This song is about the love for a language (Chinese) and how deep, musical and full of emotions it is.
It uses natural images such as wind, stars, rivers, mountains, to say that each word is like a dream, a story or a safe support.
The number eight comes up often, because in China it brings good luck and symbolizes destiny.

风从远方轻轻吹，
(The wind softly blows from afar,)
带来心声与思维。
(Bringing heart’s voice and thoughts.)
笔尖飞舞画心意，
(The pen dances, painting feelings.)
一字一句映晨晖。
(Each word shines in the morning light.)

我爱你语言的八个理由，
(I love your language for eight reasons,)
像八颗星星闪在心头。
(Like eight stars shining in my heart.)
声如丝，语如玉，
(Voice like silk, words like jade,)
每句话都藏着梦与路。
(Every sentence hides dreams and journeys.)

一笔写出一轮月，
(One stroke draws a full moon,)
几字描出银河夜。
(A few words sketch the Milky Way night.)
千年故事在心中，
(A thousand-year story lives in the heart,)
字字句句响无穷。
(Every word and phrase echoes forever.)

我爱你语言的八个理由，
(I love your language for eight reasons,)
像八座高山让我依靠。
(Like eight tall mountains I lean on.)
字如舞，音如火，
(Words dance, sounds burn like fire,)
每个音节都值得琢磨。
(Every syllable is worth pondering.)

不仅意思那么深，
(Not only are the meanings deep,)
你说话的方式更动人。
(The way you speak is even more touching.)
节奏如古河流淌，
(The rhythm flows like an ancient river,)
梦中回响似琴声。
(Echoes in dreams like the sound of a zither.)

我爱你语言的八个理由，
(I love your language for eight reasons,)
像八盏灯火在我左右。
(Like eight lanterns shining around me.)
中文如歌穿越心灵，
(Chinese flows like a song through the soul,)
清澈透明，如水如金。
(Clear and pure, like water and gold.)

八，是幸运和命运…
(Eight means luck and destiny…)
你话语中我感恩与沉思。
(In your words, I find gratitude and reflection.)
