作词:泽希(Zesen)&东山居士(Easthill Hermit)
混音:东山居士(Easthill Hermit)
(南京市城市宣传主题音乐系列)
The May dawn in Nanjing just broke the sky
Traffic hadn’t swelled to the morning peak high
Teng Xiaowu stood by his post on the street
Saw an old grandma selling flowers in the breeze
Eighty-some years had traced lines on her face
The blooms in her hands still held morning’s grace
He pulled out a thirty-yuan note soft and sincere
Said “I’ll take the rest go home and rest my dear”
One hand on his bike to keep it steady and true
The other held grandma’s arm seeing her safely through
A twenty-second clip went viral across the feed
Folks said “just like helping our own grandma indeed”
Thirty yuan bought an entire spring
Chili oil for your soup That’s the Nanjing way we sing
This city bends down to lift you when you fall
Flowers on his belt like a medal for grace standing tall
Thirty yuan bought an entire spring
Warmth in everything
Some asked if the grandma was struggling to get by
Police checked in said her family was doing fine
They chose not to press not to stir up more noise
Let the warmth sit right where it was perfect and poised
He said “It’s no big deal no need for extra words”
That’s just how Nanjing folks are at their core unperturbed
One hand on his bike to keep it steady and true
The other held grandma’s arm seeing her safely through
A twenty-second clip went viral across the feed
Folks said “just like helping our own grandma indeed”
Thirty yuan bought an entire spring
Chili oil for your soup That’s the Nanjing way we sing
This city bends down to lift you when you fall
Flowers on his belt like a medal for grace standing tall
Thirty yuan bought an entire spring
Warmth in everything
Every day this city sees moments just like this
Not a performance not for praise just pure instinct
Five years on the beat it’s second nature to him
Like Nanjing folks say “it’s no big deal no need to win”
Kindness don’t need a reason don’t need a rhyme
Warmth stops right where it’s perfect every single time
Thirty yuan bought an entire spring
Chili oil for your soup That’s the Nanjing way we sing
This city bends down to lift you when you fall
Flowers on his belt like a medal for grace standing tall
Thirty yuan bought an entire spring
Warmth in everything
No need to thank it’s what we do
