The lyrics of Mao Buyi's "Relieve Sorrow" are as follows:
When you walk into this happy place, you carry all your dreams and thoughts on your back.
With all the different makeup on your face, no one will remember what you look like.
After three rounds of drinking, you were in the corner, stubbornly singing a bitter song.
Listen to it being drowned in the noise, you pick up the wine glass and say to yourself.
One cup to the morning sun, one cup to the moonlight.
Awaken my yearning and soften the cold window.
So you can fly against the wind without looking back.
Don’t be afraid of rain in your heart and frost in your eyes.
A toast to my hometown and a toast to the distant place.
Guard my kindness and urge me to grow.
So the road between north and south is no longer long.
The soul no longer has nowhere to rest and is a restless guest.
Performing self-righteously, pretending to dance and be tired.
You pick up the wine glass and say to yourself, a toast to the rising sun.
A toast to the moonlight, awakening my yearning.
I am gentle to Han Chuang, so I don’t have to look back.
Flying against the wind, I am not afraid of rain in my heart.
There is frost under the eyes, and I would like to pay a toast to my hometown.
A toast to the distance, guarding my kindness.
Urges me to grow, so the road from north to south.
It will no longer be long from now on, and the soul will no longer have nowhere to rest.
A toast to tomorrow and a toast to the past.
It supports my body and thickens my shoulders.
Although I never believe it, the so-called mountains are high and rivers are long.
Life is too short, why bother with it.
One cup for freedom, one cup for death.
Forgive me for being ordinary and dispel the confusion.
Well, after dawn, I always leave in a hurry.
A sober person is the most absurd, a sober person is the most absurd.
Song Appreciation:
The continuous "several glasses of wine" in "Xiaochou" are used by Mao Buyi as "one cup to the morning sun, one cup to the moonlight, one cup to my hometown, one cup to A toast to the distance, a toast to tomorrow, a toast to the past, a toast to freedom, and a toast to death." It evokes a picture of young people leaving their hometowns and moving forward heavily with the worries and burdens of all ordinary lives.
Mao Buyi uses the construction of images such as "hometown", "distance", "kindness" and "growth" to help young people who are working hard in life but sometimes feel powerless to find emotional support* **Ming. Mao Buyi's poems are not only neat and neat, but also, what is rare, are that his poems are permeated with a deep understanding of life and can touch people's hearts.
