readers said that they liked it.

However, there are also some friends who say that they do not understand the lyrics very well.

So we try to translate it for the reader's sake:

One man on an island

The island is alone

One drop in the sea

It's like a drop of water in the ocean

All it takes to set a wave in motion

How to drive the waves

Is a single word, an action

Come up with a word and action

A hope that we can be

Embrace faith

The change that we’ve been longing to see

Create long-awaited transformations

For our home, our land, our family

For this paradise, a beautiful home

It’s all within our reach

You and I can contribute

See this island, every grain of sand

In this island nation, there is one heart for all

Hear this anthem, it’s the voices of our friends

Loud singing, friends singing in unison

Come whatever on the road ahead

The road ahead is long, even if it is dangerous

We did it before, and we’ll do it again

Along the way, why fear hardships

When the moments turn to hours

Time passes bit by bit

And the day’s last light is gone

The day is always going to pass

Look around us always and remember

Look around and don't forget to remind yourself

There were times we were uncertain

We are sometimes confused

But we just kept walking on

Still moving forward

It’s always darkest just before the dawn

After the darkness is dawn

Our home, the home we share

Our common home

Where the garden always grows toward the light

Towards the light, always positive

Though the road ahead is daunting,

Even if the road ahead is bumpy

I know we’re gonna be alright

We muster up the courage to move forward

Beautiful tomorrow, we will achieve it again
